Really appreciate your articles over the last couple of years. Always informative and make me think outside my normal comfort area. I have started looking at annuities since your earlier article. Since you have experience with Treasury Notes, do you recommend Treasury Direct, a banker or a broker for the purchase? Are you seeking a specific interest rate or are you going with the market amount? I also noticed on the Treasury Direct site that when bidding the note may cost more at auction than the actual face value of the note upon maturity. Do you consider this or do you just go with the flow?
