(Reposted from net.invest to get a broader audience of responses.)
This summer some friends approached us representing A.L. Williams.
This company appears to be organized comparably to Amway and other
"part-time" companies. Their approach to insurance and investments
was new to us ("Common Sense") and we have undertaken comparisons of
companies for term insurance. The idea is that one should buy as pure
a form of term insurance as possible and invest the difference one
would have been spending on whole-life (or the even worse Universal
life) insurance. The trick of course is to invest that difference
rather than blow it. We intend to do just that.
My question is that while A.L. Williams appears to have competitive
insurance, has anyone had any experience (or rumors) about their
investments? Since I've not followed investing much more than savings
this is a new area for me. Can anyone give some good, reasonably
safe approaches?
Replies will be summarized to net.invest.
