Command Your Financial Future: Strategies for Unruly Markets
November 26, 2013 | Topics: Investing for Income, Fixed Income, Equities
When markets misbehave, investors can easily lose their composure and sense of direction. But allowing your emotions to rule your decision-making is tantamount to giving up your authority over your financial future.
Staying grounded and retaking the reins is critical. "Absent the conviction to pursue returns, individuals will not have the financial resources to pay for their increasingly longer lives," says BlackRock Chairman and CEO Larry Fink, who has publicly advocated for retirement reforms that will help all Americans prepare for that most universal of financial goals.
In this issue, we offer three time-tested pieces of investing advice that apply now as always, and four ideas to help you prepare your portfolio for the current investment climate.
- Invest with your head, not your stomach
- Focus on time "in," not timing.
- Double down on diversification.
- Rebuild your bond strategy.
- Use global, flexible strategies.
- Dive into dividends.
- Develop your portfolio with developing markets.
We encourage you to work with your financial professional to rebuild your portfolio, and your confidence, for the new world of investing. You may find that cool heads not only prevail – they also can profit.

BlackRockEmerging markets have been the dominant growth story of the past generation. As the cycle evolves, so must the investment approach. The BlackRock Global Allocation team offers five thoughts for investing in emerging markets today.

* That's the return notched by the S&P 500 Index from its March 2009 low through October 2013. Skittish investors who left the market amid the turmoil missed out on an enormous rebuild. For perspective, the index lost just 43% amid the height of the crisis—so investors who stayed the course recouped their losses handily. Read about strategies for investing amid volatility.
† That's the sum of investor assets that have fled equity mutual funds over the past five years. Consider the irony of thatwhen juxtaposed with the 132% equity market return recorded since the depths of the market downturn. Is it too late to "stock up"? We say "no." Read about it.
‡ That represents the percentage of international assets held in the average U.S. investor portfolio today. Considering that non-U.S. companies make up 54% of the world's market cap, that's an underallocation of roughly 50%. If you're shying away from international markets, ask yourself why. Then read up on the opportunity beyond U.S. borders.
Stock and bond values fluctuate in price so the value of your investment can go down depending on market conditions. International investing involves special risks including, but not limited to currency fluctuations, illiquidity and volatility. These risks may be heightened for investments in emerging markets. Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. There may be less information available on the financial condition of issuers of municipal securities than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. A portion of the income may be taxable. Some investors may be subject to Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable. Non-investment-grade debt securities (high-yield/junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations, risk of default or loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. Asset allocation strategies do not assure profit and do not protect against loss.

Why is the creep allowed to drive around with a suspended license? and a warrant for his arrest? What are the police around here doing? With all the technology out there now why couldn't they find him and put him where he belongs. Now we have a death of an innocent person who was out for a walk. It is our lax laws in this state and liberal judges who run the courts. Now the taxpayers get to keep this invidual incarcerated at great public expense for the rest of his life probably. Great way to go California as we circle the drain.

The idea is simple: just plug in your ZIP code, the size of your dwelling, and how much you're paying, and Rentometer will cross-check your price with local property listings pulled in from parent company iiProperty. Results show up on two screens, one that's a little bit like a speedometer, and another that's simply a Google Map with nearby property listings.

That's why I had to explain in the parenthetical.
According to CBS sports Matt Garzra is on pace to get 330 strikeouts and Alfonso Soriano is on pace to hit 64 Home Runs this year.
if sori hits 10 hrs in may…i swear ill tatoo his name on my ass…. and put bleachernation.com in parenthesis
All last season Soriano did not hit one opposite field homerun, he has two this season. I'm not saying that's why he's hitting so well, but it does look like he is waiting back on pitches and not trying to pull everything out of the stadium. I really hope he keeps this up until someone else starts hitting for some power or driving in some runs.
Soriano has a .278 OBP. Yes, TWO SEVENTY EIGHT!
I dont care how many solo-shots (8) or dingers he has off DiamondBack pitching (5 – with three coming against Galarraga alone), a .278 OBP is unbelievably unacceptable for a Major League Starter.
And all this "omg, he's soooo amazing" swooning people are doing over his homers is absolutely driving me up the walls – I know chicks dig the long ball, but come on; you're men for Gods sake!!!
Given the dearth of power (which, lady-love aside, is an important part of the game) among the rest of the team, I think it's worth getting excited about. Nobody is celebrating his deficiencies.
Im not saying that Soriano is playing great, I just think that it is interesting that of all the players on the cubs he is leading the team in homer runs, i never thought i would see that happen.

Barrett – 9Why would you ever question Soriano's ability to lead the team in Homers when he has either lead (3 times) or been within 1 HR of the leader (1 time) each and every season he has been here outside the fluke 2009 Lee total?
If anything, I would say it would be shocking it he wasnt leading the club; or at least close to it. Its exactly what Soriano has always done – hit a bunch of solo homers and almost nothing else…
this is true, but I was not expecting him to hit this many home runs so early in the season, let alone the fact that I thought he was going to be terrible this season. I should have been more specific.

Hot Topic – It's time to tax all annuity agents
About the Trust Project
As financial advisors, you are able to help many Americans plan for a secure retirement. But in order to successfully advise your clients, you first need to earn their trust.
Clients report that honesty and trust are the most important traits they look for in financial advisors, and yet nearly half of investors say their trust in financial services declined in the past year. The financial services industry needs to address this crisis in trust.
The Trust Project serves as the trust handbook for financial advisors. The project provides analysis of how trust works in the advisor-client relationship, steps for building trust with clients, and methods to ensure that a trusting relationship lasts. Additionally, our Ethics Center addresses the importance of ethics in financial services and provides guidance for the ethical advisor.
The Trust Project includes articles, blogs and interviews with industry experts, all of which provide useful tools and concrete steps for you to use to build trust in your own practice.

This Meeting Is Boring: Ejector Seat Chairs
How many times have you sat through a boring meeting wishing you had an ejector seat that could blast you through the ceiling and into the women's restroom on the floor above? Never? Well I wish that all the time. Anyways, if you're the 'top gun' in your office (I'm actually cutting myself for saying that) let everyone know with a genuine ejector seat from a B-52 Stratofortress. Available from MotoArt for an undisclosed amount of money, you can get either an upward or downward ejecting model (this one is a downer) used on the two decks of the plane. Unfortunately the firing mechanism is absent, so you'll have to pack your own fireworks under the chair for effect. "This meeting sucks. Oh shit, I've been hit by a boredom bogey! BAIL BAIL BAIL!! PPSSSHHOOOOW!!!!!!!!" (this is when you light the fireworks and run for the door while it's smoky).

Expensive audio equipment is easier to recommend than most other high-priced technology. A cutting-edge smartphone feels like an anachronism 5 years later, but a pair of expensive speakers is likely to be just as good 20 years from now.
The Samsung DA-E750 audio dock seems to straddle both worlds: it's a speaker with a high-end feel, but its built-in tech isn't likely to be as relevant a decade from now. Both AirPlay and Bluetooth are supported, plus there's a retractable dock on the back that supports iOS devices (including the iPad), Samsung Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S3 phones, and the Samsung Galaxy Note "phablet." It's by far the best-looking wireless audio speaker I've tested, with a lush cherrywood finish, tastefully accented by a pair of glowing vacuum tubes beneath a circular topside window.
If you're willing to invest $700 in an audio dock, there's nothing that looks this nice and offers nearly as many connectivity options. And the sound quality is good, although it's not the best-sounding AirPlay speaker on the market; that would be the slightly less expensive B&W Zeppelin Air. The Samsung DA-E750 isn't a good value -- you can do better for your money -- but if you want the most luxurious-looking audio dock with a great set of features, this is it.
The DA-E750 looks gorgeous in photos and it manages to be just as impressive in person. That distinction is notable for Samsung, which has often made products with visually stunning design that fall short when you get the product in your hand. Our review sample has a beautiful cherrywood finish (it's also available in black) that lives up to the descriptor of "furniture-grade." Every CNET editor that laid hands on the DA-E750 was impressed with the craftsmanship, even after I revealed the price. In terms of style, there's really no contest between the DA-E750 and the plastic cabinets of competing luxury audio docks like the B&W Zeppelin Air and Bose SoundDock 10.
The sonic benefits of the built-in tubes may be negligible, but they certainly work as a visual effect. A pair of ECC82 vacuum tubes are sheltered under a glass window, which provides one of the ways of knowing the DA-E750 is on. Unnecessary blinking lights can be an nuisance with electronics, but the soft, steady glow of the DA-E750's tubes was warm and far from annoying. If you don't need the novelty of the tubes, or the fancy wood finish, Samsung offers several much more affordable docks with plainer looks.
Next to the tubes is the control panel on the DA-E750, where you can adjust the volume, play/pause connected devices, and toggle between inputs/devices. It also doubles as a basic display, with various icons letting you know what device the DA-E750 is playing from. The plastic control panel doesn't quite live up to the luxurious quality of the rest of the speaker, as it feels like it could have been ripped from one of Samsung's home-theater-in-a-box systems. It's a minor blemish, but at $700 it's fair to nitpick.
As nice as the DA-E750 is, the included remote seems like it belongs to a different (cheaper) product. It's hollow plastic, with a faux-metallic look that comes off as chintzy, especially sitting next to the speaker. At least the buttons are arranged well, although they could stand out a bit more. But I can let the cheap remote slide, since you'll most likely be controlling the DA-E750 with your smartphone or tablet.
An AirPlay speaker with a striking design would be enough for many, but the DA-E750 goes above and beyond with its extensive feature set.

Gwinnett Daily Post
BUFORD — A faulty tag light led to a traffic stop and a pair of arrests Tuesday, as Gwinnett County police officers said they discovered more than 450 grams of marijuana in the out-of-state vehicle.
Officers pulled the Ford Crown Victoria with South Carolina tags over on Interstate 85 northbound in Buford just before 11:30 p.m. Monday, police reports said. Noticing "two open bottles of Corona," a strong odor of marijuana and a number of air fresheners in the vehicle, officers asked to search it. Underneath the spare tire in the trunk, police reportedly found a white plastic bag. Mixed in with dirty laundry they said they found two separate bags, both containing marijuana. Still packaged, the pot weighed about 460 grams, police said, the equivalent of about a pound. The driver, 23-year-old Marcus Jerell Watts, and passenger, 23-year-old Calvin Daniel Walker, were both arrested on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Both booking sheets list addresses in Clinton, S.C.More like this story

Move over mortgages, there's a new growing threat to the economy. Student loans.
Americans owe $870 billion in student loans and the number is still growing. That's higher than all outstanding credit card and auto loans in the U.S.
Chanise Harris is a music performance major at VCU. To pay for school the Chester native had to take out government loans. "I really try not to think about it," said Harris. "I'll cross that bridge when I get there I guess."
She's talking about the thousands of dollars in debt piling up and hanging over her head once she graduates.
"I know like a lot of people would be like why would I pay all that money or get in debt so much when I could just go ahead and work," said Harris.
According to the Project on Student Debt, two-thirds of college seniors graduated with loans in 2010. Take a look at some of the project's research on 4-year public institutions in Virginia.
"Yeah, that surprises me a lot," said Harris. "I mean I know that it was going to be a substantial chunk but that's just a lot."
The National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys warns the student loan debt numbers could be a ticking time bomb for the a weakened US economy.
NBC12 education specialist Dr. Bill Bosher worries for many student loan debt will be a lifelong commitment.
"It is a lot of debt and it's been growing. and that's part of the problem the trend is moving in a bad direction," said Bosher. He points out for places like Harvard and Williams students typically leave with less than $10,000 in debt. "If you're capable go to the most expensive school that you can because you'll likely come out with less debt. The end of the story should be let's find a way to either contain the cost for young people who are going to school or ways to help them."
Bosher says this is especially true when students are graduating in a time of high unemployment. If a student decides to go to grad school, their average student debt after graduation jumps to around $90,000.

i cant seem to find the rock chart for the next saturday the 21st it says that K! Video of the week during this time is there something wrong
LostALone - Love Will Eat You Alive. Amazing song, deserves to be #1!
Lostalone - love will eats you alive is the best song from 2012 so far so it's kinda strange that the song is on 3 and not on 1, needs to get at one, it just needs to
Lostalone needs to get at one, it's the best single from 2012 so far so get it on 1 please :)
LostAlone, yeah! They deserve to be number one, though. ;)
lostalone, yeah! such a brilliant song, it'd look great on number one. ;)
LOSTALONE - Love Will Eat You Alive is a great tune! Great video too. Nice to see it in at number 3!
LostAlone AND twin Atlantic - I like this chart!
Youmeatsix, KIGH, Nickelback, Subways, We are the in crowd and pretty much most bands there - this chart proves Kerrang has become utter shite.
@love Boat Amen to that!
All good except for lost prophetshits,kids in shit houses and youmeatshit.
@ Sarah - your wit is genius. How you managed to mock a bands name by replacing a word with a naught word is amazing.
Good to see Marilyn Manson in there at No.4!
Awesome! Manson at No.4! No Reflection is fantastic.
Where's FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND - BROKEN FOUNDATION ????
I like this chart and I love how lostalone is up near the top with a great song!
aw, Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife should be 1st :C

I am building a tripod to hold our 55 gallon barrel size pinhole cameras to photograph the art of Burning Man.
I am part of the Pinhole Project at Burning Man. We photograph the art at Burning Man using pinhole cameras the size of 55 gal barrels. I am building a tripod to hold the cameras that was inspired from a ski lift tower pulley. I have been throwing around ways to hold our cameras, but traditional designs did not suit the need. I am building two spoked wheels with an axel between the two - the lift tower pulleys are the hubs of the wheel. The cameras can be attached to the the wheels and allow rotation of the cameras in two different planes. As I write, I am finalizing the drawings for the CNC plasma cutter and will start production this weekend. I am an architect by trade and have a good skill set to pull this off. Thanks for your support. Below are some images of the design.

Well-Kept Boat
Please come back tomorrow and vote again
Well-Kept Boat
Best Solutions For The Long Run: Marine-grade Soap and Polish - The advantage of a marine-grade soap is that it removes oxidation and chalk while leaving behind a protective polymer coating. A marine-specific polish seals the surface, bounces off harmful ultraviolet rays and also applies a protective coat. Boat Wax - Use a synthetic wax that blends with UV protectants to repel water and reduce fading. They're easy to apply: Spray on, wipe dry. Drying Skin - We use a soft product called The Absorber on our boats and cars. It pulls more liquid off surfaces than a towel, with less wringing. There's no fuzz or threads to come loose either. The Perfect Pole - This long pole from Swobbit holds a variety of cleaning attachments and has a patented "no look" tracking system for foolproof adjustments.

Petition to Oppose the Love Creek RV Resort and Campground
Petition Summary: Jack Lingo Assest Management Company is seeking approval from the Sussex County officials to change the zoning of a 162 acre property near Cedar Grove Road and Ward Road in Lewes to allow construction of the Love Creek RV Resort and Campground. The proposed development calls for building 451 sites for recreational vehicles, 149 sites for rental cabins and 20 more for tents, and will be open from March to November. The plans for the property also detail extensive amenities including an amphitheater, clubhouse, dock bar, swimming pools, laundry center, general store, paddle boat launches, pumping station and RV storage.
But many people have raised serious concerns related to the scope and impact of the proposed development. They fear the project will result in dangerous road conditions, increased pollution, excessive noise, environmental damage and decrease property values for current tax-paying homeowners. They've concluded that the development is inconsistent with the surrounding communities, would irreparably harm the natural environment and is unfair to local residents.
Action Petitioned For: We the undersigned are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now and vote Against amending the comprehensive Zoning Map (C/Z# 1725) and Against granting a Conditional Use of Land for an RV Campground (C/U #1951) as requested by Jack Lingo Asset Management for the Love Creek RV and Resort Campground site.

Global institutional investors are still significantly under-allocated on Asia but the situation is steadily being addressed, according to Max Gottschalk, the firm's Asia head, who relocated to Hong Kong early this year from Europe. "Many global institutions investing in hedge funds are looking to increase their allocations to Asian hedge funds and that is exactly what has been happening since the beginning of the year where we have seen allocations from some of the biggest pension and sovereign institutions."...

The undergraduate major in neuroscience is now in its thirteenth year. Officially established in the 1992-93 academic year after several years of planning and developing by the UCLA College Neuroscience Group, its majors now number approximately three hundred students. Through its continually growing list of course offerings, it now serves a total of over six hundred students a year. The goal of the major is to provide an undergraduate introduction to the study of the nervous system at all levels of analysis. This concept is embodied in the core of the curriculum, the year-long series "Neuroscience: From Molecules to Mind." The courses in this series, as well as others in the major, emphasize critical thinking and analysis, and an introduction to laboratory research. Students are encouraged to complete an independent research project in a faculty member's laboratory and present their work in the annual Neuroscience Undergraduate Poster Session. Students also have the option to complete a Neuroscience Laboratory course, which provides hands-on experience with important methodology and experimental approaches in neuroscience. Additionally, the major requires a Neuroanatomy Laboratory, taught by the 1997 Luckman Distinguished Teaching Award winner, Arnold Scheibel, M.D., of the Department of Neurobiology. This interdisciplinary major avails itself of the wealth of neuroscience resources at UCLA, and receives teaching contributions from Physiological Science, Psychology, and Molecular, Cell & Developmental Biology in the College of Letters and Science, and Anesthesiology, Biological Chemistry, Neurobiology, Neurology, Physiology, Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, Medicine, and the Brain Research Institute in the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. In total, over sixty faculty from the College of Letters and Science and the School of Medicine participate in the major. Their enthusiasm and generosity have been essential to the success of this program. To date, there nearly 300 students enrolled in the program, and 807 Bachelor of Science degrees in neuroscience have been awarded since 1994.

Hello and welcome to the UK Channel News blog. My name is Mark A'Bear and I've recently joined Adobe as UK Education Manager. Some of you will probably know me from my time at Microsoft, but for those that don't here's a brief potted history of my background.
- 13 years at Microsoft
- 5 years in Microsoft Consulting Services
- 8 years in the UK Education team with responsibility for partner relationships and strategy
My philosophy is that partners are crucial to the success of organisations such as Adobe. We don't have the direct sales resources to sell into a breadth market such as UK Education and consequently our success is directly tied to your success as our partners. At Microsoft my approach was to identify and in some cases, make market opportunities that partners could take advantage of. In recent years the UK Education market has matured rapidlywith knowledgeable customers that are much more solution orientated. Cloud computing is a growing trend and education customers are now much more prepared to consider service provision in place of on-premise infrastructure. As a result the world is changing. My role at Adobe is to help partners understand the market dynamics, adapt to them and grow their businesses as a result.
The purpose of this blog is to provide Adobe partners with content that is specific to Education and consolidated from a variety of sources to save you time and effort. Typically I would expect blog posts to include information on:
- Products
- Solutions
- Sales and technical training
- Marketing opportunities
- Partner and customer events
- Sales resources such as case studies, battlecards, demos
- Education market information
- Government education initiatives e.g. Academies, University funding
- Promotions
Let me know what else would be helpful by sending me comments.
I'd also be grateful if the blog could be passed onto colleagues to increase readership and make the effort of keeping this up-to-date worthwhile. I'll look forward to your feedback.

I have an external USB DVD drive which I can mount successfully with sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
. The trouble is the mount seems to fail when I change disks, and it gets really confused if I put a music CD in.
I've installed usbmount
and rebooted but apart from creating /media/usb[0-7]
it has had no effect at all. If I unplug and replug the drive (with a standard data DVD in it) nothing happens.
Is it possible to set it up so that any disc which is inserted is automatically mounted on /media/cdrom
, so that my network share which points to that path will always see the disk in the drive?
It also seems to me that it's impossible to mount the drive if there is no disk in it, since there isn't a volume to mount. Is it possible to get round this, so Ubuntu is 'aware' of the drive and will mount a disk whenever it is inserted (even if there wasn't one there on boot)?
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm running Ubuntu Server.

Studying Beehives, Not Bees. Virtual Worlds Policy Analysis
Controlled experimentation is the most powerful tool known to humankind for discovering facts about the real world. However, it has mainly been utilized only in the natural sciences and not the social sciences, which urgently needs to better understand what is really happening in social systems. Policy analysts suffer more than anyone. Every year, another major policy is enacted without any clear idea of how it will change the world.
This talk will explore the possibility of using virtual worlds employing scale, engagement, and longevity to bring controlled experiments to policy analysis which studies societies of people. With virtual experimental environments, we can discover truths about the social world of human beings which, at the moment, seems to be the site where everything is breaking down and where we need insight most desperately.
