Today I discuss the 2016 economy outlook, alternative investment strategies and critical dates for retirees.

Today I discuss the overall flat day on the market for Wall Street as European stocks close at their lowest since September and energy companies (taking the biggest hits) overall pulling down the index. I then explain why you should have a positive outlook on 2016 as central banks may finally be recognizing they have been over involved in economy. Other topics for discussion include:

• Alternative investment strategies such as long/short hedge funds
• Critical dates for retirees
• Is your retirement plan adjusted for inflation?
• Rebalancing points in your portfolio

I also take a call from Michael who asks if he should keep his long term care policy he bought from GE after it has been bought by another company.
