"The strongest of all warriors are these two--Time and Patience." Leo Tolstoy was writing about real blood-and-guts combat in his novel War and Peace. But the same can be said about the battle for financial security in retirement. Every good soldier knows that the key to victory is saving early and often. But a relatively new tool, the qualified longevity annuity contract, or QLAC, can pay off for latecomers.

Imagine, a 60-year-old man invests $125,000 of his IRA money in a QLAC that won��t pay him a dime until he reaches age 85, 25 long years from now. That��s where the time and patience comes in. The payoff: Starting at age 85, the annuity will open an income stream of $60,000 a year, every year, for the rest of his life. No matter how long he lives. If he lives to 95, that $125,000 beachhead will return $600,000 to cover his late-in-life bills. A 65-year-old woman who invests $125,000 in a QLAC and waits 20 years for payments to begin will receive monthly payments of $3,300, or nearly $40,000 a year.

Top 5 Healthcare Technology Stocks To Buy For 2017: SanDisk Corporation(SNDK)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Michael Flannelly]
Early on Friday, analysts at RBC Capital boosted the near-term estimates on SanDisk Corporation (SNDK), a manufacturer of data storage products, because a fire at SK Hynix’s factory should lead to favorable pricing over the next two quarters.
“We see a favorable pricing environment as a result of SK Hynix’s fire, which threatens to curtail NAND output as the company likely re-purposes production back toward DRAM, resulting in lower than expected incremental NAND wafers vs. company’s plan of 170K/WPM,” RBC Capital analyst Freedman said. “Consequently, we see stronger pricing through EoY before SK Hynix ramps NAND toward normalized prod’t levels as DRAM resources are restored/replaced.”
The analysts maintain an “Outperform” rating on SDNK and still see shares reaching $76. This price target suggests a 26% upside to the stock’s Thursday closing price of $60.08. Furthermore, they boosted SanDisk’s 2013 EPS estimates from $4.82 to $4.95.
SanDisk shares were up a fraction during pre-market trading on Friday. The stock is up 38.11% year-to-date.
