Is Pres. Trump's firing of Comey a precursor to a bigger danger?

By Fareed Zakaria I have tried to evaluate Donald Trump’s presidency fairly. I’ve praised him when he has appointed competent people to high office and expressed support for his policies when they seemed serious and sensible (even though this has drawn criticism from some…

Financial literacy: Few Americans understand personal finance fundamentals

By Mark Lund If only money came with instructions. If it did, the route toward wealth would be clear and direct. Unfortunately, many people have inadequate financial knowledge, and for them, the path is more obscure. Are most people clueless about financial matters? That depends…

Protect your legacy from taxes: Taking responsibility & ownership of your future

By Doug Andrew Last month, the nation’s mind was on taxes. Millions of Americans were rushing to make the tax deadline, assessing how much they had already sent to the government (and hoping against hope they didn’t need to send more). Whether you’re getting a refund or writing…

The fear-based campaign to establish government control of the Internet

By Veronique de Rugy Public fear is an ally of big government. When fear sets in among the populace — often with encouragement from self-interested politicians — the result is usually an expansion of governmental power and a loss of individual rights. Politicians typically stoke…

The Trump effect: Impact of president on foreign policy of other countries

By Fareed Zakaria There has been much focus on Donald Trump’s erratic foreign policy — the outlandish positions, the many flip-flops, the mistakes. But far more damaging in the long run might be what some have termed "the Trump effect" — the impact of Trump on the domestic…

Social Security: When is the right time to apply for your benefits?

By Mark Lund Now or later? When it comes to the question of Social Security income, the choice looms large. Should you apply now to get earlier payments or wait for a few years to get larger checks? Consider what you know — and don’t know. You know how much retirement money you…

Utah Tech: Taking too much of time? Making the case for automated patch management

By Mike Herrington Patch management is a critical function in maintaining network security for businesses, but the labor cost of keeping up on it frequently stops it from happening. A patch is a piece of software designed to update a computer program or its supporting data or to…

FATCA: Another attempt to make low-tax nations serve the high-taxers

By Veronique de Rugy I’ve previously argued that the Trump administration should stop funding the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development because of its advocacy of higher taxes and tax harmonization. At the time, I was told that my position could be perceived as…

The education of Trump: Running an administration is 'complicated' stuff

By Fareed Zakaria There are so many unusual, unprecedented aspects of Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office that it’s hard to know where to begin. By his own yardstick, the number of promises unfulfilled is staggering. During the campaign, Trump said he would ask for a bill…

Your retirement account: It’s important to have a plan, not just a stock portfolio

By Mark Lund In the first quarter of 2017, the bull market seemed unstoppable. The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared past 20,000 and closed at all-time highs on 12 consecutive trading days. The Nasdaq Composite gained almost 10 percent in three months. An eight-year-old bull…

There's no doubt about it: All of us are smarter than any one of us

Business Tech: Why Tiger Woods and your IT guy may have more in common than you think

By Mike Herrington Tiger Woods is an amazing athlete and one of the world’s most decorated golfers. Your IT guy is, well, ahem, less than athletic, perhaps. So what could Tiger Woods and your IT guy possibly have in common? The short answer is that their jobs are more similar…

CFPB prepaid card rule again targets a product popular with the masses

By Veronique de Rugy Whenever innovation produces a new technology or product that benefits the masses, government bureaucrats inevitably try to smother it with excessive regulation. They often even have the gall to claim they are doing so for public benefit. Such is the case…

North Korea: A difficult testing ground for Trump's bellicose approach

By Fareed Zakaria Every American administration takes a while to settle into a basic approach to the world. Pres. Trump’s team has had a rockier start than most, with many important positions in every key agency still unfilled. More worrying, the administration’s basic foreign…

Spending your retirement savings: Some destinations are better than others

By Mark Lund You can probably envision how most of your retirement money will be spent. Much of it will be used on living expenses, healthcare expenses, and, perhaps, debt reduction. Beyond the basics, you will unquestionably reserve some of those dollars for grand adventures…

BUSINESS TECH: There are multiple approaches to backup and disaster recovery planning

By Mike Herrington Most businesses know that having a good backup of their company data is critical. However, most small and medium businesses don’t spend nearly enough energy doing strategic planning for disaster recovery. There are a lot of factors to consider to determine the…

Should the United States stop cooperating with - and financing - the OECD?

By Veronique de Rugy How would you feel if I told you that we taxpayers are spending millions of dollars every year to fund an army of bureaucrats who advocate higher taxes and bigger government around the globe? That’s exactly what the United States does when it sends its…

Trump Derangement Syndrome: Prez's policies aren't automatically wrong

By Fareed Zakaria I didn’t really believe that there was such a thing as Trump Derangement Syndrome — hatred of Donald Trump so intense that it impairs people’s judgment. It’s not that I didn’t notice the harsh, unyielding language against Donald Trump — I said a few tough…

How do you proceed when someone dies without a will?

By Mark K. Lund Every day, people die “intestate.” In legalese, that means they died without a will. This opens the door for the courts to decide what happens with their estates. When no valid will exists, state intestacy laws dictate how assets are distributed. These laws…

Another deadline on April 28 - Is the sky the limit for the debt ceiling?

Trump's Syria action is laudable, but one strike doesn't make a strategy

By Fareed Zakaria There is much to applaud in Pres. Trump’s decision to attack the Bashar Assad regime recently. It punished a regime that has engaged in war crimes against its own people. It upheld an international norm against chemical weapons. It ended Trump’s strange…

Too many people make these common, harmful estate-planning errors
