Greetings!

What a difference a year makes! Last year, Independence Day brought a record high temp of 101 in Mayfield. In fact the Bobfather (organic gardener that he is) reminded me that by this time last year, we had already had a week of 100+ temperatures. But there's another benchmark I think more important: one year ago the S&P 500 was 1365.51. As of July 1, it had risen over 18% to close at 1614.96. It's been a very good year indeed!
Tip of the Month: Stuck in an annuity? Stuck!
  
In last month's tip, I took a stab at explaining how  annuities work. So if you no longer feel warm and cozy toward your annuity, do you have options? Use an IRS Section 1035 exchange to pull yourself out of the quicksand.
