According to the 2026 TIAA Institute / GFLEC P-Fin Index, Americans struggled most with concepts that require understanding #risk, future outcomes, and financial protection. They performed best on basic borrowing and investing concepts.

The topics Americans missed most often:

Insurance — Only 27% answered correctly. This was the worst-performing category.
Many people do not understand how to evaluate insurance options, manage risk, or determine appropriate coverage.
This is concerning because insurance is one of the primary tools households use to protect wealth.

Comprehending Risk — 37% correct. Most Americans struggle with understanding investment risk and risk-reward tradeoffs.
This directly impacts retirement planning and portfolio construction.

Probability / Expected Value — 46% correct. Less than half could correctly evaluate probabilistic outcomes.
This is particularly relevant in investing, options trading, sports betting, and financial decision-making.

Inflation — 48% correct. More than half of Americans still do not fully understand how inflation erodes purchasing power.
Given the #inflation shocks of the 2020s, this result surprised many researchers.

What Americans got right most often:
Borrowing / Debt — 68% correct. Best-performing category.
Most people understand the basics of loans and borrowing costs.

Saving — 63% correct. Americans generally understand the mechanics of saving money and earning interest.

Investing — 61% correct. A majority understood basic investing concepts.
However, understanding dropped sharply when questions moved into risk assessment and probability.

Compound Interest — 60% correct. Most respondents understood that debt and investments compound over time.

The broader takeaway is fascinating:
Americans understand financial products they use every day, credit cards, loans, savings accounts, and basic investing. They struggle when decisions require evaluating uncertainty, probabilities, insurance protection, and risk management.
For investors, that may be the most important finding. Markets are fundamentally exercises in probability and risk management. Yet those are the exact areas where Americans scored the lowest.

America's financial literacy just hit a 10-year low, with adults correctly answering only 47% of basic money questions. Yet most Americans still believe they are financially savvy. That's the paradox of the modern market: information has never been more accessible, but understanding has never been more scarce. In an era of social media finance and 24/7 market commentary, investors aren't suffering from a lack of information, they're suffering from a lack of signal. The next great divide in wealth creation may not be access to capital, but the ability to separate knowledge from noise. Data from: https://t.co/rG7xL962Rr

🚨 WAR INTEL TURNED INTO MILLIONS

Nine anonymous Polymarket accounts pocketed $2.4M across 80+ bets on Iran war outcomes, many placed at long odds right before pivotal events.

Analysts say the pattern is statistically impossible without inside knowledge. Federal investigators are now probing oil market trades too.

Geopolitical tensions with Xi Jinping and Trump could spark a chipset crisis. Diversifying computer equipment is a smart move, with some stocks already up 37%. Production issues at Samsung are also impacting Micron. #Chipset #Geopolitics #Tech @qmbigbeat @cryptohondo
