"TriMet's 401(k)-type plan on the screen behind him and said that, outside the federal government's Thrift Savings Plan, this was "the best I've ever seen."

"Earlier this year, at a financial literacy conference for teachers, renowned investment author William Bernstein paid a Portland employer a nice compliment. And not just any Portland employer.

Bernstein projected TriMet's 401(k)-type plan on the screen behind him and said that, outside the federal government's Thrift Savings Plan, this was "the best I've ever seen."

This was high praise coming from the author of "Intelligent Asset Allocator" and other books on investing (including, most recently, a self-published e-book for young investors called "If You Can: How Millenials Can Get Rich Slowly")."
