The market's calmer waters In this still-young year offer a welcome refuge from 2011's nerve-racking sea of volatility, but the bad memories linger. Just look at the poor average results in the semi-annual Barron's-Zacks ranking of Wall Street brokers' stock-focus lists.
For the second consecutive ranking, the average return of the recommendation lists trailed the stock market—this time badly.
With dividends included, the S&P 500 index, which frequently saw daily swings of 1% or more in the half, lost 3.7% in the half. In that same period, the brokers' focus lists—which contain what the firms consider their best stock ideas—did significantly worse, down 6% on average. Ouch! They underperformed for the year, too.
In the four periods covered, Wedbush surfed to three gold medals, McAdams Wright to one. Gary Hovland for Barron's
The results are broadly consistent with previous rankings. Over the years, the Barron's-Zacks survey has shown that the average focus-list return tends to exceed the market's during bull runs, as was the case in 2009 and 2010. However, the mean return typically trails the S&P 500 in bear cycles or in herky-jerky markets, as was the case for much of 2011, when the market actually finished little changed. Unfortunately, that's just when investors need good ideas the most.
Every six months, Barron's and Zacks rank the stock picks of a number of America's brokers—some of them big-name banks like Morgan Stanley ms 0.22516183506895582% Morgan Stanley U.S.: NYSE USD35.61 0.08 0.22516183506895582% /Date(1416850412713-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2006503 P/E Ratio 13.87109375 Market Cap 69546524569.8206 Dividend Yield 1.1264432554210082% Rev. per Employee 755619 More quote details and news » (ticker: MS), but others little-known nationally, like McAdams Wright Ragen. (For a more detailed description of how we evaluate the results, see "Behind the Lists" at the end of this article.)
What did in the brokers as a group—though some did much better than others—was the market's singular concern last year with macroeconomic factors, such as the U.S. economy and the European debt crisis. It was tough for many brokerage firms to show their stock-picking skills when equity correlations were so high that most stocks moved in unison up and down, according to whether the "risk off" or "risk on" trade was dominant. For the market, company fundamentals took a back seat in the second half, and it shows.
Nevertheless, as always, there were winners and losers in the four periods our evaluation covers. This contest marks the arrival of the West Coast crew, if you will, dominated as it was by two regional brokers far away from Wall Street.
Los Angeles-based Wedbush Securities surfed to top honors by wide margins over the six, 12 and 36 months ended Dec. 31, 2011.
McAdams Wright, based in Seattle, won the five-year contest, doubling up the second-place finisher. A strong five-year performance is notable because that means a broker has done well over a lengthy period. In this case, the significance is amplified because the period included both 2008's terrible bear market and the strong 2009-2010 bull market. McAdams Wright, a small regional broker with a relatively narrow base of analysts—should take a deep bow. Indeed, this broker has consistently punched above its weight over the past three years.
Besides our winners, good performances were also turned in by Morgan Keegan, another regional broker and one that has often been at or near the top of this survey for many years. The Memphis-based firm, which is being sold to Raymond James Financial rjf -0.14247551202137132% Raymond James Financial Inc.

Honorable mention also goes to St. Louis-based Edward Jones, a consistent proponent of a conservative buy-and-hold strategy involving large-cap, dividend-paying, quality stocks. Unsurprisingly, whenever the "risk off" trade made itself felt last year—which was often—that helped Edward Jones, which took third in the six-month contest and was second for all of 2011.
Showing that fortunes can reverse quickly, discount broker Charles Schwab schw 0.1768033946251768% Charles Schwab Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD28.33 0.05 0.1768033946251768% /Date(1416850422430-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1705205 P/E Ratio 30.06382978723404 Market Cap 36927149431.7567 Dividend Yield 0.8492569002123143% Rev. per Employee 434638 More quote details and news » (SCHW) brought up the rear in the six-month contest. Schwab's performance represents a first-to-worst fall—a drastic shift that in recent contests has become less uncommon. Wedbush, for example, has had similar position changes (more on that below). In our previous contest, Schwab had scored a double victory, being first over both six and 12 months.
The other cellar-dwellers this time around were New Constructs for 12 months, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney for 36 months and Schwab again for 60.
The impact on the brokers' lists of last year's high correlation among stocks is confirmed in Zacks' analysis. Says Zacks equity strategist Tracey Ryniec, almost apologetically: "Usually, there is something that distinguishes the winners and losers by stock sectors. This time, there isn't. There's nothing sector-specific."
That said, any focus list with a large overweighting in financial stocks at just about any time in the past five years was likely penalized. The S&P 500 financials sector slid by two-thirds in the 60 months ended 2011. But financials have been among the top performers in 2012.
Wedbush's head of equities, Sheri Kaiserman, says that the key to success last year for its "Best Ideas" list was an aggressive addition of stocks in the teeth of the August-September downdraft. The brokerage added HealthSpring (HS), which subsequently rose 46%, thanks to a takeover offer by Cigna ci -0.009786651008025053% Cigna Corp.

Only Clean Harbors remains on Wedbush's list.
In the three-year contest, Wedbush was helped by a general absence of those ugly financial stocks. Effectively, it was addition by subtraction.
To some extent, Wedbush also benefits from having a smaller list, typically, just 12 to 15 names. This means that just one or two big scores can significantly push up returns. But those who live by the sword can also die by the sword, and only a couple of bad picks can sink a short list. Regular readers of this survey might remember that, over the years, Wedbush has often been at the top or the bottom of the rankings, and rarely in the middle.

McAdams, like Wedbush, has a small list, typically just 20 names.
Elkan Scheidt, chairman of Morgan Keegan's focus-list committee, ascribes the firm's strong showing over three and five years to its multicap approach and a low level of financial stocks.
Edward Jones has a 40-to-60-name focus list that goes for high-quality companies with good and regularly increasing dividends. Last year "was our sweet spot," says Dave Powers, the St. Louis firm's director of equity research, because such stocks were often in favor.
In contrast, Charles Schwab had a tough time in 2011's last six months, finishing last. Its 100-name list looks for cheap stocks with improving fundamentals and market momentum, but when the "risk off" trade hit, its picks were hurt, says its director of equity ratings, Greg Forsythe. Particularly damaging was the third quarter, during which stocks were moving almost in unison on macro factors. "Where we saw value, the market saw market-exposed and economically sensitive stocks," Forsythe laments.
A spokeswoman for Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, which finished last in the three-year ranking, says it looks for high-quality, defensive names, which were not in demand in 2009-2010.
As for New Constructs, the worst performer in the second half of 2011, a spokesman says, "It was very much a momentum-investor's market," and the momentum for some of its picks went in the wrong direction.
Behind the Lists
Chicago-based Zacks Investment Research compiles the data and then scores the brokers by keeping a running tally of each focus list for various periods over the past five years. In tracking brokers' best ideas, Zacks puts a stock in a theoretical portfolio when the broker adds it to its focus list, and takes it out when the broker removes it. While similar in intent, these lists differ in significant ways. For example, some are updated at regular intervals, but others can be changed at any time.
The sizes of most lists are flexible. Many include 20 to 40 names, but some, like Charles Schwab's, can run to 100. The smaller the list, the more exposed it is to one or two stellar or disastrous picks. With big lists, individual picks matter less, but it's tougher to beat the index because each stock is a smaller percentage of the portfolio. Some of our participants focus on large caps and others small- and mid-cap stocks, which over long periods tend to outperform big-caps.
Additionally, Zacks ranks the brokers' picks on an equal-weighted basis, while the Standard & Poor's 500 is weighted according to its components' market capitalization. As a result, brokers' results aren't strictly comparable to the S&P 500's. In order to help readers get a better perspective on relative performance, our tables show the S&P returns on an equal-weighted basis as well.

P&O steams back into calmer waters
Wednesday 29 March 1995
Apart from a few continuing laggards like European transport services and bulk shipping, all divisions increased profits last year.
It has been a long, hard slog to reach this stage.
With plenty of late-cycle operations such as construction and bulk shipping, it was always going to take a while for Lord Sterling to get the P&O liner steaming again.
It is therefore ironic that the shares peaked nearly a year ago at 732p and are now languishing at 582p, down 9p yesterday.
What has been depressing P&O's share price is the Channel Tunnel effect, as investors anticipate the impact on P&O's dominance of the cross-Channel ferry market.
Yesterday's figures will give some comfort to those looking ahead to the long-delayed build-up to a full service through the tunnel late this summer.
Ferries were last year's star performer for P&O. Operating profits from the division powered from £76.5m to £114m, providing the main stimulus to group operating profits up from £396m to £477m.
That is clearly both a strength and a weakness, as Eurotunnel inevitably takes market share. P&O's control of the Dover-Calais route has already slipped a bit from last year's 60 per cent for cars and 53 per cent for freight in the early months of 1995. But the continuing problems at Eurotunnel are clearly putting back the day when the ferries have to meet the full blast of competition, allowing the booming market - currently growing at between 15 and 20 per cent - to take up the slack.
Meanwhile, cruise ships - where profits roared from £85.6m to £100m - and containers, £63.2m compared with £42m before, continue to forge ahead.
On forecasts of around £375m for the current year, the shares stand on a prospective price/earnings ratio of 14.
The possibility of a bid for Costain and dollar worries could restrain the shares in the short term, but they are well- supported on a yield of 6.6 per cent and Channel Tunnel concerns are now surely all in the price.

Too Many Morons In The World
Is it libellous to call somebody a moron? How about a tosser of the highest order? A ball wart on the tick bit scrotum of humanity? A dung-fed louse squashed on the shit-smeared heel of a dribbling eunuch too mentally slow to even zip up his own fly? The gnawing offspring of brain mites hatched in warped cranium of a scabietic circus freak known as Walter the Bat-Faced Boy?
The advantage of Google web traffic dropping off this week is the certainty that I can post this picture and make these comments without the moron who drives this car actually seeing this post. Not that I feel too bad about posting the picture or for my pointing out that the driver clearly shares a few too many genes with their current partner. I don't even know why I've bothered to pixelate the number plate except I have some old fashioned notions or right and wrong. And who knows what forms of retribution a person might display when they have this level of cretinism?
Am I being unfair? I hope I am. Unfairness and words seem to be the only powers I have when not a single policeman, traffic warden or council official would be inclined to do anything about the arseholes who casually block our streets. Because, I can assure you that although this was the worst example of the kind I saw today, this photo is just one of a dozen I could have taken. I also know what response I'd receive if I made a complaint. The police say they 'try to be sympathetic to drivers' and it's 'really a council matter'. The council also try to be try to be 'sympathetic to drivers' and say it's 'a police matter'. In other words, both the police and council are full of pavement parkers and there but for the grace of a wide driveway go they.
I also know that I write from the 'privileged' position of not being a driver. I don't drive and I've never wanted to drive. I always tell people 'too expensive' or 'never had the chance' but the truth is harder to explain. It's hard to describe how I have enough trouble dealing with the world without finding my myself flying down a motorway and suddenly becoming hyper aware of my existence and experiencing some mode of existential panic. And when I'm miles away thinking of some of my usual nonsense, I am prone such moments. More prone, I would say, than your average meth drinker or weed junkie. I think it's probably better if I'm not in control of a couple of tonne of steel and airbags when I suddenly begin to doubt reality.
Yet even though I don't drive, I can honestly say with my hand on my heart that if I did have a car, I would never ever park it across the pavement. It's that old fashioned morality, you see, along with the belief that you'd really have to be one of evolution's greater regressions to lack the basic understand of how pavements work. Of course, these dimwits might argue that the road was too narrow to have cars parked on both sides of the street (true). They might argue that they have a right to park outside their own home (wrong). They might even say that somebody could just squeeze through (wrong), walk on the other side of the road (true), or even walk in the road (true). They might even say that this kind of parking doesn't really affect people like me (almost true). But what special permission do they have that allows them to force the old and infirm into the road? What right do they have to make mothers with prams and infants stray into busy roads just so these lazy bastards don't have to walk more than three feet to their car?
Anybody who walks any distance in the day knows the feeling of having to squeeze past cars, often pushing through overhanging bushes, of trying to dodge traffic should you have to venture out into the road… It's even worse when there are (often) muddy grass verges to navigate before you even get to the road because some moron has parked their nose of their car in their drive, blocking the entire pavement and kerb.
I'm not so unfair as to say that I'd shoot every pavement parker on sight. I think they should face a judge of last appeal before they ever reach that stage. Let them have one, two, or even three warnings before we demonstrate how fast moving steel tipped objects can injure mere flesh and bone. But if these pavement parkers continue to act like the selfish arsehole they are, then their contributions to the greater good would not be missed. Perhaps we could just stand them in the middle of fast moving traffic and let them experience the fear that pedestrians feel when faced down by cars and trucks. Perhaps then we can cram just one crumb of understanding into their dense Neolithic skulls.

Last alternate OK'd for auditorium with split vote by board
Stoner, Franz vote against sound equipment alternate
Kari Williams
Staff Reporter
May 29, 2013 -
Despite some members questioning the need, the Mehlville Board of Education voted 5-2 last week to approve the last alternate — upgraded sound equipment — for the district's $6 million auditorium.
Board President Mark Stoner and board Secretary Rich Franz were opposed.
The sound equipment — originally projected to cost $71,200 — totaled $66,200 and includes: loudspeakers, $12,800; audio mixing, $11,500; wireless microphones, $11,300; and a telemonitoring system, $30,600. Funding for the sound equipment will come from roughly $18,000 in soil contingency and part of the roughly $250,000 owner contingency.
With the approval of the third alternate, the project retains an owner contingency of roughly $200,000. The first alternates — a connecting corridor and gypsum board — were approved in January.
Stoner said he voted against upgrading the sound equipment because he viewed it "truly" as an alternate.
"I thought it would be best to exercise, I guess, a privilege to say no to some extra monies being spent in that area," Stoner said. "I still fully support the auditorium. And I fully support what's going on. I just didn't view it as an absolute necessity, and short-term or long-term, I think that the system would have been adequate as is — maybe not the Cadillac of the system, but adequate."
Board Vice President Lori Trakas said the auditorium will be a "great addition" to the district. But she questioned whether spending $66,000 for upgraded sound equipment is really "a necessity" or whether the funds go toward other district needs.
"... One part of our district's going to get a great benefit of the auditorium, but what about some of the people around the district in other areas?" Trakas asked. "And lastly is it even worth looking at ... some of the Prop P items because really that's where the money came from was the refinance of Prop P. So in good faith, did we do all those facility upgrades for that money, too? ..."
Proposition P was a $68 million bond issue voters approved in November 2000 to fund a districtwide building improvement program.
Superintendent Eric Knost said that unlike most construction projects in which the cost is determined first, district officials faced the challenge of constructing the auditorium within the $6 million available from the refinancing of the bond-like Prop P certificates.
"The commitment was to build an auditorium for $6 million. We're belaboring an issue here. We're doing that," Knost said. "We're doing that with the specs that we originally planned, and right now I feel like smacking myself for ever trying to pull alternate bids out because I'm being punished for it. I'm being punished for staying in budget with a strategy that has worked very well."
Franz said, "... I feel like in one sense you told us this stuff is adequate and now you're coming back and you're saying well, we changed our mind and it's not. And so ultimately the question I have is, 'Hmm, who told us in the first place it was adequate? Did somebody lie to us? Did somebody tell us that so we would approve the contract?' That's what I'm wondering."
The lower-grade equipment a 24 channel sound mixer, wired microphones and no telemonitoring system does not, according to Knost, meet the specifications of what the district "felt the auditorium needed."
"... We are within budget. We are building the auditorium that we said we would from the get-go," Knost said. "We strategically created alternate bids that would produce acceptable, yet lower-grade situations ... But we don't need to do that.
"We can build it to the full specs within budget, and that's what we're doing by adding these alternates on there. It was never a question of whether these alternates were adequate ...," he added.
Board member Elaine Powers said when the board approved the initial bid, the items pulled out as alternates were included in original drawings.
"... It was merely a financial consideration just in case that if there had to be a downgrade, this is where it would be," Powers said. "... The original drawings show what we are being asked to approve tonight ..."
Franz said, "... So someone never intended to install what we originally voted on? Is that what you're saying?"
Powers said, "No. I am saying this was presented to us fairly and accurately, and you trying to twist it around is inappropriate. Were you not at this meeting when we approved this, Rich?"
Franz said, "Yeah, yeah."
Powers said, "Do you recall anything about the conversation?"
Franz said, "I think I do, but that's not what I'm hearing now."
Powers asked, "What do you recall? What do you recall?"
Franz said, "I recall that we approved the contract with basic equipment for the inside of the building ... as set forth in the specifications."
Powers said, "Do you recall the discussion about the alternates? Did you take a note that said everything in these alternates is shown in the drawings, and it is our intent to do this unless we run into some overruns someplace else. It is our intent to do this right. It is our intent to do this well ..."
Franz said, "I do not recall a conversation where we said we intend to upgrade the equipment as specified."
Powers said, "... The word 'upgrade,' I think, is what the confusion is here. It is doing what's right as opposed to taking the cheap way out."
Franz later emphasized the connecting corridor, the gypsum board and the sound system being discussed by the board were "alternates."
"... They're not required and you've already said twice, maybe three times, that what's specified is adequate. That's my only point," he said.
Director of Facilities Steve Habeck said what drove district officials to build the auditorium in the first place was low construction cost, which the district is still experiencing.
"If we look at upgrading two or three years down the road, it's not out of the question we could pay $90(,000) to $100,000 for the same equipment ..," Habeck said.
Board member Ron Fedorchak said he wants to complete the auditorium the "right way" and take a "long-term view" on the project.
"The new (auditorium) is going to be the only one in the district. Let's do it right," Fedorchak said. "Let's not look like the boards of the past that didn't have the foresight to finish a project the right way."
Additionally, board member Kathleen Eardley said approving the upgraded equipment is a "future cost-savings."
"You've got to look at your long-term strategy," Eardley said. "We don't want to come back and have to re-do this in a few years. We want to put something in that's going to last."

Natural Resources Canada says the magnitude 4.2 quake hit just before 3 a.m. Eastern time just east of Matane, Que., on the Gaspe peninsula.
Spokesperson Catherine Woodgold says there are no reports of damage and none is expected because of the relatively small size of the quake.

Info for fans ahead of Saturday's game
Brighton & Hove Albion are looking forward to welcoming Wolves and their supporters for their first-ever visit to the Amex tomorrow for the final league match of the season.
We appreciate for some clubs there is a tradition to come onto the pitch at the final whistle, but we would respectfully request that neither home or away fans attempt to come onto the pitch at the final whistle this Saturday – as we have a play-off semi-final and other fixtures taking place at the stadium.
Turnstiles open at 10.45am – two hours before kick-off and we will be serving our usual range of food and beverages, including our famous award-winning Piglet's Pantry pies.
Kiosks will also be open after the final whistle, for those wishing to stay behind for a drink, while our north stand concourse will be hosting a Soul Party, and a live band will be playing in Dick's Bar.
Our full travel service (full details are here) is in operation for the match, with the trains, buses and park-and-ride included in the match-ticket package.
For those travelling by train, you only need to buy a ticket to and from Haywards Heath (your match ticket will cover the other part of your journey to Brighton Station and then the connection to Falmer Station).
There is car parking available for away supporters, just a few minutes' walk from the stadium, but it must be pre-booked via Brighton & Hove Albion's customer services team on 0845 873 0251.
There is also a free park-and-ride service to all ticket holders. Full details can be found here.
*Wolves have sold out of their allocation for Saturday's game and fans without tickets are urged not to travel to the Amex Stadium.

The late Neal Horton is widely credited as being a visionary who saw the potential in Bricktown long before it became the state's premier urban entertainment district.
Diner to anchor development on Classen Boulevard
Now, a group of developers say another Horton vision from 40 years ago – one that suggested the greater downtown area would span west to Classen Boulevard – is also set to become a reality.
David Wanzer and Ben Sellers, who bought the former B.F. Goodrich tire shop at 916 NW 6 earlier this year for $1 million, are set to begin a redevelopment that will include a breakfast and lunch diner to be operated by the owners of the S&B Burger chain.
"We started looking at it about five months ago," Wanzer said. "It was a building I had driven past many times. I drive down Classen every day. It has great lines, a 1960s garage, and it sits on the west edge of Midtown and downtown. It has potential to be something special."
Those "great lines" inspired the designs by Butzer Gardner Architects, which turns the former garage bays into storefronts and uses steel structures to extend the building's presence at the corner of NW 6 and Classen Boulevard.
"The magic is in all the simple moves," Butzer said. "It's very typical of what we see in Austin — you use simple shades and a steel structure to pull it out and engage the sidewalk. You give it scale, depth and make it inviting. It's really simple place making."
Shanon Roper, along with S&B Burgers partner Bryan Neel and Aly Branstetter, are set to open as the building's first tenant, a 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. breakfast and lunch diner, by late autumn.
"We've been looking for a diner to eat in, so we're going to make it," Roper joked. "We want homemade, fresh from scratch to the table, made in Oklahoma, locally produced food."

Labour MP Tom Harris has the details on his blog, however Guido wants to clarify one point. When Andy Burnham referred in the Commons debate to Guido's unexpected support for the Bill (see previous They'll Have to Prise the Keyboard Out of Guido's Cold Dead Hand), it was of course support only in jest – and incidentally a breach of confidence by Burnham, since this was a jest made in a supposedly off-the-record consultation in his offices, following his request for a meeting.
Since this blog is hosted offshore, published by an offshore company and written by a foreign citizen, it won't really make any difference to Guido – unless Britain invades Ireland again. You can't regulate Guido, ask Mrs Fawkes…
The trustafarian anti-capitalists having taken quite a beating in last few matches in the City:
The 1999 Carnival Against Capitalism saw an estimated 5,000 people converge on the London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE). In the early afternoon a small group of protesters broke into the exchange building, smashed up the reception area and tried to access the LIFFE trading floor, but were repelled by LIFFE traders in hand-to-hand fighting on the escalators. Outraged floor traders counter-attacked and drove terrified protestors out of the building.
However, the 2005 match saw the anti-capitalists take their worst beating so far. This post match report from The Times gives a flavour:
WHEN 35 Greenpeace protesters stormed the International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) yesterday they had planned the operation in great detail. What they were not prepared for was the post-prandial aggression of oil traders who kicked and punched them back on to the pavement. "We bit off more than we could chew. They were just Cockney barrow boy spivs. Total thugs," one protester said, rubbing his bruised skull. "I've never seen anyone less amenable to listening to our point of view."
Another said: "I took on a Texan Swat team at Esso last year and they were angels compared with this lot." Behind him, on the balcony of the pub opposite the IPE, a bleary-eyed trader, pint in hand, yelled: "Sod off, Swampy."
Protesters conceded that mounting the operation after lunch may not have been the best plan. "The violence was instant," Jon Beresford, 39, an electrical engineer from Nottingham, said. They were set upon by traders, most of whom were under the age of 25. "They were kicking and punching men and women indiscriminately," a photographer said. "It was really ugly, but Greenpeace did not fight back."
Mr Beresford said: "They followed the guys into the lobby and kept kicking and punching them there. They literally kicked them on to the pavement." Last night Greenpeace said two protesters were in hospital, one with a suspected broken jaw, the other with concussion.
G20 protestors really do not want to meet a Lloyd's Broker who has just had his gin and tonic spilt…
UPDATE : Am a bit worried that Miss Fawkes, aged 1 and 1/2, could be an anti-capitalist saboteur. Have just spent an hour searching for wallet hidden by her. Hmm…
Guido is going to be at the Bank of England at midday tomorrow, well not actually at the Bank, more overlooking the Bank. Having lunch at No. 1 Poultry and will probably be smoking a cigar on the balcony later, twanging his braces and proudly standing in his pinstripes after lunch. A select few capitalist co-conspirators will be there. Maybe Guido will see you in the bar. Guido will be the one shouting "Greed is Good" at the demonstrators below…
Some valiant counter-demonstrators will be taking the battle to the G20 unwashed. Guido would stay for the riot, but has to see his accountant in the afternoon.
Guido has had a call round the centre-right think-tanks and found that traditional support for sound money policies is now non-existent. Even the Institute of Economic Affairs' shadow MPC unanimously supports quantitative easing.
The IEA is London's spiritual home of Friedrich von Hayek and Milton Friedman, and it was the IEA which in the middle of the 1976 global monetary crisis produced a pamphlet by Hayek; Denationalisation of Money. Guido has an original edition, it was in this groundbreaking work that Hayek argued that the government monopoly of money must be abolished to stop recurring bouts of inflation and deflation. How he must be turning in his grave to see the IEA advocate what he spent his life opposing.
Sound money was the traditional cry of conservatives the world over, Cameron even used the phrase in his speech to the Conservative Party conference as recently as last year. It is clear however that Osborne and Cameron have, in the face of a wider intellectual retreat, given up on sound money and are going along with quantitative easing – a mistake as momentous as their acceptance of Gordon's spending levels. In all of Westminster's Wonkland surveyed by Guido, only Madsen Pirie of the Adam Smith Institute is opposed to QE (also known as printing money). Policy Exchange's newly hired chief economist, Andrew Lilico, told Guido there was no other choice. Lilico also told Guido that if QE was successful inflation and interest rates would be as low as 10% each in a couple of years – some success.
So Guido is looking forward to James Tyler's speech tonight at Policy Exchange. Little known outside the City's money markets – in which he is one of the largest and most invisible players – he is going to sound the cry for sound money in terms that Hayek would approve. All is not lost – Russian and Chinese economic policy makers have read their Hayek – and are said to be preparing to propose a new, more Hayekian monetary order after this credit crisis has abated. Sometimes it takes a crisis to precipitate a solution…
Just for the record, since the Guardian is trying to make something of it. Guido is satisfied that BBC Radio 5′s Nicky Campbell meant nothing malicious and it was a bit of early morning banter that went a bit too far. Campbell apologised on air there and then and later in person. His apology is accepted.
It is indicative of the BBC mindset that it is often the case that Guido is pigeon-holed by way of introduction, in contrast when say Will Hutton is on the BBC, he is not introduced as "the left-wing commentator". This is not the first time this has happened. When Michael Crick referred to Guido as "the right-wing blogger" the immediate retort was to refer to "Michael Crick, the left-wing broadcaster". See how you like them apples…
Following a party thrown by Eric Pickles a drunken fracas took place – inquiring minds want to know who got nicked and had to sober up in the cells? Been there, done that, got the t-shirt…
UPDATE : Paul Waugh has the full story.
Guido is one of the small number of British market commentators who does not buy into the deflation scenario – Liam Halligan is another – it is just too convenient an excuse for politicians to print money.
The Bank of England pension fund is managed on behalf of a very select and savvy group of people with access to a lot of market insight – the employees of the central bank. With great market timing the fund sold out of equities entirely at the end of 2006 cutting a 21.6% holding down to 0.1%, thus avoiding a 35% drop in UK equities since that time. Awesome market timing, the fund was consequently up 12% last year when all around markets crashed.
The fund's holding of Index Linked Gilts has shot up from 25.6% of assets to a 70.7% proportion of assets during the same period. That is a big bet of the pension pot owned by everyone who works at the Bank of England. Index Linked Gilts are linked to RPI – the inflation rate – you buy them if you are worried about inflation. They are a hedge against inflation.
Hold on, if deflation is (as the political elite and their client media commentators claim) the big threat, why is the Bank of England's pension fund betting 3/5 of the £2.2 billion pot on hedging against inflation? This is their personal pension fund. Money talks.

Of course if they didn't keep it secret from us – the people who pay the bills – there wouldn't be anything to sell. So release the receipts now…
UPDATE : Newsnight just flashed a trailer for a claim that the receipts are being offered to newspapers for £300,000 – uncensored.

In the second half of Fantastic Fest the tone changes a little bit. There are a few secret screenings that pop up, the other films get their second showings, and the crowd migrates from industry folks to more fan based. I use the second half to pick up odd films that I missed in the first half and have good word of mouth. I also caught a secret screening so let's start with that.
The Green Inferno<>>
After a six year hiatus Eli Roth is back with another gory feature
romp, this time through the Amazon rainforest. This was a secret screening at
Fantastic Fest with Eli himself in attendance. The film is beautiful with some
of the best rainforest photography I�ve seen since Medicine Man. In some
respects I found the story to be an extension of the earlier Hostel films.
Again we have a group of young twenty-something�s that run afoul in a foreign
land with bloody results. There is plenty of mayhem to watch and overall I would
call this film Roth�s best since Cabin Fever.<>>
Greatful Dead<>>
Every year Fantastic Fest needs at least one really good,
over the top, sexual, violent, funny film from Japan. This year the film with
the best show of all those elements is Greatful Dead. The movie is about a
young woman who is ignored throughout her whole childhood so she resorts to
some rather extreme measures to get attention. The female lead has a great
presence and personality that helps carry the movie. It sounds like Dead is
pretty early in its festival run, it�s a small budget film that�s not even
opening in Japan until next year. There may be quite a wait for a US release
but it is definitely worth seeing. <>>
Ragnarok is great fun for a couple reasons. First off it
addresses a lot of Viking history and mythology. Second, the popular sentiment
around the festival was that this film was reminiscent of early Spielberg films
and it�s true. You can see a lot of great action-adventure elements and at
times has a
Jurassic Park vibe. Finally,
among the festival films it is a rare picture that is family friendly. There�s
not a bunch of language or on screen violence and the story is interesting
enough not to bore adults. This is a great film to watch with the kids, still
have a good time, and for them to start learning Norwegian. <>>
Septic Man<>>
Jack (Jason David Brown) is the titular Septic man who
starts out as just a regular plumber. When the town�s water becomes polluted to
the point of needing to evacuate the populace; Jack is hired to find and
correct the cause. When he does find the source of the problem he inadvertently
becomes trapped in the city�s septic system. Thus starts the story that is correctly
being described as �Buried� meets �The Toxic Avenger�, only a lot gooier. This
movie definitely requires a strong stomach as it attempts to answer what
happens to a man trapped in a feces tank and what objects will accidently land
in his mouth before the film is done. <>>
The Congress<>>
This was an interesting little bittersweet sci-fi satire
worth seeing a couple of times. Robin Wright plays a fictional version of
herself who receives an offer by the studio to be scanned into a computer. The
studio will make movies with her digital self and she is free to do anything
but act. What follows is a spectacular and slightly terrifying vision of a
future that while fantastic may hold a few accurate prophecies. This movie is
so warm and the leads are amazing, both Robin Wright, Jon Hamm, and Harvey
Keitel give stunning performances. The Congress is an animated wonder from Ari
Folman, director of Waltz with Bashir.
