'I do not worry about my return on investment, I worry about THE RETURN OF MY INVESTMENT'.

[I have avoided bonds and annuities forever on those above fears. For my own account which has more monthly income to easily cover monthly expenses; I am out of the cash vulnerables, both the stock and real estate investments, with no worries - or regrets. My funds are in, and have been in, treasury bills for some time now. I have some bear hedges, and look to possibly add some gold if deflation sets in more]

I suggest you try and defend yourself, and study the conflicting opinions, and note, most investment advice is routinely bullish.
