This is kind of strange given that the article isn't really about investing at all. If you can cut through the Friedman word salad his point seems to be "a 401(k) world requires you to learn much more about investing in yourself."
This article is, like so many of Friedman's, basically garbage. I guess he's saying that like you need to figure out what the best 401(k) investments are, so too do you need to figure out how best to shape your skillset for the market? I can barely find a thesis in this article other than "things are changing due to technology, some of this is good and some of it is bad."
It's possible, though, that the next six months will be critical.
- marcosdumay 13y agoI guess (but I'm still not sure) that his main point is that there is no place for somebody that doesn't "learn how to invest" himself. It used to be that people could choose to be extra flexible and get a better position because of that. Today, as he states - I'm not sure I agree, people have to be extra flexible to get anything at all.
