Why has Invesco’s QQQ called me 24 times in the past few weeks? Is it a scam? There’s a proxy vote to change the fund, and the calls will keep coming until the matter is settled.

Back at my day job MarketWatch. Explaining why QQQ might be desperately calling you. Have they? Did you vote to stop the calls?

Essay | My Mother’s Illness Changed the Way I Think About Financial Planning As a personal finance expert, I give advice on how to maximize wealth. At the end of my mother’s life, I realized there’s a more important question: What is our money for?

Not much financial planning is geared toward how to take care of other people and how to make it possible for them to care for you. My goal now is to prevent my kids from being left with only bad, expensive choices when it comes to caring for me @bethpinsker.bsky.social 🎁
