We read the Journal every morning and publish what it changes. 401(k) planning, retirement income and model portfolios, from an independent firm in Los Angeles.
Crude fell a fourth day Monday and the Nasdaq closed at a record, but the Journal’s front page says hiring a supertanker out of the Gulf topped $1 million a day — about $26 of freight on every barrel. Plus the 10-year’s ride to 5%, a retired pilot’s tax torpedo, selling a house at 7%, a 99.9% sure thing that fumbled, and the last night of John Waters’s summer camp.
Purpose and objectives first. Fifteen minutes covers them.

The market rarely tells you what it is doing in a single day. It tells you in a paragraph on page B3 that nobody read.
When you call, you get the person who built the portfolio. Bring a statement.
