  • Talking Points With Clients Who Love The Market
    Dec 16 2024

    Explore effective talking points for engaging clients who are enthusiastic about the stock market.

Dive into their comfort with market fluctuations, questioning if they would still find satisfaction if they hedged against potential downsides. Prompt them to consider the unpredictability of tomorrow's market and their financial threshold for potential losses. By calculating potential losses in dollar terms, clients can gain a clearer perspective on the risks they are willing to take, akin to strategies used in gambling. These discussions can help clients reflect on their investment strategies and consider the benefits of diversifying with annuities for more stable returns.
