Understanding the Late 1990s Large-Cap Stock Market Bubble David L. Debertin Professor of Agricultural Economics University of Kentucky email@example.com Foreword This slide show is designed to help better understand the conditions that led to the bubble in large-cap stock prices in the late 1990s, and what happened as and after the bubble burst… The following graph provides a comparison of two actively-managed mutual funds that are representative of the performance of actively managed funds that can be characterized as Large- Cap Growth versus Small and Mid-Cap Value for a 15-year period beginning in 1990. The Large-Cap Growth fund is Fidelity Growth Company (FDGRX) and the Small and Mid-Cap Value fund is Fidelity Low-Priced (FLPSX). Share prices for both have been normalized to $1 a share for both funds at the start of the period. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 4/6/1990 4/6/1992 4/6/1994 4/6/1996 4/6/1998 4/6/2000 4/6/2002 4/6/2004 Normalized Share Price for Each Fund FLPSX FDGRX Note that in the mid 1990s, FDGRX starts to increase much more rapidly than FLPSX, and there are instances in 1998 and 1999 where FLPSX is nearly flat. During these periods, investors are underinvesting in small and mid-cap value stocks to take advantage of the boom in large cap growth stocks In March of 2000, The NASDAQ and FDGRX peaked, followed by a steep sell off. Notice that FLPSX continued to rise throughout this period as investors began to rotate some of the proceeds from the sale of Large-Cap Growth stocks into purchases of Small- and Mid-Cap Value stocks. There was a secondary large cap growth peak in August of 2000, but after that large cap growth stock prices deteriorated rapidly. However, some of the proceeds from the sale of large-cap growth stocks continued to be reinvested in small- and mid-cap value stocks, and FLPSX continued to rise through most of the period. Even in the steep overall market sell off of 2002 (22% loss in the S&P 500), FLPSX lost very little (about 6 %). Large-cap funds focusing primarily on stocks with above market average P/E ratios fared even worse than the S&P 500, with FDGRX Being off over 33 percent that year. This performance is typical of Large-Cap Growth funds with portfolios containing a lot of above market average P/E stocks in 2002. Consider the period from 1995 through 1999, when even the S&P 500 was going up at 20 % per year, and funds with larger NASDAQ 100 exposure were going up even faster. Given the market capitalization represented by these large companies, it took huge amounts of new injections of cash each year during the period to sustain these annual percentage gains. In retrospect, it's surprising that a large cap rally of this magnitude was sustainable for as long as it was. At some point investors run out of new cash to invest. In contrast, a 20% + rally in small and mid-cap value stocks is much easier to sustain because the the total market cap of the entire group of stocks is much smaller. Far smaller annual cash inflows are needed to sustain 20% annual appreciation rate in Small- and Mid-Cap Value than in Large-Cap Growth. To the extent that lots of cash flows into funds holding primarily small and mid-cap value stocks, the major problem fund managers face is identifying stocks that are cheap on a P/E basis yet represent favorable opportunities for further gains. So we see lots of small and mid –cap value funds closing to new investors (FLPSX, RYLPX) as soon as these inflows start to get unmanageable. A fund manager for a large-cap growth fund facing inflows will not likely run into the same problem to near the same degree. Fortunately for investors with new money to invest, there are now index funds concentrating on small and mid cap value (i.e. VISVX) as well as Exchange Traded Funds (ETF's) that allow investors to purchase S&P/Barra and Russell Value indices directly. Still, the underlying value stocks need to be able to absorb the cash inflows without too much increase in the P/E's . Since early 2000, we have yet to have a sustained rally in large-cap growth stocks, although investors in small and mid-cap value stocks (and funds with investment objectives similar to FLPSX) have continued to fare well through most of the period. We have had some short periods of 1-3 months in outperformance of Large-Cap Growth over Small-and Mid-Cap Value but not longer time periods. This suggests that having gotten burned by holding large cap growth stocks after April 2000, investors are very wary of investing in large-cap stocks that do not appear to offer good value. Investors in 2004 appear to have shown increasing interest in large-cap value stocks as the year progressed, however (GARP). In the following diagrams, assume that the large green circle represents the total market capitalization of all large-cap growth stocks, and the red circle represents the total market capitalization of the universe of small- and mid-cap value stocks at the beginning of the run-up in large cap growth stocks in the mid 1990s. The red circle is much smaller because the total market capitalization of all small- and mid-cap value stocks (those with below- market P/E ratios) is much smaller than for large-cap growth. Large-Cap Growth Small-and Mid-Cap Value As we move into 1998 and 1999, Large-Cap Growth Substantially outperformed Small and Mid-Cap Value. Fund managers complained that no one was interested in buying below-market P/E stocks, especially in the small- and mid-cap size range. Funds emphasizing these stocks fared poorly, even relative to the S&P 500 (which was increasingly dominated by small, high market cap technology firms with few employees or earnings, but nosebleed stock prices). Often these were technology or Internet-related firms as investors showed little interest in stocks of firms in sectors thought to be slower growing at any market capitalization level large or small. This was a period of extreme euphoria in the US. The Cold War had been won, the federal budget was showing an increasing surplus—something that had not happened in ages. Business schools were talking about new theories of stock valuation that no longer relied as much on current earnings, and companies were stressing their pro forma profits that excluded many expense items. Pro forma profits as reported to Wall Street could be nearly whatever the company officers wanted them to be, ignoring costs whenever convenient. Sadly, many accountants went along with this ―new accounting math‖. Meanwhile you had near startup Internet-based companies with billion dollar market caps, and officers with net worths of 10s and even 100s of millions of dollars based on the price of the stock in a recent public offering. You had companies like AOL becoming an S&P 500-sized firm based on market capitalization and having enough value to enable it to gobble up older, established but slower-growing traditional media firms such as Time Warner. By early 2000 an increasing number of people including investors started to believe that share prices could not grow to the sky without real (and not just pro forma) earnings, and the bubble burst, first in April of 2000 with a steep sell-off in high-growth, high P/E technology firms, followed by a short rally into August 2000 which was quickly followed by a sharper and still deeper downturn. The air was starting to go out of the large-cap Growth balloon! Large-Cap Growth Small-and Mid-Cap Value Whenever investors sell stocks, the proceeds from The sale must be parked somewhere. We know now that in the sell off starting in 2000, many investors wanted to believe that the downturn was very temporary. Therefore they parked large amounts of cash in money market funds and other accounts where their principal would at least be safe. All this cash caused interest rates on money market funds to fall to historically low levels. Option 1: Hold Cash with the idea of moving back into the market soon Large-Cap Growth Small-and Mid-Cap Value Cash, Money- Market Funds A second option was to park cash from the proceeds in US Government or high-grade corporate bonds. Investors who did this fared quite well for a period of time, as the Federal Reserve was increasingly worried about the threat of a recession (in part brought on by the puncturing of the Large-Cap balloon), rather than inflation. As interest rates begun their slow decline, bondholders who had gotten out early saw the value of bonds they purchased in 2000 and 2001 appreciate in value. Option 2: Invest in Government Debt or High-Grade Corporate bonds Large-Cap Growth Small-and Mid-Cap Value Cash, Money- Government and Market Funds Corporate Bonds A third major option involved rotating proceeds from the sale of Large-Cap Growth stocks and mutual funds into another segment of the market. Here the relative size of the large-cap growth side of the market versus small- and mid-cap value side is important. If only a small portion of proceeds from the sale of large-cap growth stocks get reinvested into small- and mid-cap value stocks and funds, because the total market cap is so much smaller in that segment, that will be enough to fuel a strong up-movement in small- and mid cap stocks and funds containing those stocks. Option 3: Invest in Small-and Mid-Cap Value stocks Large-Cap Growth Small-and Mid-Cap Value Cash, Money- Government and Market Funds Corporate Bonds The period of relative outperformance of small- and mid-cap value stocks and funds relative to large cap growth funds continues through 2004, with only brief largely unsustainable rallies on the large-cap growth side. It is important to note that because of the comparative size of the total market capitalization of stocks labeled Large-Cap Growth versus Small- and Mid- Cap Value, it takes far less newly invested cash to sustain this relative overperformance on the Small- and Mid-Cap Value side of the market. In short, the outperformance of Small and Mid-cap Value relative to Large-Cap Growth could continue for some time to come. Meanwhile we still have lots of investors with proceeds from stock sales when the large-cap growth bubble burst still earning low rates of interest on money market funds. Life is about to become far more difficult for those holding cash in bonds, as the value of more recently purchased bonds decrease as interest rates begin a slow but steady rise. The bond market quickly becomes a Chinese water torture in which assets are depleted a drop at a time, and investors will increasingly want to find other opportunities for the money invested in bonds as the Fed does its thing with respect to slowly raising rates, and the full impacts of the huge federal deficits start to hit the credit markets. Over the next several years, barring major terrorist attacks or another major economic downturn, more and more of the money now parked in money market accounts and shorter-term government bonds will likely come back into the equities market in some form. An interesting question is what side of the market will that money tend to favor. Investors still clearly remember what happened to their investments when the balloon burst in 2000, and those that simply held on still are a long ways from having fully recovered. Meanwhile they also observe the recent data showing outperformance of Small- and Mid-Cap Value. Even a small portion of new cash gets invested on this side a rally in these stocks may very well continue. Because of its size, the large-cap side of the stock market has a far greater capacity to absorb huge cash inflows than does the small and mid-cap side. Further, if we are looking at the universe of small- and mid-cap stocks that can be bought at below market average P/E ratios, unless earnings rise in line with the purchases using net cash inflows, P/E ratios could quickly rise, making the stocks no longer a Value play. Both the indexes and actively-managed funds no doubt have definite sell rules when a once value stock is to be sold or dropped from an index. Otherwise a Value fund would not remain a Value fund for long! Meanwhile you have the effort toward privatizing a portion of social security. The Social Security Trust fund is running a current surplus in that current collections exceed current payouts. Currently, that surplus is used to finance the national debt in that it is used to purchase government bonds. The federal government could fairly readily privatize a portion of social security by permitting working people to place a share of that current surplus in a privately held account with their own individual names on it—i.e. a vested versus the current non-vested (pay benefits as you go) plan. One option in a vested plan would be for the individual to invest that money in US government bonds. That is what happens to the trust fund surplus right now, except that those bonds are not tied to a particular worker. But the most interesting possibility would be allowing at least a portion of the privatized dollars to be invested in the equities markets. Even a small portion privatized would represent a huge sum of cash for the equities markets to absorb, and quickly would go beyond the amounts the small-and mid-cap side of the market could absorb. Further, the Federal government at least initially would likely believe that the large-cap equity markets represent less long-term risk than the small- and mid-cap markets, and workers may not have alternatives that go beyond funds dominated by large-cap stocks. So social security privatization might lead to a mini-boom in large-cap stocks and funds as the markets absorb the new cash (cash currently in government debt instruments). If workers are permitted to move privatized social security accounts into investments other than US Government debt, in essence they will each be selling some of the Government bonds now represented by the current surplus in the Social Security Trust fund. The Government will still have to finance the debt once financed by trust fund surpluses, and in order to do this, interest rates on government debt will likely rise. Meanwhile investments in equities by workers paying into social security should lead to growth in the private sector. Tax revenues from this growth might to a degree offset increased expenditures by the federal government for interest on the national debt. The Corporation One way of viewing a corporation is that it is simply a mechanism for deploying capital From a capital budgeting perspective, corporations seek to deploy capital in such a way that will permit them to earn above market average internal rates of return Were this not true the investor would do better by simply investing in the market index Large corporations need large capital projects for them to have any meaningful impact on rates of return and earnings Many large-cap corporations appear to be running out of ideas for deploying capital at high rates of return Microsoft gives investors back a large dividend rather than deploying capital in high payoff projects within the firm AT&T deploys capital in projects earning below average rates of return? GE In the 90s an exception, but now? Mid- and small-cap firms need to implement smaller projects than large firms do in order to positively affect overall rates of return and earnings Smaller firms have more opportunities to increase Economic Value Added (EVA) Smaller not larger firms have the potential for faster year over year growth rates Projects with high potential payoffs can be riskier than projects with lower payoffs Larger firms have some advantages: 1. Less competition 2. Dominance over markets 3. Access to capital 4. Name recognition Markowitz-Sharpe Portfolio Theory Nobel-prize winning economists Harry Markowitz and Robert Sharpe developed the underlying theory that forms the basis for the mutual fund industry. They argued that a properly diversified portfolio of volatile stocks would be substantially less volatile than each individual stock in the portfolio taken alone Their solution to diversification suggested picking individual stocks for a portfolio that all have a good potential for high returns over a long period of time, but combine stocks whose returns patterns often do not move together. Markowitz and Sharpe would likely have suggested that an investor diversify by putting half the original investment in FLPSX and the other half in FDGRX. The returns would have looked like the red line on the following graph Value of $1000 for each Model $14,000.00 $12,000.00 $10,000.00 $8,000.00 All Value All Growth $6,000.00 Half in each $4,000.00 $2,000.00 $0.00 4/6/1990 4/6/1992 4/6/1994 4/6/1996 4/6/1998 4/6/2000 4/6/2002 4/6/2004 Date The Diversified (Markowitz-Sharpe) strategy which puts half the initial investment in each fund (FLPSX and FDGRX) appears to be better than the all-Growth (all FDGRX) strategy but more volatile and risky than the all-Value (all FLPSX) strategy. Losses in 2000-2002 for the Diversified strategy while a bit muted are still substantial, and month to month variation in returns remains high. The Holy Grail of Investing The Holy Grail of investing is a model that would tell the investor that relative gains from one fund (or stock) are starting to increase in comparison with another fund or stock, and then also signal when the relative gains are beginning to narrow. Such a model would provide the necessary signals so that the investor could ride up a market bubble such as that which occurred in Large-cap growth stocks and funds, and them move into something else (perhaps a Value fund) just after the bubble begins to burst. I have developed such a model and that model appears to accurately signal when an investor should be in Large-Cap Growth (FDGRX) versus Small and Mid-Cap Value (FLPSX). Graphing the model results, we get the following graph from a one-time $1,000 investment in April, 1990 to December, 2004 All Growth= $1,000 FDGRX bought and held All Value = $1,000 FLPSX bought and Held Switching = $1,000 invested according to signals from the Debertin spreadsheet Switching Model Value of $1000 for each Model $30,000.00 $25,000.00 $20,000.00 All Value $15,000.00 All Growth Switching $10,000.00 $5,000.00 $0.00 4/6/1990 4/6/1992 4/6/1994 4/6/1996 4/6/1998 4/6/2000 4/6/2002 4/6/2004 Date The Debertin Switching model generates an ending value about twice as great as the buy-and-hold Value (FLPSX) strategy, and about four times as great as the buy-and-hold Growth strategy $6,135 All Growth= $1,000 FDGRX bought and held $12,055 All Value = $1,000 FLPSX bought and Held $9,095 = Markowitz-Sharpe Diversified ($500 in FLPSX, $500 in FDGRX) $25,359 Switching = $1,000 invested according to signals from the Debertin spreadsheet Switching Model The Switching model requires only a limited number of rotations between FDGRX and FLPSX over the entire period, and signals when they should occur with a high degree of accuracy Further details about implementing the Debertin Holy Grail Switching model can be found at http://www.dldebertin.com/finance/grail.htm ----David L.

As expected, Barry Bonds didn't get into the Baseball Hall of Fame today, only getting 36.2% of the 75% needed to gain entry into the Hall. Meanwhile, Barry left the mainland for vacation in Hawaii, the perfect place to visit when cameras are trying to hunt you down in California. As you can see in the above photo from @KateHiggy_4, Bonds isn't exactly shedding tears. Thumbs up, from Mr. Positive. TMZ also caught up with Bonds, who was wearing sweet cargos, and an unidentified woman. According to @MichaelGingrich, Bonds is staying at the Four Seasons, in case a reporter is looking for a comment. Filed under: Baseball

Mike Stone (born in Makawao, Maui, Hawaii)[1] is an American martial artist, retired karate fighter, fight choreographer, stuntman, actor, author, and motivational speaker.[3][4]
Mike Stone was born in Makawao, Maui, Hawaii. Stone's first introduction to the martial arts was in Aikido while as a student Lahainaluna High School.[5] After graduating Stone enlisted in the US Army in 1962. Stone began studying Shorin-ryu Karate earning his black belt in only six months[3] under Herbert Peters while stationed at Fort Chaffee in Arkansas.[1] Well known for his karate tournament success in the 1960s, Stone known for his aggressiveness earned the nicknamed "The Animal"[4] would amass a record of 91 consecutive wins.[3] In 1964, Stone won the sparring grand championship at the first ever International Karate Championships in Long Beach, California.[4] Stone has authored several books, most notably "Mike Stone's Book of American Eclectic Karate".[6]
Stone met Elvis and Priscilla Presley in 1967 at the Mainland vs. Hawaii Karate Championships promoted by Elvis' longtime karate instructor Ed Parker. Stone next met the couple backstage at one of Elvis' shows in Las Vegas in 1972. Stone had been working as a bodyguard for record producer Phil Spector.[7] After the show, Elvis invited Stone back to the couple's penthouse suite where Elvis suggested that Priscilla train with Stone.[8] Three weeks later Priscilla made the 45 minute drive to Stone's school in Huntington Beach. Because of the distance Priscilla opted to train with Chuck Norris who had a school in West Los Angeles which was closer to the Presley home. Stone would make occasional trips to Norris's school to train Priscilla. The relationship soon turned romantic, resulting in Elvis and Priscilla's divorce several months later. Stone and Priscilla would subsequently split up in 1975.[7]
Personal life[edit]
Stone has been married three times. He met his first wife, Mary Ann Dobbs, while in the army stationed at Fort Chaffee. He met his second wife, Francine Doxey in Newport Beach where he was working as a bouncer.[9] In 1985, Stone sold all his possessions and moved to an isolated island in the Philippines[3] where he and his current wife Taina live.[4]

As a coauthor of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, he's sold more than 80 million books, and now lives "in a beautiful California estate" with his days of dining on spaghetti and tomato paste long behind him. "All you have to do is decide what it is you want, believe you deserve it, and practice the principles in this book," he says, and success is yours.
His advice is straightforward (examples: "reject rejection" and "surround yourself with successful people"), but rather derivative, with quotes from the likes of JFK, Colin Powell, Aldous Huxley, and fellow motivation author Napoleon Hill.Canfield's definition of success is primarily monetary, and he includes plenty of anecdotes depicting average folks who saved themselves from the brink of bankruptcy after following his principles. He could tone down the braggadocio; readers don't need to know that he's stayed in resorts in Hawaii, Italy, Australia, and Morocco. Despite those gripes, his cheerleader-caliber enthusiasm should benefit anyone looking to improve their lot in life. --Erica Jorgensen

100 Holes for the Homeless 2015
Monday, June 8, 2015
Broadmoor Country Club
We're looking for 30 passionate people for a nontraditional, 100-hole golf marathon. Golfers receive a golf shirt, prizes, and a chance to play one of Indy's premier golf courses!
Event is free for fundraising golfers (all are asked to fundraise a minimum of $1,000). Food/drinks are provided. Golfers get their own cart and play a best ball format: two balls on every par 4 and 5 and three balls on every par 3.
Fundraising: Golfers will have 30 days of fundraising leading up to the event! Everyone will get a personal fundraising page and will ask family, friends, co-workers, etc. to support him/her and Wheeler Mission by making a tax-deductible donation of $1, $0.75, $0.50, etc. per hole.
Are you up to the challenge? Don't miss out! Claim your spot today!
Why play 100 Holes? Here's what some golfers said:
"I love golf and I know what Wheeler Mission is all about from living in Central Indiana all my life. I thought it was a good time to get involved and give back. So much negativity in the world today, doing something like this will be rewarding."
"I want to help because I have volunteered at Wheeler for about 5 years and this is simply an additional and fun way to help."
"We're commanded by our Lord to feed the hungry and provide shelter."
"I have volunteered at Wheeler before and donated, but this sounded like fun."
2014 Recap
$45,487 Raised by 33 Golfers in 30 Days!
Top Golfer – Brock Ward
Top Fundraiser – Bob Desrosiers – $4,165 raised (see picture)
Second Place Fundraiser – Gary Reinwald – $3,650 raised
Out of the 33 golfers, 24 of them hit their goal of raising $1,000. The donation total was up 45% from last year! Overall, this event has raised around $130,000 to help the homeless in our 4 years of doing it.
In 2014, we had five celebrities come out and play with some of our top fundraisers: Todd Klaassen (RTV6), Dana Huntsinger-Benbow (Indianapolis Star), Kurt Wallace (88.3 Shine.FM), Troy Kehoe (WishTV8), and Kyle Knezevich (ESPN Radio).
Thank you to our 2014 sponsors

Campus Housing:
A wide variety of housing is offered to upperclassmen, however, housing options are limited for incoming freshman that seek to live amongst fellow freshmen while also having a decently-sized living space.
Off-Campus Dining:
A little inconvenient if living on-campus.
I don't have problems w/the policies enforced.
Campus Food:
Hit or miss depending on your preferences.
Campus Housing:
Fine Arts LLC was great. No other experience.
Applying for financial aid was easy and the process went smoothly, but Baylor is extremely expensive and without a bank loan I wouldn't have been able to attend. I am grateful that Baylor was able to provide enough financial aid to cover half of my expenses, but the COA is $54,000. My suite-mate and I are getting the same amount of aid, yet his family makes four times the amount my family does. I wish Baylor would provide more need based scholarships for middle class families. In all, the process isn't very difficult everything is done online and is pretty much taken care of during orientation.
Campus Housing:
I loved living in Allen Residence Hall. Deciding to join the Leadership Living Learning Center was the best decision I made as a freshman. The hall was clean (compared to other residence halls), The room was spacious, and the people who lived on my floor provided a productive but friendly social atmosphere. Walking into Allen Residence Hall one can easily note the cleanliness of the building. Despite its old carpet smell and slow-creaking elevator, the hall is nice and well kept. The community restrooms are clean, the halls don't have filth all over the carpet, and the kitchen is always clear of any messes. That is more than I can say for other residential halls at other colleges. My friends have told my horror stories of popcorn being thrown all over the hallway, mold in the community bathrooms, and exit signs being torn down and broken. After visiting friends from other college campuses and residence halls I was very grateful for the spaciousness of my dorm. To enter the room you must slide your student ID and punch in your personal pass-code for the door to unlock. When you open the door you will first notice a miniature hallway that leads into the room. The hallway is enclosed by two sliding closets, one on each side. Making the perilous five step journey from the hallway into the room you notice the openness of the square floor plan. The room was able to hold two extended twin sized mattresses, two personal desks with three small shelves and a slide out compartment , two dressers with four large drawers, a hip high shelf, and a micro fridge. In addition, the room comfortably held thirteen people to watch movies and sporting events. The community at Allen Residence Hall is better described as a family. We went on retreats, hung out together, and studied together. Friends turned to brothers and the hall truly became my home away from home.
Party Scene:
I don't party much. I've been to three parties all year and all of them weren't that great. I don't drink and going to these parties it seems like you have to get drunk in order to have a good time. I prefer to go to Wild West on Thursday nights to go dancing. Many of the fraternity parties offer a great opportunities to socialize with fraternity brothers and try to get a bid, but it is only useful if you plan to rush and I have no interest in rushing a fraternity.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are a multitude of places to eat at within a mile of campus. At the gas station connected to campus there is a 24 hour subway that gives student discounts. Off of Speight Ave. there is a Jimmy Johns, Vitek's barbecue, Burger King (which gives a student discount), Scholtzskys, and they are building a Fuego. Under the bridge across the highway there is several fast food restaurants to go to. I tried to stay away from those as much as I can, but on the weekends Torchy's Tacos got the best of me. For dining restaurants you actually have to get on the highway. but Waco is small with minimal traffic so you can get anywhere in 10 to 15 minutes. The only complaint I have is that there aren't very many healthy off campus restaurants to eat at other than Subway.
Underage drinking and drug use is inevitable on a college campus, but Baylor does the best that they can to limit it. We have random room checks and the Community Leaders are always up doing rounds making sure people aren't under the influence or sneaking in any visitors. The attendance policy is strictly enforced especially in Chapel. In conclusion, the administration does a good job enforcing the policies, but as expected students aren't pleased with having a ton of rules.
Campus Food:
The food is surprisingly decent compared to a high school cafeteria. There were many options and a variety of places to eat. I lived in Allen Residence Hall which is connected to Memorial Dining Hall. The quality of food is good, but eating the same things everyday become boring. Food that was excellent at the beginning of the semester became tasteless towards the end. Penland Dining Hall had a variety of food, but was sometimes hit or miss, especially when it was "late night". The SUB was amazing. I could eat Chick-fil-a and grab a caramel macchiato from Einsteins everyday if I had enough dining dollars. Overall, the quality was okay and there was a variety of places to eat at on campus.
Campus Housing:
Although some of the buildings need to be remodeled, the social atmosphere is one of the best things about living in a dorm. I lived in Collins, which I loved. Sure, the community bathrooms sometimes get moldy and the dorm rooms are freezing, but I loved it. Kokernot, another girls dorm, is also nice. The best girls dorm would be South Russell, which was remodeled last year. In Collins we have a laundry room on each floor - there is a stove and community fridge inside. We also have a study room, which is so great!
Off-Campus Housing:
I still live on campus, but I did look for off-campus housing recently and it's pretty great. There are a ton of places nearby and most of them have a shuttle. The prices are reasonable, and can actually be a little cheaper than on-campus housing. You have to pay for parking at some places, at others it is included in the rent. I don't know if Baylor helps students find off-campus housing or not, because you can mostly get help through friends or upperclassmen. Off-campus housing is (usually) pretty safe.
Off-Campus Dining:
We have a good variety of options. I know Downtown Waco has a huge variety of places, including food trucks, but I've never been. Most places are incredibly full on Sundays after church.
Baylor's pretty strict. It is an alcohol- and smoke-free campus. However, underage students still drink. The administration is pretty good at making sure they're safe and giving them the consequences necessary. There are visitation hours in all of the dorms. Penland's fourth floor and Collins's sixth floor have limited visitation hours - members of the opposite sex are only allowed on Saturdays and Sundays from 1pm-6pm.
Baylor gives great scholarships. However, you need to try to get as many freshman scholarships as possible - once you're in, there's no way you'll get an increase in your scholarship unless you apply for another (mostly merit, sometimes need-based) scholarships. However, these are super competitive and mostly reserved for juniors and seniors.
Campus Food:
Brooks is definitely one of my favorites, although the lack of variety is off-putting. I recommend it for breakfast or for a Brooks burger on Fridays! I enjoy Penland because they usually have a good variety. I love Wing Wednesdays and their chicken fried steak. If all else fails, eat some cereal. I don't really like Memorial because it's mostly comfort food, which can get old pretty quickly. I like their Flying Saucers and Ms. Mei's fresh baked cookies! East Village is a hit or miss. Sometimes they have incredible food, and other times the food is so bad that you really wonder how they're still open. The SUB is a good option - there's Chick Fil A, sushi, Panda Express and Mooya Burgers. I also enjoy the BSB, because I love Which Wich. Moe's at the BSB is good as well.
Campus Housing:
The room was tiny and I paid a ton
Party Scene:
If you know someone in a fraternity or are a girl and can find the parties they are great.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are many fast food restaurants available right across the high way but they get boring as well.
The police officers are complete and total jerks. Parking services look to ticket you for every little thing and there is little parking so it can be expected that one will get at least one ticket.
I currently receive on scholarship from the school which is the President Gold Scholarship that I can use for four years while I am attending Baylor.
Campus Food:
Penland food is a no go when looking for dining hall food. Memorial has great cookies and Ms. Mae is a wonderful lady who is incredibly nice. The stir fry and the pasta is good, but it can get old pretty quickly.
Campus Housing:
Depending on what dorm you get put into will depend on your housing experience. I lived in Dawson in a single room and loved it. The dorm that you get will have varying experiences.
Overall Experience:
I really do love Baylor.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
When polling immediate post-graduation opinions, it's pretty common to hear "Happiness is seeing Waco in the rearview mirror." However, most students are relatively satisfied with their time at Baylor after nostalgia has set in. That nostalgia seems to be proportionate to the amount of time they've spent out of school, but before long, the newly-made alumni have nothing but rosy stories and donations to share. Their bad experiences fall under the omerta code of silence. For four years, at least, count on being frustrated with the social scene, overloaded with classes, poor, and running on no sleep and caffeine. The friends you make by going through that become your family and are there for life. It's all part of the college experience.
The odd thing is, an unusual amount of graduates, despite their protests, never leave Waco. Baylor family feels kin to the mob because just when you thought you were out, they suck you back in. It's blood in, blood out, and if you hate it enough, you'll leave before you're in too deep. The family environment really does seep through. Everywhere you go, especially if it's in Texas, the Baylor degree is recognized, and the school itself is well known for networking. Bears stick together and hire together. In spite of some negative experiences and living in a monotonous town for four years, if you stumble or fall in life you can count on a Baylor grad being there to pick you up and bleed green and gold.

This was a great way to use leftover turkey. I had added my frozen chunks to the pan and it worked great. I didn't have broth so used powdered bouillon with water. I doubled the recipe, too. This was was a real comfort meal. Thanks ugogirl, for posting. Roxygirl
Just the recipe I've been looking for when I want something quick and a little lighter. So far, I have made the recipe using turkey, then chicken, then pork and will next try shrimp as the meat component. So far, I've liked them all. I've added extra bean sprouts and sometimes a tbs. of molasses but the recipe is great as it is. Thanks for posting!
Excellent use of leftover turkey! In addition to onion, I used bok choy, celery, baby corn, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, pea pods and shredded carrots, and then made double the sauce. I also added about a T. of Chinese 5 Spice. My family ate it served over white rice. Delicious!
This was a fast easy recipe. This would be a good starter recipe for those who are shy about trying different foods. It was good but could have had a little bit more flavor to it. Made for Chef Alphabet Soup.

Pacific Commander: U.S. Can Intercept North Korean Missiles
The commander of the U.S. Pacific Command said Tuesday that American forces currently have the ability to intercept a North Korean ballistic missile.
Adm. Samuel Locklear, speaking before the Senate Armed Services Committee, was asked by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., if the U.S. had the ability to intercept a North Korean missile launched "within the next several days."
McCain: "Would you recommend such action?"
"If [it] was in defense of the homeland, I would certainly recommend that action, and if it was in defense of our allies, I would recommend that action," Locklear said.
In case of a North Korean launch, "we should have a sense of where it's going to be aimed," he added. "If we don't, it doesn't take long for us to determine where it's going and where it's going to land."
He said that Pyongyang's pursuit of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles was a clear threat to the United States and its allies in the Pacific, and that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un remained untested and unpredictable.

In ancient art she is usually represented in a seated pose; the omission of the head and the left arm here may bring to mind the condition of many of the finest of ancient statues.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
) is set to report fourth-quarter 2013 results on Jan 21. Last
quarter, it posted a 100% positive surprise. Let us see how
things are shaping up for this announcement.
Growth Factors this Past Quarter
Advanced Micro's third-quarter earnings exceeded the Zacks
Consensus Estimate of 2 cents owing to solid execution and cost
control management. Revenues were up 25.8% sequentially and 15.1%
year over year. It is the highest sequential revenue growth rate
in the past five years. The solid growth was driven by a 109.7%
jump in the Graphics and Visual Solutions segment, primarily from
the ramp up of semi-custom
System-on-Chips (
However, gross margins of 35.7% decreased sequentially but
were up 480 basis points (bps) from the year-ago quarter. The
sequential decrease was due to unfavorable mix and
higher-than-expected operating expenses.
For the fourth quarter, AMD expects fourth-quarter 2013
revenues to increase 5.0% (+/- 3.0%) sequentially. Non-GAAP gross
margin is expected to be 35%. Operating expenses are expected to
remain flat sequentially at approximately $450.0 million.
Earnings Whispers?
Our proven model does not conclusively show that AMD will beat
earnings this quarter. That is because a stock needs to have both
a positive
Earnings ESP
and a Zacks Rank #1, 2 or 3 for this to happen. That is not the
case here as you will see below.
Zacks ESP:
The Most Accurate estimate stands at 5 cents while the Zacks
Consensus Estimate is higher at 6 cents. That is a difference of
Zacks Rank #4 (Sell):
We caution against stocks with Zacks Ranks #4 and 5 (Sell-rated
stocks) going into the earnings announcement, especially when the
company is seeing negative estimate revisions momentum.
Other Stocks to Consider
You could consider other stocks with a positive earnings ESP
and Zacks Rank #1, 2 or 3 such as:
Bally Technologies, Inc.
), with Earnings ESP of +3.13% and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong
Western Digital Corporation
), with Earnings ESP of +0.48% and a Zacks Rank #1.
Cirrus Logic Inc.
