The latest 401(k) Today Quarterly Newsletter
Real reason for optimism. About that light at
the end of the tunnel, it might not be the headlight of the locomotive
after all.
Predicting market is anyone's guess. Black Swan
this, Black Swan that. It seems like the term "Black Swan"
is on everyone's lips these days and is even in the title of a
John Bogle speech.
For '08, rethink investments. With respect to
considering this year's investment strategy, I feel like I'm in
one of those submarine movies where the speakers are crackling,
"Dive. ... Dive!"

- Saving better than earning
Ben Franklin was apparently a big fan of nudity and wrote about
the value of what he called "air baths." He's more commonly
known, however, for being one of the earliest champions of the
personal growth movement spouting aphorisms about getting to bed
early, eating apples, and pointing out that "a penny saved
is a penny earned."
April 28, 2008

Some prankster must have pasted a Post-it note saying "kick
me" on the back of Alan Greenspan's shirt.
April 17, 2008
- Correction: House beats stock market
Last week's column compared the performance of residential
real estate with a comparable investment in the Dow Jones industrial
average. My e-mail was just sizzling on Monday morning thanks

take leverage into consideration.
April 8, 2008
- Homeownership versus stocks
A few of my friends have now received that well-publicized
letter from the Bank of America telling them that their home equity
line of credit has been, let's just say, "expunged from the
records."
April 1, 2008
- Pick your own large-cap stocks
The late Muktananda was a swami in Emeryville back in the
'70's who taught me some meditation techniques along with a mantra
that went "oohm, neva, shevaya."
March 31, 2008
- Social security as an investment
The farmer who was asked why his pig had a prosthetic leg
said, "Because we're saving the rest of him to eat later."
March 17, 2008
- Book sheds light on taxing issues
David Cay Johnston is a Pulitzer prize-winning New York Times
reporter and author of the book "Perfectly Legal" that
chronicled the way in which the wealthiest U.S. citizens have
avoided taxation.
March 3, 2008
