This statement is too vague, it's best to let numbers talk.
But even from a qualitative perspective, in a flat market, as long as the
market fluctuates, and as long as you do dollar cost averaging, your low
cost investment should still beat IUL, for two key reasons -
1) the IUL's initial years' costs are simply too high, it offsets any
benefits brought by it;
2) in a down market, your investment will have more purchasing power! |

Using locks unfortunately have problems, like creating dead lock situations,

the word "is working for" is very vague, and all the requirements do not

You cannot assume that each node has a parent node. Actually this is a great
