Since the launch of Pokemon Go just a few short weeks ago, the mobile app has taken the world by storm. We wanted to understand more about this phenomenon, specifically in the U.S., so we turned to the data to see if we could make sense of why Pokemon Go has become an overnight sensation.

Did you know that health care is the number one target, nearly as much as retail, finance, and banking combined, for identity theft and fraud? Your health information is important to you and your health care provider. But in the wrong hands, it can be valuable to someone else. Would you know if someone stole your medical identity?

     What economists call an ability to make "compensating differences" is a valuable tool in everyone's arsenal. If people are prohibited from doing so, they are always worse off. You say, "Williams, I never heard of compensating differences. What are they?"

Killing Innovation Doesn't Improve Access to Drugs
By Joseph P. Allen

In developing countries, roughly one in three people lack dependable access to "essential" medicines -- a category that includes everything from ibuprofen to HIV/AIDS treatments.

The United Nations hopes to address this global crisis through its High-Level Panel on Access to Medicines, which is expected to issue recommendations in the coming weeks. Unfortunately, the panel seems on track to do more harm than good.

Dear Dave,

My wife and I are 31 years old, and we have no debt except for our home. We also have an emergency fund and college savings in place for the kids. Over the last several months we’ve saved $22,000 for a newer car, but we’re also worried about retirement. We’ve been putting 15 percent of our income toward retirement, and we’re concerned that maybe we shouldn’t spend the whole $22,000 on a car. We make around $100,000 annually and have $50,000 in our nest egg. What do you think, Dave?

Dear Brandon,

Dear Dave,

I’m a recently retired widow, and my husband always took care of most of our finances. We never had any debt, but after starting to learn a little bit about how money works, I’m worried that there may be too much of it invested in CDs (certificates of deposit). The total nest egg is a little over $1.5 million, with $300,000 of that in CDs. There’s also a $317,000 annuity, a 403(b) and around $900,000 in IRA mutual funds. I also have two homes and a new car that are paid for. How do you think I should handle things going forward?
