Look Beyond the Tech Giants
I am hooked on a podcast called Acquired, in which two smart guys do a deep analytical dive, typically lasting three or four hours, on a single successful company such as Coca-Cola or Trader Joe's. Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal, a pair of venture capitalists, are especially adept at explaining what's behind the success of such tech giants as Alphabet (symbol GOOGL, $320), the former Google, which recently merited 11 hours and 42 minutes of dialogue all by itself.

Your Questions, My Thoughts
Fixed-income markets remain in a tight price and yield range, dividend stocks are steady, and real estate investment trusts are calm. Although oil prices are low, energy funds and partnerships maintain ample payouts. So, I have nothing actionable to say about the big picture, mindful that conditions can change in a flash.

How to Pay for Long-Term Care
A couple of months ago, I wrote that many Americans significantly underestimate how long they could live in retirement (see “Living in Retirement,” Dec.). With the possibility of a 30-year retirement becoming more common, retirees need to plan for so-called longevity risk to make sure their assets last a lifetime. And the longer you live, the more likely you'll need to pay for some form of long-term care. That can range from assistance with activities of daily living to in-home care to a nursing home stay.
