I'm Still Betting on the Zimbabwean Dollar

By Jeffrey Goldberg
Loyal Atlantic reader Adrian Harsten points out a flaw in my personal financial management:

Jeffrey,
 
If your 401k is pegged to the Zimbabwean dollar and you're only up 12% this year, then you've got serious problems. Shouldn't it be up like 4000%?
 
I'm thinking we must have the same financial advisor.
