H/T Dataroma

On May 12, 2016, Ron and Jeff Muhlenkamp presented How Retirement Has Changed—Why Saving More and Working Longer will be Necessary. In this video of Muhlenkamp & Company’s Investment Seminar, you will hear Ron address how the retirement plans of individuals and institutions have changed due to low GDP growth, productivity, and interest rates—what was thought to be temporary has lasted longer than expected, with no end in sight. The assumptions made while making retirement plans and decisions ten years ago are now obsolete. Jeff summarizes the implications for investors of every age and disposition.
