But hold on. More financial advice, rather than less, may be necessary. In the long-term, the economy ebbs and flows with generational changes. People spend money differently as they age, and that affects the stock market. Purchases that fuel the basic consumer economy such as durable goods, clothes and houses could drop, along with the earnings of a lot of companies.
Technology is another wildcard.
Different technologies, now still in their infancy, may profoundly change the way you live, the economy and the operations of the stock market itself. They are here, if only in what investors will later see as their early evolutionary stages. Some things in the immediate future can be foreseen. Just finding the right investment will be more difficult. Stocks, bonds and mutual funds have been around for a long time and there's no reason to believe they will disappear, but the creativity of the financial services industries is sometimes awesome, and how you invest may change as new securities are invented.
