Only a strong economy can create higher asset values and sustainably good returns for savers.

While no amount of financial wealth can guarantee an experience of prosperity, it is possible to experience prosperity at almost any level of income, except when we are unable to meet our basic physical needs.

If you discourage saving and investment, that means you're walking in the opposite direction of job creation. You're discouraging good job creation and job growth.

'Returnless risk' is not how you prepare for a decent retirement.

Plenty of funds have fine long-term returns despite being tax-inefficient and generally costly. But a dirty secret is this: Average, no-load fund investors do much worse than the funds - or the market.

Investment is crucial. Because the truth is, you only get jobs and growth in the economy when people invest money, at their own risk, in setting up a business or expanding an existing business.

Our goal is not to produce immediate results. We've been tasked with producing long-term results. That means that there's more risk in any individual thing we take on. But we still aspire to a strong return on investment.

The market economy is very good at wealth creation but not perfect at all about wealth distribution.
