Now, I don't know if Einstein owned any annuities — but you don't have to be a genius to realize that when one of the architects of our federal financial policy has some of his largest holdings in these financial instruments it might be worth considering.

Yes, Ben Bernanke's largest holdings are in annuities. Maybe he knows something others don't?

Not to be outdone by his own employee, even Bernanke's boss, then President Obama, was publicly proclaiming the virtues of the lowly annuity to the masses in 2012: https://money.cnn.com/2012/02/02/pf/rules_retirement_annuities/

And, just when you thought that it might be a mild conspiracy within a small circle of the government — along comes the non-partisan GAO, the Government Accountability Office, to tell Americans to buy more annuities: https://www.investingdaily.com/11304/gao-report-tells-americans-buy-more-annuities

 So former President Obama, his Federal Chairman and the Government Accountability Office were all in cahoots on the annuity it appears.
