If all else fails, blame the sluggish economy on demographics
Plus: European activists hedge funds are nicer, Soros gets it all wrong, and crowdfunding for dummies
- You know you’re out of logical options when somebody claims that demographics is the reason stocks are yielding more than bonds.

- Crowdfunding is not going away and financial advisers who don’t get it will quickly fall behind. Here’s some help to get you up to speed. Take the crash course.
