<If people start at age 20 [or whenever they start getting positive cash flow] and put money into the stock market every 3 months for 20 years, they are going to retire, with a compounded return of something like 5% to 10%. It's a statistical game but the outputs far exceed brokerage costs. It doesn't matter when they start. > OK, we'll start at DOW 150,000... I know you can buy it a tad cheaper from Mr. Market, but you won't mind since price matters not. I'll sell your kids the annuity, just put the check in the mail... I'll sell up to $20 million dollars worth [today's money]. You are right about this part: <<It is not a zero-sum game with the house taking a 3% cut every couple of minutes [as in a casino]. >> DAK
