Smart Articles on Money and Disability
6th February 2010
While we wait for The State DOT Plow to hit our hill, I’m reading. Got two good stories in the NYT, both written in a surprisingly thoughtful, but interesting way. Like newspaper writing used to be.
The first looks at the continuing fight over Index Funds for investing. Everyone with any sense knows that Index Funds are ridiculous, but then, every year nobody always beats the Index standard. If the average always beats everyone, isn’t it the smart play?
The second takes a great analytic stance on the problem of disability and your likelihood of getting one while your working. What are the odds? How should you cover it? How do you even think about the problem? The writer here does a great job with a nice sense of humor and skepticism.
Still snowing.
