AI didn't ask permission to reshape your retirement

January 17, 2026   |   Read Online Here's something most people don't realize: The algorithms controlling today's markets aren't just faster than human traders. They're operating on logic I helped create years ago. I didn't set out to make retirement harder for millions of Americans. But that's exactly what happened when these systems scaled. Now they dominate short-term market movement. They compress volatility into windows too narrow for most retirement strategies to handle. And they don't care about your timeline. That's the reality you're competing against — whether you realize it or not. That's why I'm hosting the 2026 Retirement Roadkill Briefing on Wednesday, January 21st at 1PM ET — and Don Kaufman will be joining me live. I'm going to show you exactly how I'm thinking about this, and how I've positioned my own capital in response. I'm going to show you: Why traditional "safe" strategies are quietly becoming more dangerous Where retirement risk actually lives in the AI era How I've positioned my own capital in response to these structural changes This isn't theory. It's not hype. It's me showing you the same analysis I use for my own retirement positioning.
