DALBAR’s Measure of Investor Underperformance is Wrong
Here are some short takes and some weekend reading:
Warren Buffett says “most American children are going to live far better than their parents did.” His sensibly optimistic essay is a good antidote to the pessimistic hand-wringing over lost jobs due to automation.

Doug Runchey at Retire Happy explains the 5 proposed changes to CPP agreed to by the federal and provincial Ministers of Finance.
Mr. Money Mustache explains why you shouldn’t invest in bitcoin. He shows that he understands the issues very well.
The Blunt Bean Counter looks at the revised rules on taxing income sprinkling.
Big Cajun Man makes some financial predictions for 2018. I find it interesting that Canadians love to predict that the Canadian dollar will rise against the U.S. dollar. Of course, nobody knows what will happen to the dollar.
