March 25, 2016 11:00 a.m. Your Retirement Finance Week in Review I have some exciting news. A revised edition of my book, The New Rules of Retirement, will be published next month.

Most investors, especially institutional investors, follow the wrong processes, says Ben Hunt of Salient Partners. Here’s a good article he wrote recently on the high points of his theory, which he calls Adaptive Investing. It’s also entertaining, especially if you don’t mind The Godfather trilogy.
