When I first started investing in The Hartford fund Jimmy Carter was president and my home loan was 14.75% (not a misprint)
The Hartford fund was paying a fixed 12.5%.

When you say getting a secure 4% I'm curious to lnow what secure vehicle there is today to get that. I only mention because may want to check, if it's a bond fund that's exposed to foreign governmental bonds it may not be as secure as you may think, I certainly hope not, but might want to check my friend.

Great! My mother and father in law are in a Hartford fund. They put X amount in and it was guaranteed to never drop below that amount(of course deducting withdraws) and they held up their end on it, I was impressed because I was really leery when I first heard about it. My F-i-L has a not so good track record of ,umm,financial planning.
HA, could you imagine getting 12.5 fixed now a days? I'd be in.
