By Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell, Next Avenue A friend with whom I had previously worked with instant-messaged me on Facebook a couple of years ago and asked, “Hey, have you applied for your pension?” We had worked together 35 years ago in the credit department of a major bank. I replied, “Pension? We get a pension?” She told me another friend with whom we worked had told her about it.

A couple of analyst downgrades are making the rounds Monday on megacap stocks that rarely see ratings cuts: Apple and Amazon. They highlight both a problem and an opportunity for regular investors. At Jefferies, analysts downgraded Apple to a hold but increased the price target to $213 apiece from $205. Meanwhile, analysts at Wells Fargo downgraded Amazon to equal weight (hold) and cut their price target to $183 from $225. The issue with both calls is that they’re aimed at short-term traders and hedge funds, not longer-term investors. Neither report calls into question the underlying fundamentals of these businesses or…

CBS News executives said Monday that a heated morning show interview with acclaimed author Ta-Nehisi Coates, during which his new book was compared to “extremist” writings, did not meet the network’s editorial standards. CBS executives told staffers during a daily editorial meeting that the contentious “CBS Mornings” interview last week with Coates, led by co-anchor Tony Dokoupil, had been addressed with Dokoupil. The assessment pacified some employees who had objected to Dokoupil’s tone during the segment with Coates. But it offended other employees who thought Dokoupil’s interview was appropriately tough. “We have an obligation as journalists to challenge controversial guests, and that’s what Tony did,”…

Have you heard of Naval Ravikant? He’s a famed early-stage investor who’s become one of the most rabidly quoted for modern-day wisdom. I caught a video clip of his recently that, while only 52 seconds long, contains weeks’ worth of wisdom on the notion of true wealth. By the way, true wealth is distinguished from the blander version of wealth we’ve settled for in the 21st century. It harkens back to the original meaning of the word, which was less about loud accumulation and more about quiet contentment. True wealth isn’t a number, but a state of being. True wealth…
