Ok first this question is for people who have serious money (ie Rick, Rich, Jay, etc), not for rest of you who live from paycheck to paycheck. If the later is you, please ignore this thread and move on.

















I am planning to leave the country in less then a year for couple years and would like to invest my money in some relatively long term 2-5 year annuity that will give me 18-30% back. We are talking about excess of 6 figures here. Anyone use Charles Shwab or Vanguard to manage their portfolios? If so what is your impression of your service?
