    Kansas says No to abortion bans. Congratulations!

    Every women deserves the right to have autonomy over the bodies. The United States is one of the few industrialized countries where that right in not guaranteed for all its citizens.

    Pelosi’s Taiwan Visit was a dumb move. What was she thinking?

    Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan was one dumbest political moves I have seen since I started to read about politics.

While conventional wisdom suggests that investors should shift more assets to bonds as they approach retirement, I insists that investing in stocks (instead of bonds) is the best asset allocation for retirement.
