CI does not offer investment advice and does not endorse the investment
advice of others. The following is information that you and your investment
advisers may wish to consider.
The
Reanimation Foundation sets up trust funds in Lichtenstein, where according
to it there is no perpetuity law. The foundation states that this allows
a person to leave money in such a fund indefinitely, so
that he can preserve his personal savings till revived from cryonic
suspension.

Cryonics Institute member John de Rivaz
is of the opinion that if cryonics succeeds, then the growth in quotations
of technology companies averaged over periods of decades will be of the order
of 25% per year. Short term fluctuations, such as the enormous rise between
Sept 2000 and March 2001, and the subsequent fall back again must be ignored
in any long term holding of shares. Also be aware that "dot com" companies
are not necessarily technology companies. They are trading companies.
If
technology does not grow this way, then it is likely that there will be no
revivals. Therefore it makes sense to fund cryopreservation by technology
investment. If technology fails, then so will cryonics -- and you will know
nothing about it.
For
investments in technology companies, one should take a look at his
web pages about
investment in technology for cryonics purposes. He is also willing to
discuss individual requirements by email:
John@deRivaz.com. There is
also a life
insurance/investment comparison page he has made where you can experiment
with different scenarios of growth.
Of
course different people have different views on investment, and ultimately
the choice and responsibility is yours after reading as many opinions as
possible.
And,
of course, the best investment one can make to insure one's survival is to
consider increasing your insurance policy endowment or making a donation
to your cryonics provider. The stronger a cryonics organization is financially,
the safer its patients are, and the better the chances for all its
members. |
