Clark Howard talks recession and life insurance policies
Interesting articles from Clark Howard’s website:
Recession officially confirmed by economic team
CLARKONOMICS: Back in late winter, Clark originally said that we were in a recession. He was stunned at the time because he was catching flak from listeners who felt his comments were politically motivated. They weren’t.Then in April, Clark participated in a debate with nationally syndicated talk show host Neal Boortz and WSB-AM radio personality Herman Cain. The penny-pincher felt it was self-evident that we were in a recession, primarily because he hears calls from you day in and day out.

Make sure your life insurer is financially healthy
Clark doesn’t want to create anxiety, but he does want to let you know that a number of life insurers are on financially shaky ground.The insurers are being hit with a double whammy. On one hand, they had some commercial real estate investments on their books that went sour. On the other hand, they’re required to pay certain holders of variable annuities (who signed a special rider) to make up for any losses incurred in the stock market. Read the full story.

More than ever it’s important to check on the financial strength of a life insurance company. A couple of areas to check on is the percentage or stock and the percentage of mortgage backed securities in their investment portfolios. This, though, may not always be a bad indicator as some companies prudently hedged their stock portfolios earlier this Fall.
