The Show:
As technology changes, should that change how we choose our investments? Ford is planning to put 100 self-driving cars on the road by the end of the year. But does that make them a company to invest in?
Before you go buy stock in Ford, Uber, Tesla, or any other transportation companies, consider the full picture. The movement of new technology can further the value of your investments, but broad diversification is key.
When reflecting back on the moon landing 50 years ago, it’s fun to reminisce on what that time looked like. Comparing that time to now, it’s amazing to see how much the technology has changed.
If you do remember that landing on the moon, you might be in or nearing retirement. But what happens if you are forced into an early retirement? Abe from Middletown asks this question in today’s Cash Connection segment to figure out what to do if he is facing early retirement before he can take Social Security.
