Stan The Annuity Man®, by the title of this podcast, summarizes two key points of this conversation with Paul Merriman, as part of Stan’s “Fun With Annuities Podcast Celebrity Series.” Stan writes in his podcast notes, “I’d choose Paul Merriman advice over that of Warren Buffet. Once you listen to this podcast, you will know why.” Meanwhile, Paul considers Stan “a Truth Tellers among financial educators.”

They discuss:

Making decisions that are in your individual best interest.
Understanding what you’re trying to achieve and what you want to do with your investments in the market.
Navigating the forks in the savings road.
Finding your “good enough” return.

Key Takeaways:

To be a successful long-term investor, you have to shut out all of the noise.
There is always a “good news list” and a “bad news list” for all market decisions.
Stay in your lane — investing takes time.
Every stock has reason to buy, and every stock has reason to sell. If they didn’t, there would be no trade.
