Sebi mulls diversifying ownership of clearing corporationsSANTA CLARA — Jake Moody missed another goal attempt in Week 17, setting social media and talk radio ablaze. Time for the 49ers to get a new kicker, or at the very least some competition during training camp in 2025. Not necessarily, even if coach Kyle Shanahan threw his tablet on the sidelines in frustration after Moody missed a 41-yard attempt in a 29-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins. “I believe we’ve got the right guy,” Shanahan said Thursday as the 49ers (6-9) began preparations to host the Detroit Lions (13-2). “He’s showed that at times. I thought he showed that at times in his rookie year. I thought he showed that in being 12 of 13 to start the year and I think he’ll show that in the future.” But rest assured that Moody will be watched closely to see how he performs in the final two weeks of the season, beginning with a spotlight game on Monday night in a rematch of last year’s NFC Championship Game won 34-31 by the 49ers. Since the game is at Levi’s Stadium, Moody should enter with some confidence. He’s 23-for-30 on field goal attempts a 76.7 rate that’s unacceptable in today’s NFL, let alone for a kicker who was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. But all seven of his misses have been on the road — one in Miami, two in Buffalo in the snow, three in Tampa Bay in the sunshine and one in Los Angeles. Which apparently came as news to Moody. “I actually didn’t know that,” Moody said. “That’s pretty interesting. I don’t think that necessarily has anything to do with it, being home or away. It’s just the misses, I’ve got to hit better kicks. It’s not any specific reason why I miss. I’ve just got to make sure I’m dialed in on my form.” Moody is 15-for-15 in field goal attempts at home, starting off 6-for-6 in the opener against the New York Jets. But Moody sustained a high ankle sprain on his right kicking foot in Week 5 against Arizona, missing three games as the 49ers cycled through Matthew Wright (also injured on a kick return) and Anders Carlson. “Since he’s come back, he hasn’t been as consistent, obviously,” Shanahan said. “I think a lot of it probably has to do with (the injury), just common-sense wise. Hopefully he can get to this offseason, heal up and find a stroke again.” Having a midseason injury was a “learning experience,” according to Moody. “Whether or not that was an issue, I don’t know. I’m still doing the best I can trying to keep everything what it was prior to the injury,” Moody said. “It’s not like you can really blame something.” While tempted to alter his approach and preparation, Moody thought better of it. He considers kicking similar to golf, and said it can take years for golfers to master a swing change. “In this business you don’t have that much time to try and dial something in and do big changes like that,” Moody said. “You’ve got to be consistent and not be changing too many things or you’ll be overwhelmed by everything.” While the 49ers may bring another kicker into camp just for an extra leg, Shanahan didn’t sound as if he was looking to set up a competition for No. 1. “I think you’ve got the wrong guy if you have to,” Shanahan said. “You do that when you don’t think you’re going to have a guy, but when those guys miss too much you go get a new one usually. And that’s what’s tough about the kicker position.” Shanahan hinted strongly Monday that linebacker Dre Greenlaw wouldn’t play in the last two games, saying he’d wait until talking to him before making it official. “He’s not going to play in these two games,” Shanahan said Thursday. “He understood.” Left tackle Spencer Burford (calf) did not practice and Shanahan thought there was a chance he’d be ready to face Detroit with Trent Williams and Jaylon Moore both on injured reserve. Left guard Aaron Banks (knee), who hasn’t yet been placed on IR, did not practice and neither did edge rusher Robert Beal Jr. Those who were limited were safety Ji’Ayir Brown (ankle), running back Isaac Guerendo (foot/ankle). Nick Bosa (hip/oblique) was off the injury list. Veteran offensive lineman Matt Hennessey was added to the roster with Williams going on injured reserve, with Sebastian Gutierrez joining the practice squad. Shanahan will try to piecemeal an offensive line heading into Detroit, with newcomer Charlie Heck also in the mix. “We’ve got to mix and match a number of guys,” Shanahan said. The 49ers activated the practice clock on rookie linebacker Tatum Bethune, who has been out with a knee injury in hopes of getting him back before the end of the regular season. Detroit Dan Campbell thinks last year’s loss to the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game helped prepare them for taking another run at this season. “I think we’re really more mature,” Campbell told the Detroit media. “Every year you learn something about winning and losing. And when you take an `L’ like we did last year you learn from that . . . I think we’re much more prepared than at that time. You feel like you’re (prepared) but you get into that with a heavyweight that’s been there numerous times, you don’t always know. I think that as an experience has served us well moving into this year.” The Lions have also taken notice of what happened to the 49ers in 2022 when Brock Purdy tore the UCL in his throwing elbow in the NFC title game against Philadelphia and didn’t have a viable quarterback. Veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was signed to the roster, giving the Lions three quarterbacks along with starter Jared Goff and backup Hendon Hooker. — Tight end George Kittle (68 receptions, 967 yards) needs 33 yards receiving to reach 1,000 for the fourth time in his career and second in succession. With eight touchdown receptions, he’s three shy of his career high of 11 set in 2022. — Wide receiver Jauan Jennings (63 receptions, 856 yards) needs 144 yards in his last two games to reach 1,000 for the first time in his career. His six touchdown receptions are a career best. — Bosa has has seven sacks and needs three over the last two games for his fourth consecutive season in double figures. Bosa had 15 1/2 in 2021, 18 1/2 in 2022 (winning NFC Defensive Player of the Year) and 10 1/2 last season. First, Bosa is thinking about his eighth sack. “Just trying to get to the next one,” Bosa said. “But it would be cool.” — Defensive end Leonard Floyd has 8 1/2 sacks and needs 1 1/2 over the last two games to reach double figures for the second consecutive season and for the fourth time in his career. — Middle linebacker Fred Warner (117 tackles) needs 21 in his last two games to exceed his career high of 137 in 2021. Warner has exceeded 100 tackles in each of his seven seasons. — Purdy has 31 rushing first downs, three more than Colin Kaepernick had in 2013 and 2014.

Rock the Ugly Sweater Party With These Horrible Options

Repligen director Hunt sells $3.39 million in stockA s a sitting member of Congress, Matt Gaetz paid for sex with a 17-year-old high school student, used cocaine and ecstasy, and spent thousands of dollars on sex- and drug-fueled partying, according to a bombshell report from the House Ethics Committee. The report found “substantial evidence” the now-former Republican congressman “regularly” paid for sex and met women through a “sugar dating” website through a former associate who has since pleaded guilty to sex trafficking. The report determined Gaetz likely violated rules of conduct for the House of Representatives that prohibit “prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress.” Ethics committee members paint a damning portrait of a four-year span, in which Gaetz allegedly paid tens of thousands of dollars to young women for sex — a period when Gaetz emerged as a far-right bulldog for Donald Trump ’s agenda and a prominent figure in right-wing media. The president-elect named Gaetz as his first choice for the next U.S. attorney general, overseeing the Department of Justice as the nation’s top law enforcement official. Gaetz resigned from the House following that nomination, and then withdrew his name from consideration amid mounting scrutiny of the allegations at the center of the committee’s years-long investigation. The former congressman has since taken a job with One America News Network and hinted at another run for public office. He has vehemently denied allegations of wrongdoing. He filed a federal lawsuit against the committee to block the public release of its findings, which he claimed contained “defamatory information.” Shortly after he entered office in 2017, Gaetz and his associate Joel Greenberg attended a party where Gaetz “had sex with multiple women,” including a 17-year-old girl, who were paid, according to the report. Gaetz’s then-girlfriend also attended the party, which was allegedly at the home of Christopher Dorworth, a prominent lobbyist in Florida. Then-congressman Gaetz and the girl, identified as Victim A, “had sex twice during the party, including at least once in the presence of other party attendees.” Gaetz was 35 years old at the time. Victim A testified to the committee that she was “under the influence of ecstasy” and “recalled receiving $400 in cash” from Gaetz, “which she understood to be payment for sex” She did not disclose her age, nor did he ask. The committee did not find evidence that Gaetz was aware she was a minor. After later learning she was a minor, he maintained contact “less than [six] months” after she turned 18 year old, and then “met up with her again for commercial sex,” according to the report. When Greenberg was prosecuted for sex trafficking that same victim , Gaetz publicly stated that Victim A “doesn’t exist” and that he has not “had sex with a 17-year-old since I was 17,” the report noted. The committee found his statements “untrue” and his alleged actions “were in violation of Florida’s statutory rape law.” Gaetz “became friends” with Greenberg — who had recently taken office as a tax collector in Florida’s Seminole County — shortly after Gaetz was sworn into Congress in 2017, according to the report. Greenberg would contact women through SeekingArrangement.com — now Seeking.com — which had billed itself as a “sugar dating” website to connect financially well-off men with younger women for transactional relationships. Greenberg would show the website to Gaetz and give him his login credentials, and the men would then split the costs of “drugs, hotels and girls” they would invite to parties and travel destinations, according to the report. Gaetz would often pay women through PayPal and Venmo , as well as cash and with paper checks, or Greenberg would pay women to have sex with Gaetz, who then reimbursed Greenberg, the report found. Sometimes a lump sum would be sent to one woman, who would then distribute the cash to others who attended their parties, according to the report. The report lists payments totaling more than $90,000 to 12 different women between 2017 and 2020. Text messages obtained by the committee appear to show that Gaetz and the women understood the nature of the payments as transactions for sex. “Representative Gaetz did not appear to have negotiated specific payment amounts prior to engaging in sexual activity with the women he paid,” according to the report. “Instead, the women had a general expectation that they would typically receive some amount of money after each sexual encounter.” One woman told the committee Gaetz paid her more than $5,000 between 2018 and 2019, and “99 percent of the time that Gaetz and I] were hanging out, there was sex involved.” A 21-year-old woman Greenberg met on SeekingArrangement.com eventually became Gaetz’s girlfriend when he was 35. Their relationship continued for more than two years, though they were not exclusive; she “sometimes participated with him in sexual encounters with other women who were active on the website or otherwise involved in sex-for-money arrangements,” according to the report. She invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in response to several of the committee’s questions, including whether Gaetz had ever paid her for sex and if she was aware Gaetz had ever paid anyone for sex. “There is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz paid women for sex, and had others pay women for sex on his behalf,” the report concluded. “Nearly every young woman that the committee interviewed confirmed that she was paid for sex by, or on behalf of, Representative Gaetz.” While some women characterized their relationship as a “date-for-hire” arrangement where sex was not necessarily expected, Gaetz still spent “tens of thousands of dollars on other women with whom he had a shared understanding that they would be compensated for sexual activity with him,” according to the report. “There were potentially additional amounts spent on commercial sex that could not be specifically identified either because payments were made in cash or through intermediaries,” the committee added. “The Committee’s record thus indicates that Representative Gaetz enticed and procured women to engage in sexual activity for hire and purchased the services of women engaging in sexual activity for hire, in violation of Florida state law.” Text messages obtained by the committee include Gaetz’s requests for “a full compliment [sic] of party favors,” as well as “vitamins” or “rolls.” Greenberg asks one woman if she had ever done “molly,” while women testified that Gaetz routinely was under the influence of marijuana, cocaine or ecstasy. Gaetz sent one woman several hundred dollars to buy marijuana cartridges, while another woman said she and Gaetz’s then-girlfriend brought drugs on a trip to the Bahamas, the report found. Another woman said that she brought cocaine to at least one event with Gaetz and that she witnessed him taking cocaine or ecstasy on at least five occasions, according to the report. “Nearly every witness interviewed observed Representative Gaetz using marijuana,” the report stated. Greenberg also testified that he would typically provide drugs and Gaetz would pay him back in cash. All of the women interviewed by the committee said their sexual relationship with Gaetz was consensual, but at least one woman said the use of drugs at the parties they attended with him may have “[impaired their] ability to really know what was going on or fully consent.” “Indeed, nearly every woman that the Committee spoke with could not remember the details of at least one or more of the events they attended with Representative Gaetz and attributed that to drug or alcohol consumption,” according to the report. Women also testified to moments where Gaetz tried to convince them to have sex with him or Greenberg. Women described being made to “feel bad’ about not having sex with the men, and being asked to “make” them “happy.” Another woman said that their relationship at some point was a “loving friendship,” but over time came to feel like a “task,” according to the report. “When I look back on certain moments, I feel violated,” one woman said. “I think about it all the time. ... I still see him when I turn on the TV and there’s nothing anyone can do,” said another. “It’s frustrating to know I lived a reality that he denies.” In one instance, a 21-year-old woman who joined Greenberg and Gaetz at a Florida hotel, along with another 20-year-old woman Gaetz “regularly” paid for sex, had asked Gaetz for help with her tuition payments, according to messages included in the report. When she arrived to pick up the check in a hotel room, she found Greenberg and the 20-year-old woman, with the “expectation” of a “sexual encounter” in exchange, according to the report. “The four of them had sex and afterwards Representative Gaetz gave her a $750 check made out to cash with ‘tuition reimbursement’ in the memo line,” the report found. The 21-year-old woman told the committee she believed that the encounter “could potentially be a form of coercion because I really needed the money.” While the committee did not find evidence that Gaetz violated federal sex trafficking laws, the report noted that the youngest person who joined the Bahamas trip was 18 years old at the time, and that while his relationship with the women “involved an exploitative power imbalance, the Committee does not have reason to believe that he used force, fraud, or coercion as those terms apply under the applicable laws.” In early 2018, Greenberg paid a woman who had sex with Gaetz the night they met, according to the report. During that encounter, the woman told Gaetz she needed a new passport, and Gaetz connected her to his chief of staff, who then worked with the State Department to secure an appointment days later, the report found. She said the $1,000 she received from Greenberg was to “assist her with transportation costs to go to the Miami passport office from Orlando,” according to the report. The woman said she continued to meet with Gaetz for sex. The committee found evidence of Gaetz’s obstruction of the probe, pointing to his refusals to answer committee questions while publicly attacking the report and denying allegations that the committee was asking for information about. The committee also was investigating allegations that “Gaetz may have sought to tamper with witness testimony in connection with its investigation or the DOJ’s investigation.” Prosecutors “refused to provide a copy of an audio recording in which Representative Gaetz discussed the DOJ’s inquiry with one of the women he paid for sex,” according to the report. The committee “did not find documentary evidence that Representative Gaetz directly acted to prevent any woman from testifying” for either of those probes, but some women “cited a fear of retaliation from the congressman when declining to speak on the record with the Committee.” In 2021, Greenberg pleaded guilty to sex trafficking a minor, among other charges, and agreed to cooperate with the Justice Department in the “prosecutions of other persons, and to testify” in related proceedings, if necessary. He admitted to introducing a “minor to other adult men, who engaged in commercial sex acts” with her, according to a plea agreement. The Ethics Committee found “substantial evidence” that Gaetz violated state and federal laws and congressional rules surrounding prostitution and statutory rape, among other allegations, but investigators ultimately did not find that Gaetz violated a federal sex trafficking statute. “Although Representative Gaetz did cause the transportation of women across state lines for purposes of commercial sex, the Committee did not find evidence that any of those women were under 18 at the time of travel, nor did the Committee find sufficient evidence to conclude that the commercial sex acts were induced by force, fraud, or coercion,” the report concluded.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook a large area of Northern California on Thursday, knocking items of grocery store shelves, sending children scrambling under desks and prompting a brief tsunami warning for 5.3 million people along the U.S. West Coast. The quake struck at 10:44 a.m. west of Ferndale, a small city in coastal Humboldt County, about 130 miles (209 km) from the Oregon border, the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was felt as far south as San Francisco, some 270 miles (435 km) away, where residents felt a rolling motion for several seconds. It was followed by multiple smaller aftershocks. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injury. The tsunami warning was in effect for roughly an hour. It was issued shortly after the temblor struck and covered nearly 500 miles (805 km) of coastline, from the edge of California’s Monterey Bay north into Oregon. “It was a strong quake, our building shook, we’re fine but I have a mess to clean up right now,” said Julie Kreitzer, owner of Golden Gait Mercantile, a store packed with food, wares and souvenirs that is a main attraction in Ferndale. “We lost a lot of stuff. It’s probably worse than two years ago. I have to go, I have to try and salvage something for the holidays because it’s going to be a tough year,” Kreitzer said before hanging up. The region — known for its redwood forests, scenic mountains and the three-county Emerald Triangle’s legendary marijuana crop — was struck by a 6.4 magnitude quake in 2022 that left thousands of people without power and water. The northwest corner of California is the most seismically active part of the state since it’s where three tectonic plates meet, seismologist Lucy Jones said on the social media platform BlueSky. Shortly after the quake, phones in Northern California buzzed with the tsunami warning from the National Weather Service that said: “A series of powerful waves and strong currents may impact coasts near you. You are in danger. Get away from coastal waters. Move to high ground or inland now. Keep away from the coast until local officials say it is safe to return.” South of San Francisco in Santa Cruz, authorities cleared the main beach, taping off entrances with police tape. Numerous cities urged people to evacuate to higher ground as a precaution, including Eureka. “I thought my axles had fallen apart,” said Valerie Starkey, a Del Norte County supervisor representing Crescent City, a town of fewer than 6,000 about 66 miles (106 km) north of Eureka. “That’s what I was feeling ... ‘My axles are broken now.’ I did not realize it was an earthquake.” Gov. Gavin Newsom said he has signed off on a state of emergency declaration to quickly move state resources to impacted areas along the coast. State officials were concerned about damages in the northern part of the state, Newsom said. Crews in Eureka, the biggest city in the region, were assessing if there was any major damage from the quake, Eureka Mayor Kim Bergel said. Bergel, who works as a resource aid at a middle school, said lights were swaying and everyone got under desks. “The kids were so great and terrified. It seemed to go back and forth for quite a long time,” she said. Some children asked, “Can I call my mom?" The students were later sent home. In nearby Arcata, students and faculty were urged to shelter in place at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt. The campus in was not in the tsunami hazard zone and after inspections, “all utilities and building systems are normal and operational,” the university said in a statement. Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said residents experienced some cracks in their homes’ foundations, as well as broken glass and windows, but nothing severe. There also have been no major infrastructure problems, building collapses or roadway issues, and no major injuries or deaths have been reported, he said. Honsal said he was in his office in the 75-year-old courthouse in downtown Eureka when he felt the quake. “We’re used to it. It is known as ‘earthquake country’ up here,” he said. “It wasn’t a sharp jolt. It was a slow roller, but significant.” Michael Luna, owner of a Grocery Outlet in Eureka, said that besides a few items falling off shelves, the store on Commercial Street was unscathed by the earthquake. “We didn’t have any issues but a couple of deodorants fall off.... I think the way the earthquake rumbled this time, it was a good thing for our store because the last earthquake was a huge mess," he said. They evacuated customers and closed their doors temporarily until officials lifted the tsunami warning, he said, rushing off the phone to attend to a growing line of customers at check-out. The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District, known as BART, stopped traffic in all directions through the underwater tunnel between San Francisco and Oakland, and the San Francisco Zoo’s visitors were evacuated. Dave Snider, tsunami warning coordinator for the Tsunami Warning Center in Alaska, said the computer models indicated that this was the type of earthquake that was unlikely to cause a tsunami and gauges that monitor waves then confirmed it, so forecasters canceled the warning. This quake was a strike-slip type of temblor that shifts more horizontally and is less prone to cause tsunamis, unlike the more vertical types, said National Weather Service tsunami program manager Corina Allen in Washington state. The California Geological Survey says the state’s shores have been struck by more than 150 tsunamis since 1800, and while most were minor, some have been destructive and deadly. On March 28, 1964, a tsunami triggered by a powerful earthquake in Alaska smashed into Crescent City hours later. Much of the business district was leveled and a dozen people were killed. More recently, a tsunami from a 2011 earthquake in Japan caused about $100 million in damages along the California coast, much of it in Crescent City. Dazio reported from Los Angeles.

Outgoing LA Councilmember Paul Krekorian to help region prep for Olympics and more in new role

US ski star Mikaela Shiffrin said Wednesday that she's "starting to feel a little bit more human" after suffering a puncture wound in a giant slalom crash but confirmed she won't race at Beaver Creek, Colorado, this month. "This is another fairly ambiguous injury and really hard to put a timeline of when I'll be either back on snow or back to racing," Shiffrin said in a video posted on social media. "But I do know that I will not be starting in Beaver Creek." Shiffrin had already said after Saturday's crash she didn't expect to be ready for the Colorado races, a downhill on December 14 and a super-G on December 15. On Wednesday, she said that whatever object caused the puncture in her abdomen also left "tore a cavern" in her oblique muscles. She said she had also undergone further testing to check for possible damage to her colon. "There were some air bubbles where the puncture came pretty close to the colon," she said. "Last night's check confirmed that my colon is, indeed, intact." Shiffrin was closing in on a once unimaginable 100th World Cup victory when she crashed in the second leg of the giant slalom at Killington, Vermont, on Saturday. She hit one gate and tumbled through another before sliding into the catch fencing and was taken from the hill on a sled. She won't miss any races this weekend because the two women's giant slaloms scheduled for Tremblant, Canada, were cancelled because of lack of snow. However, Shiffrin said she would be sorry not to resume her bid for a 100th World Cup win on the circuit's next US stop. "This is a really big bummer, not to be able to race Birds of Prey," Shiffrin said. "But on the other hand I was really lucky and I'm really looking forward to cheering my teammates on racing Beaver Creek." In 2023, Shiffrin broke Ingemar Stenmark's record of 86 World Cup wins, a mark once considered unassailable.

GIS introduces ‘Immigration 360’ to automate passenger processing and data management

India is mourning the loss of its former prime minister Manmohan Singh, who passed away on December 26, 2024, at the age of 92. As the nation pays tribute to the iconic leader, many are wondering if tomorrow will be a holiday. Given Singh's immense contributions to India's economic growth and development, it's only fitting that the nation takes a moment to reflect on his legacy. He played a crucial role in guiding the country through the 1991 economic crisis and introduced reforms that liberalised India's economy, making it more competitive on the global stage. His leadership and vision transformed India into a major economic power, and his legacy continues to inspire future generations. As the nation mourns the loss of this beloved leader, many are taking to social media to pay their respects and share their memories of Singh. The hashtag #RIPManmohanSingh is trending on Twitter, with many users sharing stories and anecdotes about his life and legacy. Meanwhile, the Google search term ‘is tomorrow a holiday’ started to trend after the news. However, there is no official news from the central government regarding the national holiday in honour of death of former prime minister Manmohan Singh.

This announcement comes after the nation was shaken by the news of his passing.

As traditional pensions become increasingly rare, individuals are finding themselves more reliant on 401(k) plans and other investment vehicles that are subject to the unpredictable nature of the stock market. This shift has profound implications for financial security in retirement. Historically, many retirees enjoyed the security of pensions, which provided a steady stream of guaranteed income for life. However, as Ron Roberts points out, many companies have phased out these pension plans in favor of 401(k) plans. While 401(k)s offer certain advantages, they also come with inherent risks. The value of these accounts can fluctuate dramatically based on market conditions, leaving retirees vulnerable to economic downturns. When individuals rely on 401(k) plans, they are essentially placing their financial future in the hands of the stock market. Ron illustrates this through a real-life example of a retiree who had diligently contributed to his 401(k) but faced a devastating loss during the 2008 recession. This individual lost half of his account overnight, forcing him to return to work to make up for the lost income. Such scenarios highlight the risks associated with market-dependent retirement plans, where fluctuations can lead to significant financial stress and uncertainty. Given the volatility of the stock market, having a guaranteed source of income in retirement is essential. Ron emphasizes that retirees need income they can count on-similar to the security once provided by pensions. Guaranteed income allows retirees to cover their expenses and enjoy their retirement years without the constant worry of market fluctuations affecting their financial stability. To mitigate the risks associated with market dependency, individuals should consider strategies that provide guaranteed income. One effective approach involves rolling over existing 401(k) funds into guaranteed income products, such as annuities. These financial instruments can offer both protection against market losses and a reliable income stream. Ron explains that legal reserve companies, which back these annuities, have been in business for over a century and are regulated to ensure the protection of principal. This means that regardless of market conditions, retirees can count on their income remaining stable. Additionally, many of these products feature annual resets that lock in growth, providing a safeguard against losses while allowing for potential gains. Ron explained: " T oday, we have indexes that not only are matching inflation, but are exceeding inflation. And we now have indexes that are paying double digits now and you will need double digit returns to maintain your standard of living to maintain the inflation growth." In conclusion, as traditional pensions become less common and individuals increasingly rely on 401(k) plans, the need for guaranteed retirement income has never been more critical. By understanding the risks associated with market fluctuations and exploring options for guaranteed income, retirees can achieve greater financial security and peace of mind in their golden years. The strategies discussed by Ron Roberts offer valuable insights into how individuals can prepare for a stable and fulfilling retirement, free from the stress of economic uncertainty.
