Ninety-eight percent of insurance brokers do not know how to use life insurance optimally. That, anyway, is what one reader wrote in to tell me. I chuckled as I thought to myself, "You could substitute any profession for 'insurance broker' – lawyer, salesperson, politician, etc. – and that statement would still ring true."

According to our methodology, Wall Street is currently in ‘correction mode’ and additional near-term selling pressure cannot be ruled out.
