What Is the Size of the Average Retirement Nest Egg?
What is the size of the average retirement nest egg? A 2019 analysis of more than 30 million retirement accounts by Fidelity Investments found that the average balance in corporate-sponsored 401(k) plans at the end of 2018 was $95,600. As you might expect, young workers tend to have less money saved for retirement than older workers do, in part because their salaries are usually lower and they haven't had as many years to contribute to their retirement accounts.

Fidelity to Baby Boomers: Lay Off the Stocks
Boomers, or the generation born between 1944 and 1964, have been riding a 10-year bull market into retirement, steadily upping bets on stocks to boost 401(k) returns and exposing them to unnecessary risk.

It's no secret that the overall cannabis market has been going through a correction, with many of the well-known names like Canopy Growth (CGC) and Aurora Cannabis (ACB) getting hammered. Of the three companies covered in this article, Cresco Labs is projected to be the industry leader for revenue in 2020, although it also comes with the caveat of needing to close its deal with Origin House to achieve its projected sales numbers.

Real Estate Tycoon Buys Up Oil Assets At Rock Bottom Prices
Sam Zell, the real estate mogul, has acquired oil assets across the United States at 'fire-sale' prices, as U.S. drillers sell assets to raise cash which is scarce in the oil patch these days, the billionaire told Bloomberg TV in an interview on Thursday. Zell, founder and chairman of Equity Group Investments, has bought assets of oil companies in Texas, Colorado, and California at advantageous prices because firms are increasingly looking to have cash buffers, anticipating potential further slowdown in drilling and cash available to the oil sector. “The amount of capital available in the oil patch is disappearing,” Zell told Bloomberg, comparing the U.S. oil industry now with the early-1990s real estate sector when no one had cash and there were empty real estates everywhere.
