Understanding Income Investing – Second Chance Survey

Generally speaking, are these statements mostly true or mostly false? Take the test; win a prize.

1. Lower interest rates can be good for investors.
2. Higher interest rates (within reason) can be good for investors.
3. Interest rate cycles are generally much shorter than stock market cycles.
4. CDs and Money Market funds are excellent investments.
5. Closed End Income Funds should be avoided because they employ leverage.
6. Social Security is an excellent example of a defined benefit pension plan.
7. You just can't lose money buying Treasury Bills.
8. Congress should implement a system of SSRIAs (Social Security Retirement Income Annuities) to solve Social Security funding problems, lower taxes, increase jobs, and boost economic activity.

Please indicate "T" or "F" along side each statement or provide a list of some kind that indicates an opinion on each statement. Please answer every question, but don't add your analysis unless you do so in a private email--- I don't want to influence other peoples' perceptions or answers. (You can beat me up personally, when I respond with your results.)

I'm continuing to fine-tune my "Managing the Income Portfolio" Web-Workshop, and the previous survey was very helpful.

Your participation will earn you a free workshop of your choice, when you sign up for any of the "Continuing Education" workshops or seminars described at Kiawah Golf Investment Seminars .net.

Thanks so much for your help.
