How can you earn up to 7.25% to 9.25% while protecting your cash against a market bubble? Is it possible to stay invested in the S&P 500 with guaranteed principal protection? The short answer is yes and in today's ultimate guide to annuities, that's what we'll be talking about - fixed indexed annuities (FIAs), as well as other annuities for those of you looking for guaranteed lifetime income and/or CD-like options. Here are the timestamps:

4:32 Single premium immediate annuities (SPIAs) for those of you looking to convert a one-time lump sum payment into an immediate & guaranteed income for life 

23:52 Multi-year guaranteed annuities (MYGAs) which are more like CDs in that they accumulate a guaranteed fixed interest rate for a certain time until maturity, but do not pay out regular income. 

34:39 Fixed indexed annuities (FIAs), which are currently very popular with our Diamond NestEgg regulars who are looking for downside protection while at the same time keeping some potentially higher market-based returns, tied to the S&P 500 for example. 

1:08:03 Qualified longevity annuity contracts (QLACs) which are generally used to lower required minimum distributions (RMD), defer taxes and manage longevity risk if you have pre-tax retirement savings
