"How necessary this book is! And how well judged and written! Some of the best films ever made, as Robert K. Elder proves, are lamentably all but unknown." —Roger Ebert, author and film critic
"I hate Robert Elder. While the rest of us struggle to come up with compelling content, he follows The Film That Changed My Life with another must-read for the novice and hard-core cinephile alike. Anyone who is passionate about art must be prepared to abandon the comfort of conventional wisdom to defend the denigrated and the dismissed; Elder and his impressive cast of commentators inspire us to continue battling for our beloved personal treasures." —Adam Kempenaar, critic/host, Filmspotting
"Sometimes it can be more of a pleasure to hear someone discuss a movie with love than it is to see the movie itself. The thoughts and enthusiasms of Richard Linklater, Guy Maddin, John Waters, and others are alone worth the price of admission—and Steve James describing a movie I already love is no less instructive." —Jonathan Rosenbaum, author and film critic
"It's always fascinating to learn which films filmmakers themselves admire, and even more so to read about movies they regard as underrated or virtually lost. Robert K. Elder has managed to coax absorbing, candid comments from directors as elusive as John Dahl, Steve James, and Alex Proyas." —Peter Cowie, author and film historian
"Anyone who loves movies should find fascinating stuff here." —Hollywood & Mine
"For a movie lover who enjoys discoveries and challenges, its 260-ish pages combine into something resembling sheer joy. Is it too early to ask for a sequel?" —Oaklahoma Gazette
"Elder is successful in pulling thoughtful, stimulating commentary from an impressive group, which makes for an illuminating look at eight decades of cinema across a variety of genres including musicals, comedies, thrillers, and theatrical adaptations.Verdict: A well-written, lively read for pop culture fans and cinephiles alike. Film buffs especially will enjoy this foray into the fascinating world of cinematic shadows." —Library Journal
"It's a fascinating read . . . You can read it in easy chunks, or, as I did, devour it because you can't stop checking out what one more director had to say." —Omaha World Herald

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2933) Two-stage state expansion for the FST: distance-from-root and child-count criteria.
|Mon, 21 Feb 2011 17:53:39 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2933?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12997492#comment-12997492 ] Dawid Weiss commented on LUCENE-2933: ------------------------------------- Guys, can you peek at this and review it? It's of minimal priority, but I checked and this change: a) doesn't seem to degenerate FST compilation performance b) hurt traversal performance on real data (checked against the allterms-20110115), c) improves worst case behavior on degenerate input sequences. If approved, I will commit it in. > Two-stage state expansion for the FST: distance-from-root and child-count criteria. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2933 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2933 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Reporter: Dawid Weiss > Assignee: Dawid Weiss > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-2933.patch > > > In the current implementation FST states are expanded into a binary search on labels (from a vector of transitions) when the child count of a state exceeds a given predefined threshold (NUM_ARCS_FIXED_ARRAY). This threshold affects automaton size and traversal speed (as it turns out when benchmarked). For some degenerate (?) data sets, close-to-the-root nodes could have a small number of children (below the threshold) and yet be traversed on every single seek. > A fix of this is to introduce two control thresholds: > EXPAND state if (distance-from-root <= MIN_DISTANCE || children-count >= NUM_ARCS_FIXED_ARRAY) > My plan is to create a data set that will prove this first and then to implement the workaround above. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

DeWayne Wise has had a pretty eventful summer.
In addition to benefitting from one of the worst blown calls by an MLB official this year, the reserve outfielder unexpectedly took the mound for the second time this season on Tuesday night.
White Sox manager Robin Ventura called on Wise to man the hill during the ninth inning as Chicago trailed Minnesota 18-8. The 34-year-old journeyman, who was released by the Yankees and picked up by the White Sox after the All-Star break, faced four batters while allowing a walk and inducing a double play in front of a depleted crowd at U.S. Cellular Field.
Not bad for a position player who has only pitched twice in the majors.
Ironically, Wise's pitching debut in June came against his current team when the White Sox played the Yankees in New York.
Perhaps Ventura was doing a little scouting for his club?

Why is there a Lack of Generational Wealth in the Black Community?.
Today African American communities are falling apart tremendously. Crime is rising; children are killing more than they are working. Economics are lowering; people tend to spend their money in other communities where businesses look more professional than that of their own, and families are fighting over material things that do not have value or meaning. There is also a rise in welfare, section eight housing, abortion, credit card and calling card charges, and layaway spending that keeps an individual in bondage; bondage of his mind. I would like to suggest that there is a lack of generational wealth in the African-American community. The lack of generational wealth is a direct result of our knowledge of economics and understanding economics.
In order to understand the two, generational wealth and economics, you first have to go back to the beginning of time when God created the man and woman (Adam and Eve) and gave them their job description. In the book of Genesis the first chapter and the 28th verse, God said, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." And God also said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food" (Question about Quoting Bible). At this time God gave a charge to Adam and Eve giving them dominion. They were producers of the world. But when they decided to mess up in the garden by eating the forbidden fruit, they went from being producers into being consumers. This is one of the problems today in the black community. Out of a lack of understanding of who we are and what our purpose is, we consume all things of others but rarely move into the understanding of producing our own.

Thank you very much for matching the other prices available for the Innova target that I just received. The target arrived without incident and my kids and I are in love with it. I hit it with an 80 foot shot yesterday when we received it, much to the dismay of my kids and myself, and it was great! It is a pleasure doing business with your company and I will continue to do so! Our next order is going in tonight :) So far you are the only mail order company we have dealt with, and given your stellar customer service via emails and telephone, I would like to keep it that way. Great job.

Desperate Leafs acquire center Peter Holland from Ducks for Jesse Blacker and picks
I would imagine Holland, a highly-skilled centre, will get a good chance to show what he has for injury-riddled TOR. — Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) November 16, 2013
New #Leafs C Peter Holland is 22, 6-foot-2 and scored 19g in 45gp in AHL last year. He had 3g and 5pts in 21 games with Ducks. — Michael Traikos (@Michael_Traikos) November 16, 2013
Peter Holland will join the #Leafs today and Brad Staubitz is assigned to the #Marlies. http://t.co/lgH6GSdWp4 #TMLtalk — Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) November 16, 2013
Holland was Ducks first pick 15th overall four years ago. He's a skilled centre with decent hands and has decent AHL numbers. Not a grinder. — James Mírtle (@mirtle) November 16, 2013
In my opinion Peter Holland is a high end prospect, very intelligent player and skating has improved a ton, prior with Barb Underhill — Jon Abbott (@HockeyAbbs) November 16, 2013

From: "Carryl M. Meyer" <email@example.com>
So glad for the explanation about 2-4-D and all the names under which it is
marketed. Sounds great!!!Works well!!! Means that I do not have to pull or
If only half the population of an area is using it--even in small
amounts--the effect upon the ground water can be disasterous!!!!!!!
I live on the edge of town--which is located in a valley--about 6 miles by
12 miles--we have what is called a "sole-source-water-supply" for the
town--that means that there is one source for our water--from
underground--from wells-- there are two levels of water available for wells
to tap into--one about 150 feet and the other about 300 feet--if you were
paying to have a well dug at about $30.00 a foot--wouldn't you choose to go
only as deep as the 150 foot layer?
That is great, but do not plan upon growing flowers, veges or any
broad-leaf bushes or trees--Why? because the upper water level is so
contaminated with 2-4D that, when used to water the garden, results in
stunted, deformed plants!!! All bbbroadleaf plants.
One of our Iris Society members, who had raised Iris for at least 20 years,
moved to a new house--we all helped him move his plants and put them into
prepared beds--a month later--everything was sick!!!!!!! (Lawn looked
Water samples taken to Dept. of Health for testing, showed 2-4D (and its
relatives) to be at levels so high it could not be accurately
measured--safe levels are something like 2 parts per billion--
So now, after having filters put into the well (this is a rented place)
which cost a goodly amount, he can finally raise a few Iris--using water he
purchases, or which friends take to him---can you imagine watering your
Iris from a gallon jug--and Dahlias for him are a plant of the past--
Seems that the water layer on that side of town in terribly
contaminated--good thing that there is where the cemeteries are, and light
industry-and not too many people trying to grow flowers-(and that I am on
the other side of town, and use water company water from the deep wells)
The deep well water here is so pure that no treatment with Chlorine is
necessary--and it even tastes great--
So please, realize that maybe what you are putting on your plants and
ground can effect other places--downstream--
I have not read about studies being done which measure the amount of
residual build-up of 2-4D after many years of use-- and if anyone knows of
this kind of Study, I would like the reference to it--but--if you are going
to use it--please use it sparingly--- I use it myself--my job with the club
garden is to control the dandelions in our lawn area, so I spray a couple
times a year, and even use it sometimes in the iris beds--very
carefully-and not too much--
Trefllan--also use sparingly--it was used on our club garden several years
ago--and my, what interesting 'oddities' we had--the person in charge
then--who thought he had found a great way to control weeds--did not read
the directions enough--
I checked out Sutton's new little ones--they are great--especially the
IB--what an interesting color pattern--have you thought up a name for that
pattern yet? Isn't the 'computer-age' wonderful--where we can see the new
little ones--without having to travel to Calif.? I will gladly volunteer
to try any or all of them for winter hardiness.
Carryl in western montana--where Spring is just a memory--snow all around
us and all we get is cold wind--

10.000 spectators coming from all over Sardinia watched at the 2016 absolute first race of world Motocross in Alghero. A marvellous track sorrounded by a wonderful landscape, for a very hard race with the best riders.
The show on the sand makes everyone be excited watching a so high level competition.
It's in fact in the main class, ELITE, when the best 20 riders from MX1 and MX2 racing at their maximum level, with spectacular duels and overtakings. At the end of the day Evgeny Bobryshev (Team HRC) wins: he starts fast and keeps the lead of the race ahead of the World Champin Febvre (Monster Energy Yamaha MXGP Team). The Frenchman recover the gap but he doesn't manage to pass because of a lapped rider; however the Russianman puts on track all his determination to gain the first victory of the season. Third placed is the Belgian Van Horebeek (Monster Energy Yamaha MXGP Team), who is able to defend his position against the attacks of the imperious Herlings (Red Bull KTM Factory racing), who makes a great recover riding his KTM 250. Fifth classified is Butron (Marchetti KTM), who gains Hurly Holeshot, while Gajser (Honda Gariboldi) is sixth. Behind them a great Guarneri (Honda RedMoto Assomotor) raced on top until he unluckly falls in the final.
In the previous MX1 race, the debuting Tim Gajser, the MX2 2015 World Champion, makes the pace until he seemed to be tired and finishes far behind the first three: Febvre, Van Horebeek and Bobryshev. In MX2 Herlingse won easily, closing the competition at half race. Behind him the battle is hard: Cervellin shows all his skills and passes a world MX2 protagonist like Anstie (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory).
In the 125 class, the French Rubini (KTM Silver Action) wins race#1 and then by the second place in race#2 gains the overall victory. Second classified is the Van De Moosdijk (DP19 Racing Yamaha) and third placed is Haarup (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory).
Finally we can just remind the Lamezia Terme (CZ) round next 7th February with the World Champions. This 2016 Internazionali d'Italia championship is absolutely to be watched: the participants, coming from all over Europe and overseas, are ready to show that Motocross is made by riders on track, mainly when the venues are like today and are well promoted by FMI and OFFROADproracing, instrict collaboration with local institutions like Comune di Alghero and Banca di Sassari.

The data, from IMF, does not include China or India.
The chart shows data for net debt (gross debt reduced by certain assets: gold, currency deposits, debt securities etc.).
Viewing our post on the data in 2014 we can see that the USA improved on the expectations, managing to hold net debt to 80% instead of increasing to 88% as expected. Nearly every country managed to take on less debt than predicted (Vietnam took on more, but is very low so this is not a problem).
Taking on debt to invest in valuable resources (building roads, mass transit, internet infrastructure, education, environmental regulation and enforcement, health care, renewable energy…) that will boost long term economic performance can be very useful. The tricky part is knowing the debt levels doesn't tell you whether the debt was taken on for investment or just to let current taxpayers send the bills for their consumption to their grandchildren.
Also government debt can become a huge burden on the economy (especially if the debt is owed outside the country). The general consensus today seems to be that 100% net debt level is the maximum safe amount and increasing beyond that gets riskier and riskier.
Dual momentum investing boiled down to the simplest view involves only seeing if the S&P 500 outperformed USA t-bills for the last year. If so, invest in an low cost S&P 500 fund. If not, invest in a high quality short duration bond fund.
There are many different tweaks to this idea. Dual Momentum Investing by Gary Antonacci does a good job of exploring this idea and providing evidence on historical returns using this method. 3 big advantages of this strategy are
- Simplicity – easy to implement and it takes nearly no time each year
- Low cost – uses low cost index fund and has very limited transaction costs (direct or tax costs from sales) as it averages fewer than 1 trade a year)
- Good performance historically – the book details performance and the low risk nature of the strategy in backtesting.
There are ways to adjust the strategy that increase the complexity a bit for those looking to increase returns or reduce risks.
It is something worth reading in my opinion. The book isn't the easiest to read but it is decent and worth reading.
Gary Antonacci also has a blog worth reading.

To be financially successful, you need to invest. The problem most people have is deciding where their investments should be made. For a long time, real estate was seen as the best and most profitable bet. Remember the house flipping trend in the early millennium, before the housing market crashed? A successful investing strategy for a short period is no guaranty of that strategy working for the long term. Diversification provides more long term stability.
There are two approaches to investing in a franchise. The one most people go for–especially those who are tired of being someone else's employee–is to opt into an already existing franchise. Yes, the cost of these franchises can be pricey. For example, the average UPS franchise cost is anywhere from $100K-$440K, depending on where your franchise will be located, if you will need to build a new structure, etc. But there is financing available and if you work with an established brand (like UPS, food chains, mall shops). There are risks and you can read about problems franchisees face just by searching online, but it also has been very successful for many people.
Another approach, for people who already own their own successful businesses, is to think about turning those businesses into franchises. This way people will pay you to run your company at their locations. This is quite a huge leap in complexity but the profit potential is very large.
My favorite method for business, and one my brother used for his business, Hexawise (I continue to consult for Hexawise), is bootstrapping. With this method you grown the business from the funds the business is able to generate. You don't have to worry about pleasing investors or large debt payments. It does limit the ability to spend cash before the business generates it but this is often a benefit, in my opinion, as it forces you to avoid spending you can't afford. It is a drawback however if the business really needs to spend a large amount of cash before it generates large amounts of income.
If you don't want to have the responsibility of running a company yourself but still want to profit off of business investments, your best chance to do that is to invest in a promising new business. There are some people who turn enough of a profit doing this that it becomes their entire vocation.
Investing in a business has many benefits, especially if that company does well. When you invest, you typically do so in one of three ways:
- Silent partnerships: You front the money and lend your reputation in exchange for a share of the company's ownership so that the investment will be profitable. This is good for people who want to have more control over what the company does with your investment. It can also be one of the riskiest types of investments to make.
- Angel investments: This is where you invest a large sum in a promising company but remain entirely hands-off while that company gets up and running. Most angel investors ask only for their initial investments plus a small sum on top of that original amount (usually accrued via interest charges) so that the investment is profitable for everyone.
- Traditional investments: Buying stocks or bonds in public companies. This is by far the easiest and is a very sensible way to invest. Often this is done using index funds to invest in the performance of the broad stock market.
The Usual Suspects
If you want to make real money via investing, you will want to make sure your investment portfolio includes a good mixture of stocks, bonds, mutual funds etc.. In fact, while we're listing them last, these are the investments you will usually want to make first, as you build enough wealth and capital to make larger investments like franchises and investing in promising startups.
For many people, the first investments are savings accounts, 401(k)s or retirement accounts. If this is where you are, your next step should be something with a guaranteed return like a treasury bond (government bond) or a money-market account with a good interest rate. Let these investments mature while you are learning about stocks, mutual funds, real estate, business investing, etc. Then use the profits from those initial investments to fund your larger and riskier future projects.
You should never invest more than you can afford to lose. Sure taking risks can pay off, but if you want to build a genuinely successful portfolio, play it safe, especially when you are just getting started.
Alphabet (Google) writes how they purchased 3.2 million shares this quarter in their earnings release:
In Q1 2016, we repurchased 3.2 million shares of Alphabet Class C capital stock for an aggregate amount of $2.3 billion, of which $2.1 billion was paid during the quarter. The total remaining authorization for future repurchases is approximately $1.4 billion. The authorization has no expiration date.
And they tout non-GAAP earnings, while of course reporting the GAAP earnings as required. One of the things executives like about non-GAAP earnings is they pretend the stock they give away to themselves doesn't have a cost to shareholders. When you call attention to spending over $2 billion in the quarter to buy back 3.2 million shares it seems silly to then claim that the stock you gave away shouldn't be considered as an expense.
How can you pay over $2 billion just to get back the stock you gave away and also pretend that money is not really a cost? And on top of that you promote the buyback as evidence that the stock is really worth more than you paid (after all why would you pay more than it is worth). But when you give the stock away to yourself that shouldn't be seen as a cost? It is amazing they can do this and think they are not doing anything wrong.
And where does Google stand compared to last year for outstanding shares? 689,498,000 last year compared to 699,311,000 now. So nearly 10,000,000 more shares outstanding, even after they bought back 3.2 million this quarter. In the previous quarter there where 697,025,000 shares outstanding. All these figures are weighted-average diluted share balances for the entire quarter.
Google CEO, Sundar Pichai, got a $100 million stock award in 2015 (before being promoted to CEO). After the promotion he will be taking an additional "$209 million in stock granted every other year (he has to stay at Google for four years after each grant to cash them out)." He was granted $335 million in stock in 2014 and $78 million in 2013. You can see how quickly the executives paying themselves this well (this is 1 executive, a highly ranked one but still just 1) can dilute stockholders positions even with multi billion dollar buybacks in a quarter.
You don't hear companies promoting how much dilution they are imposing on shareholders in order to provide windfalls for executives. I wonder why? No I don't. I do wonder why reporters promote the buybacks and ignore the fact that the dilution is so extreme that it even overwhelms billions of dollars in buybacks.
Alphabet reported $6.02 a share in earnings and $7.50 a share in non-GAAP "earnings" for the latest quarter.
As I have said before I believe Google's ability to extract enormous profit from their search dominance (as well as YouTube and adwords) makes it a very compelling long term investment. It would be better if the executives were not allowed to take such huge slices from the cash flow Google generates. But it is able to sustain those raids on stockholder equity and still be a good investment and appears likely to be able to continue to do so. Though I think they would be better off reducing the amount executives take going forward.

This post continues our series on peer-to-peer lending (and LendingClub): Peer to Peer Portfolio Returns and The Decline in Returns as Loans Age, Investing in Peer to Peer Loans. LendingClub, and other peer-to-peer lenders let you use filters to find loans that meet your criteria. So if you chose to take more, or less, risk you can use filters to find loans fitting your preferences. Those filters can also be applied to automate your lending.
There are resources online to help you understand the past results of various investing strategies (returns based on various filters). Some filter are just a trade-off of risk for return. You can invest in grade A (a LendingClub defined category) loans that have the lowest risk, and the lowest interest rates and historical returns. Or you can increase your risk and get loans with higher interest rates and also higher historical returns (after factoring in defaults).
LendingClub lets you set filters to use to automatically invest in new loans as funds are available to invest (either you adding in new money or receiving payments on existing loans). This is a nice feature, there are items you can't filter on however, such as job title. And also you can't make trade-offs, say given x, y and z strong points and a nice interest rate in this loan I will accept a bit lower value on another factor.
So I find I have to be a bit less forgiving on the filter criteria and then manually make some judgements on other loans. For me I add a bit higher risk on my manual selections. I would imagine most people don't bother with this, just using filters to do all the investing for them. And I think that is fine.
Practically what I do so that I can make some selections manually is to set the criteria to only be 98% invested. This will cause it to automatically invest any amount over 2% that is not invested. You can set this to whatever level you want and also is how you can make payments to yourself. I will say I think one of the lamest "features" of LendingClub is that is has no ability to send you regular monthly checks. So you have to manually deal with it.
It should be simple for them to let you set a value like send me $200 on the 15th of each month. And then it manages the re-investments knowing that and your outstanding loans. But they still don't offer that feature.
As I said one of the factors in setting filters is managing risk v. reward but the other is really about weaknesses in the algorithm setting rates. You can just see it as risk-reward trade-off but I think it is more sensible to see 2 different things. The algorithm weaknesses are factors that will fluctuate over time as the algorithm and underwriting standards are improved. For example, loans in California had worse returns (according to every site I found accessing past results). There is no reason for this to be true. If a person with the exactly same profile is riskier in California that should be reflected in higher rates and thus bring the return into balance. My guess is this type of factor will be eliminated over time. But if not, or until it is, fixed filtering out loans to California makes sense.
Once you set your filter criteria then you select what balance you want between A, B, C, D, E and FG loans. I set mine to
I actually have a bit over 1% in FG (but I select those myself). In 2015 the makeup of the loans given by LendingClub was A 17%, B 26%, C 28%, D 15%, E 10%, F and G 4%.

Sadly Lending Club uses fragile coding practices that result in sections of the site not working sometimes. Using existing filters often fails for me – the code just does nothing (it doesn't even bother to provide feedback to the user on what it is failing to do). Using fragile coding practices sadly is common for web sites with large budgets. Instead of using reliable code they seems to get infatuated with cute design ideas and don't bother much making the code reliable. You can code the cute design ideas reliably but often they obviously are not concerned with the robustness of the code.
The 20 publicly traded companies with the largest market capitalizations. Since my October 2015 list of the 20 most valuable stocks many of the market caps have declined significantly.
|Market Capitalization
|$541 billion
|Alphabet (GOOGL)
|$496 billion
|$412 billion
|Exxon Mobil
|$341 billion
|Berkshire Hathaway
|$329 billion
|$311 billion
|$300 billion
|Johnson & Johnson

Apple lost $131 billion in market cap since my October post. Alphabet (Google) lost just $1 billion in market cap, and for a short time moved past Apple into the top stop. Facebook achieved a rare increase during this period, gaining $16 billion and moving up 1 spot on the list. All the top 10 most valuable companies are based in the USA once again.
The next ten most valuable companies:
|Market Capitalization
|$226 billion
|$226 billion
|China Mobile
|$219 billion
|$216 billion
|JPMorgan Chase
|$214 billion
|Procter & Gamble
|$211 billion
|$209 billion
|Industrial & Commercial Bank of China
|$206 billion*
|$195 billion
|Petro China
|$191 billion
Market capitalization shown are of the close of business February 26th, as shown on Google Finance.
The 11th to 20th most valuable companies includes 4 USA companies, 3 Chinese companies and 3 Swiss companies. Toyota fell from 20th to 25th and was replaced in the top 20 by Verizon, which resulted in the USA gaining 1 company and costing Japan their only company in the top 20. Pfizer also dropped out and was replaced by Walmart.
The total value of the top 20 decreased by $189 billion since my October post: from $6.054 trillion to $5.865 trillion. Since my October 2014 post of the 20 most valuable companies in the world the total value of the top 20 companies has risen from $5.722 trillion to $5.865 trillion, an increase of $143 billion. The companies making up the top 20 has changed in each period.

It has been over 10 years since I originally posted my 10 stocks for 10 years portfolio. 7 of those 10 are still in my portfolio for the next 10 years.
Since April of 2005, the portfolio Marketocracy calculated annualized rate or return is 7.1% (the S&P 500 annualized return for the period is 6.9%). Marketocracy subtracts the equivalent of 2% of assets annually to simulate management fees – as though the portfolio were a mutual fund. Without that fee, the return beats the S&P 500 annual return by about 220 basis points annually (9.1% to 6.9%).
Since the last update, I have added Gilead to the portfolio. I also dropped PetroChina and Templeton Dragon fund (as I had mentioned I would do).
The current stocks, in order of return:
|Current Return
|% of sleep well portfolio now
|% of the portfolio if I were buying today
|Amazon – AMZN
|Google – GOOG
|Danaher – DHR
|Apple – AAPL
|Toyota – TM
|Intel – INTC
|Pfizer – PFE
|Cisco – CSCO
|Abbvie – ABBV
|Gilead – GILD
The current marketocracy results can be seen on the Sleep Well marketocracy portfolio page.

I make some adjustments to the stock holdings over time (selling of buying a bit of the stocks depending on large price movements – this rebalances and also lets me sell a bit if I think things are getting highly priced. So I have sold some Amazon and Google as they have increased greatly (and I have added to ABBV and GILD at nice prices). These purchases and sales are fairly small (resulting in an annual turnover rate under 2%).
I would consider selling Cicso. I also would like to find a good natural resource stock or two if I can find good stocks. I do feel the portfolio is too concentrated in technology and medical stocks so I am would choose a stock with a different focus if it were close to as good as an alternative focused on technology or health care, but I will also buy great companies at good prices even if that results in a less diverse portfolio.
I don't try and sell significant portions of the portfolio and have a large cash balance to time the market. I will, however, sell some of the individual positions if I think the price is very high (or to rebalance the portfolio a bit).
The market has gone down a fair amount recently and may go down more. It may be in that downdraft I will find a nice candidate to add at an attractive price.
If you wonder why the Apple return isn't higher, I debated adding it at the outset but decided against it. So I only started adding Apple in 2010 and added to that position over the next several years.
* Marketocracy seems to have messed up the returns for Google (probably due to the split); this is sad as their purpose for me is to calculate returns, but my guess is between 350-450%

Today there are more ways to invest your money than ever before. Alternative investments can help provide counterweights to more common investments.
Historical documents are important pieces of cultural memorabilia that are sought after by personal collectors, museums and universities. Given the prestige of the collectors, historical documents can go for top dollar. In one recent example, Bill Gates purchased the Codex Leicester for over $30 million.
Historical documents can be a great addition to any portfolio, but one word of caution: authenticity is critical. Far too many investors have been bamboozled by counterfeit documents. Raab Collection, an internationally recognized proprietor of historical documents, stresses the importance of due diligence. When they help clients such as the Library of Congress build their collections, every step possible is taken to authenticate a document before striking a deal.
Here are four other factors that should be considered before making your first historical document investment:
Plan for Preservation
The older historical documents get the more valuable they become – as long as they are properly preserved. The condition of the document is second only to authenticity when it comes to value.
Before you take ownership of a historical document, it's a good idea to have a plan in place for how the document will be stored. Documents should be kept in waterproof, airtight containers that protect the fibers from the elements. UV radiation can also degrade paper overtime, which is why storing historic documents out of direct sunlight is always advised.
Protecting Your Investment
Unlike stocks and mutual funds, physical assets can be destroyed or stolen. Historical documents have to be treated like fine art. They should be insured and some form of theft protection should be put in place. Documents can be stored in a fireproof lockbox and/or stored in a bank safe under lock and key.
Get Documents Appraised
Professional appraisals are important for historical collectables. An appraisal will give you an official estimate of the value, which can be used for securing insurance. Appraisals also give you a better idea of an acceptable price when it comes time to sell off your investment.
Keep Track of the Market and Trends
You won't be checking stats daily like the stock market, but keeping up with historical document sales is needed to ensure you make the best decisions for your investment. After all, making money on investments hinges on knowing when to buy and when to sell. Knowing what's happening in the market will help you determine when the time is ripe to sell or whether you should hold onto your asset a little longer. Demand for historical documents tends to be higher than supply, but catching things right when interest is trending upward can help you make the most profit possible.
Historical and autographed documents have always been popular collectibles, but now more people are beginning to realize their investment potential. Every year countless documents are sold privately and at auction for thousands and even millions of dollars. Investors that seek professional guidance before buying and take care to preserve their asset will be able to grow their portfolio or retirement nest egg by simply holding on to a piece of history.
In general alternative investments (historical documents, art, coins, collectibles etc.) should make up a small portion, under 5%, of an investment portfolio. Another investment that isn't quite normal, but isn't really considered a normal investment either is peer to peer loans. We have written about peer to peer loans several times on this blog recently, I would consider under 5% for peer to peer loans acceptable but would consider that part of the bond portion of a portfolio.
Peer to peer lending has grown dramatically the last few years in the USA. The largest platforms are Lending Club (you get a $25 bonus if you sign up with this link – I don't think I get anything?) and Prosper. I finally tried out Lending Club starting about 6 months ago. The idea is very simple, you buy fractional portions of personal loans. The loans are largely to consolidate debts and also for things such as a home improvement, major purchase, health care, etc.).
With each loan you may lend as little as $25. Lending Club (and Prosper) deal with all the underwriting, collecting payments etc.. Lending Club takes 1% of payments as a fee charged to the lenders (they also take fees from the borrowers).
Borrowers can make prepayments without penalty. Lending Club waives the 1% fee on prepayments made in the first year. This may seem a minor point, and it is really, but a bit less minor than I would have guessed. I have had 2% of loans prepaid with only an average of 3 months holding time so far – much higher than I would have guessed.
On each loan you receive the payments (less a 1% fee to Lending Club) as they are made each month. Those payments include principle and interest.
Lending Club provides you a calculated interest rate based on your actual portfolio. This is nice but it is a bit overstated in that they calculate the rate based only on invested funds. So funds that are not allocated to a loan (while they earn no interest) are not factored in to your return (though they actually reduce your return). And even once funds are allocated the actual loan can take quite some time to be issued. Some are issued within a day but also I have had many take weeks to issue (and some will fail to issue after weeks of sitting idle). I wouldn't be surprised if Lending Club doesn't start considering funds invested until the loan is issued (which again would inflate your reported return compared to a real return), but I am not sure how Lending Club factors it in.
