Investors can no longer rely solely on computer-simulated allocations or robo-advisors that use algorithms to direct allocations. The current economic environment requires ongoing monitoring of changes to an investor's needs and the external environment.

In Bonfire of the Sanities, author and retirement advisor David Wright outlines the unfolding economic landscape and the increasing regulatory changes to teach you how to

• identify the various paths available for retirement investments,
• implement risk-limiting tools to protect yourself from sudden surprises,
• recognize new initiatives or regulations early and take advantage of them,
• control what you can and actively watch your finances, and
• find the correct professional to oversee retirement portfolios or implement risk-limiting tools to take advantage of high-potential investments while protecting your accounts.

Investors must be vigilant to recognize shifts, more so now than ever before, and actively manage their portfolios to avoid losses and recognize opportunities.
