The Common Man's "Golden Parachute"

Dear Daily Reckoning Reader, You might already know, when “Big Oil” executives stop working, they sometimes get “golden parachute” retirement packages. These fat programs can include everything from stock options and pensions to company cars and corporate jets, even personal security teams. But did you know that, thanks to a little known loophole, any regular American could start collecting a lifelong “Big Oil pension” too? This includes regular checks, paid indirectly to you by Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and more. Even if you don’t own a single share in any of these companies. In fact, this has nothing to do with buying income-paying dividend stocks at all. Click here for full details.
