What a great choice! Congratulations, Mark. If you want to fix our retirement system in an empirically-driven and bipartisan manner, Mark’s work over the last three decades is the best starting point I can think of.

This is impressive.
A lot of talk about Lambda School today, and most of it I'll ignore. One I'm going to respond to - that Lambda School is "creaming" - removing the best students from other schools and locking them into ISAs. This is a tweetstorm full of student stories, so buckle up.

Couldn’t agree more with this whole thread by @FinkeonFinance. Great important piece on annuities by @ronlieber, but the harder story is the one about how certain financial/retirement planning problems we can’t/shouldn’t solve without simple annuities.
1. Many of my advisor friends have been commenting on this article by @ronlieber. First, it's an excellent article and exactly the kind of work financial journalists should be doing. It's important to shine a light on deceptive sales practices. I'd like to add a few points.

Deeply troubling
1) Attend steak dinner retirement seminar with aunt 2) Discover it's about equity indexed annuities 3) Eyebrows rise at problematic chart 4) Go to salesman's office next day with a few dozen questions 4) Get evicted from his office. My column:

The father of the index fund says their increasing dominance may create some of the “major issues of the coming era.”

Congrats, Jared. A childhood friend, Marine Vet, former staff to Sen. Collins(R) and someone who has always been a quiet but tenacious leader. Maine-2 will be well-served, I have no doubt.

The 401(k) turns 40 today. Named for a section of the tax code, it was created in 1978 to supplement defined benefit plans. It has become the essential base of the US retirement system—valuable for those who can afford to fund it and an elusive goal for those who can’t.

Other retirement plans are moving toward automation and simplicity. The K-12 403(b) space has some schools with over 150 vendor choices! This violates every rule of behavioural finance and is done purposefully to confuse and exploit school employees.

So much of our messed up public policy related to both #healthcare and #retirement is because we let perfect be the enemy of way better than it is now

Not saying we’re there yet, but if there’s a consensus in 2018 of a 2020 recession, then it will probably happen in 2019.

On 9/11 there are a few things I need to underscore. 1.) It came as no surprise to New Yorkers that #AlQaeda was responsible. I interviewed people as I made my way to Ground Zero that morning and EVERY one knew who was responsible. [more]
