Could we be seeing changes to the tax code? I also discuss 401k fee solutions and passive vs. active managed funds

Is a new tax code on the horizon? I discuss the US Treasury Departments’ proposal to eliminate a strategy that allows business owners to reduce estate and gift taxes for their heirs. I also discuss S&P 500’s above average revenue and earnings performance even though 5 sectors report year over year declines and Japan’s flattened GDP issues which are worse than ours. Other topics include:

• Solutions to excessive 401k fees
• passive vs. active managed funds
• New parent Joe asks if I recommend a New York or Utah 529 plan
• Warning against variable annuities with surrender charge
