Opinion Today: How to prepare for an aging America

The country needs an honest national conversation about the future.

By Meeta Agrawal

Special Projects Editor, Opinion

After I had kids, my parents — retired, kind beyond words — started spending more time with us in New York City to help out. They coached us through our baby's first bath, kept me company on long stroller walks, pushed the swing at the park higher and higher and higher.

But as my kids grew older, so did they. When those morning strolls turned into high-speed morning school runs, I saw my parents hesitate at intersections, anxious in the face of cars and motorcycles shooting out unpredictably into the crosswalk. They eventually stopped joining us. They started to notice with new eyes the hazards of uneven, poorly maintained sidewalks where bikes and scooters were constantly underfoot. Eventually, there was a fall. Surgery. Physical therapy. So many appointments. Even with the most flexible jobs, understanding colleagues and full-time child care, it was tricky to support them through it all. Take away one of those supports and the equation becomes unsolvable.

We have all either muscled through the challenges of supporting loved ones as they age or watched someone close to us deal with them. And it is, in the United States, largely a predicament that falls on individual families.

But the demographics of this country are heading for a tipping point. While the United States has historically been a young nation, by the year 2034 there will be more older Americans than children. Who will offer future generations a hand over uneven sidewalks and at doctor's appointments?

It's time for us to have an honest national conversation about aging. And that's just what we're hoping to kick-start with a new project from Times Opinion, "Can America Age Gracefully?" We ask: What would it look like if we treated aging as a national issue instead of an individual one? What if we started trying to solve the pain points of aging on a societal level? What do we want old age in America to look like?

Through several pieces, we explore what we see as some of the most pressing issues of an aging nation: how to set ourselves up to be a country of caregivers, how to rethink housing for a population that would like to age at home, how to update the infrastructure of our cities and towns and how to encourage entrepreneurs to see the opportunity in this shift. And, to offer a different lens on aging, we asked 13 renowned photographers to share what growing older has looked like for them.

So many of the solutions we outline would help not only older Americans but also everyone else. Because one important way Americans can age gracefully is to recognize that older people still have an abundance to contribute, and that our communities are immeasurably enhanced by having them remain integrated, not walled off. And an important part of an honest national conversation about aging is recognizing that, with any luck, all of us, one day, will join their ranks.

How To Trade As Indexes Slide

 

While it looked like tech might break from the other two big indexes yesterday ultimately it couldn't find its footing. But there are a few signs that are signaling a much bigger slide. Keith Harwood took us on a quick tour of the markets to help us get beneath the headlines and look for the signals that tell the truth.

The “other” index, the Russell, shows that small caps are very vulnerable and that cold be the beginning of the erosion. Even more interesting was the indicator's indicator that gave a huge red flag. Take a look as he shows a tool you may not even know existed.

 

There is a ton of opportunity if this becomes a clear trend but it is always great to have a pro like Keith spotlight some ways to get prepared and offer approaches for the conservative and speculative traders.

We'll be following up with Keith to see how this all plays out so keep an eye on your inbox.

Keep learning and trade wisely,

You should always consult with your own professional advisers regarding equities and options on equities trading.

2. TradeWins' Services are not a solicitation or offer to buy or sell any financial products, and the Services are not intended to provide money management advice or services.

3. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Trading and investing involve substantial risk. Trading on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Other than the refund policy detailed elsewhere, TradeWins does not make any guarantee or other promise as to any results that may be obtained from using the Services. No person subscribing for the Services ("Subscriber") should make any investment decision without first consulting his or her own personal financial adviser, broker or consultant.

4. You should trade or invest only "risk capital" money you can afford to lose. Trading stocks and stock options involves high risk and you can lose the entire principal amount invested or more.

5. All investments carry risk and all trading decisions made by a person remain the responsibility of that person. There is no guarantee that systems, indicators, or trading signals will result in profits or that they will not produce losses. Subscribers should fully understand all risks associated with any kind of trading or investing before engaging in such activities.

6. Some profit examples are based on hypothetical or simulated trading. This means the trades are not actual trades and instead are hypothetical trades based on real market prices at the time the recommendation is disseminated. No actual money is invested, nor are any trades executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees. Because the trades underlying these examples have not actually been executed, the results may understate or overstate the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading services in general are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, which may not be relevant to actual trading. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. TradeWins makes no representations or warranties that any account will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown.

7. No representation is being made that you will achieve profits or the same results as any person providing testimonial. No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have experienced losses.

8. The author experiences are not typical. The author is an experienced investor and your results will vary depending on risk tolerance, amount of risk capital utilized, size of trading position and other factors. Certain Subscribers may modify the author methods, or modify or ignore the rules or risk parameters, and any such actions are taken entirely at the Subscriber's own election and for the Subscriber's own risk.
