      <description>Powell at Harvard 3/30/26 on fat tails; Wapner on CNBC 3/30/26 calling it the 60/40's worst month since 2022.

Bond ladders may better address sequence-of-returns risk than diversified bond funds during distribution; Bengen's 4% rule depended on bonds doing their job.</description>
