Stupid and insane. Bakura is an idiot in this fic. Warnings for swearing and violence.
Bakura vs. Furball
I have been particularly horrific to Ryou lately and, as my soul has strangely developed that cancerous-thing called a conscious, I wish to apologise to a degree by means of a gift. I have a deficiency with getting the word 'sorry' out of my mouth so acting rather than saying is needed to relay the sentiment.
I just need to figure out what to steal for him now, because there is no way in hell that I am paying for anything, even if the money is stolen. It would feel unnatural and wrong. Ryou's birthday is in two days so I will be killing two birds with one stone. Hmm. I like that saying. Perhaps I could steal two male birds and watch them fight to the death before actually getting a real present. Oh, pets!
Hikari-twerp likes animals so a pet is the perfect idea. Right. I will get a pet and present it to Ryou then I can return to my terrorizing-cycle guilt-free. Yes. Good plan.
I ponder what pet would be suitable as walk to pet shop. I need something small enough that I can steal easily and pleasant-looking enough to avoid rejection. Ryou wouldn't dare say he didn't like my gift unless he had a death wish but I wish to do this right so will ensure a certain degree of loveliness in the pet. Urgh. Foul word. Feel dirty. I'm going to have to scrub myself when get home now damnit.
I'm at the pet shop now and feeling a little overwhelmed. The whole place smells horrible and there are children running around screaming in an uncomfortably hyperactive manner. I wish to hide but I won't as I am a badass and they will fear me when they get to know me. I step on a few kids as I walk through their midst to get the point that I am *evil* across.
Animals on the right hand side of the store are too big to hide so I will have to get something small. Ah! I have found tanks of creepy things that look cool; little lizards or similar. They all have flat feet and are attached to the glass with fat little tongues.
I can see pale green one that would be considered cute if I were able to successfully gauge such a thing so I have decided to get that one. A quick glance around confirms that I am alone in the aisle. The horrible florescent lighting is making my eyes and head hurt so this will not be accomplished with my usual finesse, but I will grab the animal all the same.
I have pried open the top of the tank and stuck my hand inside. Lizards can apparently move faster than I had previously anticipated but I refuse to be beaten. I have grabbed the pale green lizard now. Damnit! The little shit spun around and has now sunk its' minute teeth deep into finger. My blood is leaking into the tank and spilling over the sawdust. I strongly wish to decapitate, drown or burn the lizard.
Lizard effectively attached to my finger so none of those options are feasible at the moment. I extract my hand from the tank, with the lizard attached, as wiggling my hand about from the wrist doesn't work to disengage its' jaws. Instead, I snap my entire arm out very violently and watch with satisfaction as the lizard flies across the width of the aisle before hitting the opposite shelf, landing on floor and skittering under the displays.
The little sod took a bit of my flesh away with him so I am inclined to think that an animal without teeth would be better for Ryou. Glancing around again as I try to stem the blood-flow and get myself to stop cursing in Egyptian as it is pointless, I see some really nifty floating animals.
Getting closer to see how such a trick is accomplished, I forget about my missing finger-part as I walk. The little creatures come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours and all look tame and toothless. I have decided that I like them and want one. There is a tank full of fat, orangey-gold colour ones so I will get one of those.
The tops to these glass tanks are easier to remove but I have found the contents to be wet and cold. I roll up my sleeve, as it is getting clingy, and then shove my hand inside. These animals move faster than the lizards so I have to trap one against the glass and then drag it up towards myself. The animal jumps in my hand, which is amusing, but does not blink which is creepy.
Shrugging at the lack of blinking, I shove the wet, squishy animal into my trouser pocket and walk out. The creature squirms in my pocket as I walk and it feels weird so I take it out as I get outside. The animal doesn't jump anymore; it writhes now. It stops entirely as I stare at it and I feel pleased that I have taught it a trick already. I have found an animal that both jumps and plays dead.
Hmm. Animal has not moved for a little while now. Might be dead. Smells funny. It's dead then. Damn it!
Returned to pet shop and I am now staring at multiple animals with a thundering cloud above head and blood on my hands. I disposed of the remains of the dead animal by presenting to a small child outside as a gift. I am pleased that hiding the body took so little effort. Feel proud. I have not lost my touch over the years.
Hearing a tittering in the vicinity of my knees I look down. I spend a few minutes watching a bunch of little furballs running around in circles and looking stupid as a squeaky wheel seemingly brings them much amusement. I have decided that I will get a stupid furball and call it Pharaoh. Heh. I like that joke. It is both funny and insulting.
I have decided to study furballs before attempting to capture one, as there seems to be rules on how to handle each different type of creature. Right. The big fat furball picks up the little furballs by some loose skin on the backs of their necks and carries them around before plonking them back down again two inches away from their original position.
I refuse to handle furballs in my mouth but will carry them using the scruff of their necks as not only does is make a furball go still but it also keeps the snapping mouth with alarmingly large front teeth far away from my hands. I don't even bother to look around now as my mood has deteriorated to that of axe-murderer so I just reach in and grab a gold furball. It has a pink nose, tiny pink feet and curls up as I stare at it imposingly. It fears me. Good. I am glad that it has learned early to that do not need to discipline it.
I walk past staring people out of the shop carrying the furball in a similar manner to a bag at my side, holding the soft furry-skin between my thumb and forefinger and swinging my arm a little to keep it amused as I walk.
I get home in good time but freeze in the doorway when a new thought hits me. What do I do with the furball now? Surely it cannot roam around house free; I would stand on it either by accident or when I was pissed off in general. After a few minutes of thought I decide to put the furball in the bath. It won't escape and I can put something for it to eat in there so that it won't die like the jumping thing did.
I move into the kitchen and put the furball on the table as I search for something for it to stuff its little face with. Tell it to 'stay' so it is fine to turn my back on it for a few minutes. I finally decide on an apple and turn around to present it to the furball only to find that it isn't there anymore.
I glance about the floor around my boots just in time to see a streak of gold flash past me and under the fridge. Putting the apple on table, I pinch the bridge of my nose as I feel a headache coming on. Getting onto my hands and knees I feel my pride shrivel and shove my hand under the fridge to get the furball back out.
The little sod bit me! And it won't let go! Damnit! Get it off! Ow!
I wrench my hand back out from under fridge and stare in blind rage at the furball hanging from the end of my finger. It has reopened the lizard wound too so I am most pissed off.
I snap my arm violently to the side to detach it in the same manner as the lizard and then yell wildly when I feel it tighten its' jaws on me rather than letting go.
Grabbing it with my free hand I squeeze the little body, listening intently for the satisfying snapping sounds that usually accompany this movement. Tiny claws scratch at my palm but I ignore it. Its' huge teeth recede from my flesh now and blood welling is from the wound, making it difficult to keep a firm hold on the squirming body.
Its' neck does an 'Exorcist' and I drop it out of surprise when it nips at the finger around it's scrawny little neck. Watching it land on the floor, I prepare to stamp on it but feel my insides twist horribly when it runs at me. It just ran up my trouser leg. Oh Ra it's on my skin and migrating north. I am really afraid to move now.
Despite the scratchy sensation, the psycho-furball's movements tickle a bit and I squirm to dispel a laugh that would sound alien as it would be neither cruel nor mocking. The movement makes the furball stop at a very intimate area and I freeze, afraid that it's planning something.
It just bit me. There is pain so great that I cannot see or think.
It's a delayed reaction as I scream five seconds after the initial bite and start running around in panicked circles trying to dislodge it. I grab the frying pan fully intending to beat it to death, bringing it down hard on where the furball is still sat.
The furball just moved back down my trouser leg and I have gained too much momentum to stop the frying pan. There's an eerie feeling as I watch what is going to be severe pain coming towards me. It is peculiar but I have no time to speculate as contact is imminent.
Oh holy fuck.
I take a few minutes on my knees to recover from the self-inflicted crippling pain before my eyes narrow to slits and I let loose a feral growl. I no longer wish to catch the furball to put in the bath as a present for my Hikari-twerp. I wish to catch the furball so that I can kill it.
I see it scamper into the living room and give chase after grabbing the roll of garden twine off of the counter. I was bored out of my metaphysical skull in the Ring for the millennia I was trapped there so I taught myself a few tricks to pass the time. Making and throwing a lasso was one of them.
The furball is sat in the middle of the carpet grooming itself now, probably to rid itself of my blood. I make my lasso out of the garden twine and set it in motion as I slowly approach the mutant-furball from Hell.
I throw it just as it moves and miss. Pulling it back I try again. I caught it! I snap my hand back but the furball is lighter than I expected and it comes flying at my head. Ow. I have lost sight in left eye now and the furball is in hair. The twine has been chewed off of the furball so drop it, as it is pointless to hold it now that there is my blood and pain to worry about.
Blindly making my way into kitchen, I turn on the taps for the sink, feeling the evil creature scratching against my skin and trying to make a bed out of my hair. After filling the sink with freezing cold water I dunk my entire head into it. The water helps to get my blood out of my left eye so when I surface I can see. The furball is no longer in my hair and I look into the sink in hopes of seeing it floating face down.
I am not so lucky. The furball is nowhere in sight. I glance around with my bangs slapping against my face to see it scamper out, bone dry, back into the living room. I have decided that more tact is necessary to capture the little git before I microwave it.
I rummage around the cupboards to hunt for the sticky paper that Ryou uses to catch flies. It is called flypaper but I like my name for it better as it is more appropriate. I find it and remove a sheet from the packet, which I then carry into the sitting room.
I sit on the sofa and stare at the sticky paper for a few minutes. Nothing is happening. I fetch more sticky paper and cover as much area as possible with it until I run out. I then return to my station on the sofa. I look next to myself for no real reason and see the furball sat on the cushion beside me staring at me. It isn't blinking. Creepy.
Lunging at it, I watch it jump off the sofa and land on the sticky paper. Unfortunately I follow and end up stuck to several sheets, my face next to the furball and both my hands stuck to the ground. I stand up and try to bat sticky paper off of face. The glue has stuck it to my hair so it is not going to be pleasant to remove.
I decide to worry about my hands first as some delicacy is going to be required here. The furball's face is stuck next to my right eye-socket so it fills half of my vision, but its' ear is stuck to the paper so it cannot bite me. It can only stare which is oddly worse.
I kneel down and put my boot on the sheet of paper stuck to the palm of my left hand. I wrench my hand away and then scream in pain. The sticky paper is now stuck to bottom of boot but it can stay there for all that I care. Repeating the process for my right hand, I grit my teeth as feel many layers of my skin being removed.
Setting my jaw to tackle the sticky paper stuck to the entire right side of my face, I hold the corners gingerly before taking a deep breath. I have evidently lost control of my body as my arms refuse to tear away the sticky paper. I curse myself and try again. Then I try after counting to three. I call myself a coward out loud and pull. I then scream in agony as my hair and skin is removed but the furball is no longer on my face so it was worth it.
I bring my hand up to my raw skin to rub at it and feel like crying when my hand sticks to my face. I pull my hand away but the movement causes my body to twirl around and I end up on my ass on the floor. I glance around to see if I have landed on furball because that would really make me feel better. Unfortunately I missed and it is still staring at me, mocking me.
I am going to kill it soon.
I put my other hand on my elbow to tug my hand off of my face. It works but now my left hand is attached to my right elbow. It takes several minutes and a ripped shirt to get it back off but I am no longer stuck to any parts of myself now and the furball is secured to the sticky paper so it can't go anywhere whilst I treat my wounds.
I shred the rest of my shirt and wrap my glue-covered hands in the material to prevent further stickiness before dabbing at my bleeding face with the leftover shirt. I have decided not to kill the furball; I have a far better idea for it.
Fetching a pair of tongs from the kitchen, I pick up the sticky paper with the furball on it by the corner, not taking my eyes off of the Spawn of Satan in case it tries something. I carry it outside totally ignoring the funny looks from the people in the street. I am able to ignore them because I have vowed myself their deaths by my sticky hands when I catch up with them as punishment for staring.
I finally reach my destination after a few minutes and set the sticky paper on the floor. I use the tongs to peel the furball off of the sticky paper, thoroughly enjoying the squeaks of pain it emits. Opening the letterbox, I thrust the furball inside with the tongs and listen to it hit the carpet and scurry away.
Stuffing the tongs back into my pocket, I decide to check back in a few hours to see how many injures the Pharaoh gets from the little bastard.

This is a great story wtih a great analysis of the aweful electronic medical records system.
Wow – its all I can say…
CNN has an article discussing how to get your student loans forgiven by entering into the public sector. Do we really want to encourage kids to put a drain on our universities to enter into the public sector, the sector well known for producing the worst results recorded? I don't think we need to waste tax dollars on state-funded universities and federally funded loan forgiveness. Can't those same kids find meaningful jobs in the private sector where their contributions would be more fully appreciated?
This is the first of a series of articles to debunk common misconceptions regarding economics. This article is regarding price gouging. It was triggered by this Ars article. The article complains that a cable company is changing the way it wants to sell its products, cable-based internet in this instance. Previously, people could subscribe to Time Warner's Cable (TWC) internet with no tangible bandwidth limit. This means they could download as much as they want per month. (Side note: most people download very little, only people downloading large quantities of video (10 per month) would come close to these the the proposed limits). Apparently, TWC has decided to charge $30 for a 5GB plan or $55 for a 40GB plan. Nate Anderson is whining that that is unfair for TWC to do. Many of the comments whine that things should be down to prevent this such as government legislation. All of this implies that TWC's customers deserve unlimited cable downloads for a price below what TWC is willing to sell it for. Well, I think I deserve you to sell me your car for $1. What's that? You don't like that? Well, too bad. I deserve it. You say that's crazy? Of course it is. Its just as crazy as TWC's customer whining about this. If you don't want to pay that price, don't buy from them. Buy Verizon's DSL service, DirecTV's sattelite internet service, one of many dialup services, or no internet at all. Its your choice. Its the beauty of the free market.
I liked this comic.
I reiterate my previous statement regarding police. Bad/corrupt/evil police officers make up only a small percentage of most police departments. Its the other cops that worry me because they not only don't take action to stop this behavior, but often times actively cover it up under the pretense of brotherhood.
Citizen Review Boards help keep departments in check. It sounds like Phoenix should look into it.

Title : Prolonged Afterglow of Aqueous Solutions of Proteins and Synthetic Polymers Irradiated with X-Rays,

Abstract : An attempt was made to detect afterglow in aqueous solutions of proteins and synthetic polymers. It was found that irradiation of solutions with doses of 1-10 krad at room temperature produces a feeble glow which continues for hundreds of seconds after the irradiation. The experiments were performed in an open-circulation setup. The solution was irradiated with x-rays in a thermostat-controlled (t = 25C) vessel and then rapidly pumped to a thermostat-controlled cuvette located in the neighborhood of the photocathode of photomultiplier. The photocurrent was amplified and the kinetic curves of afterglow were recorded on an electronic potentiometer. (Author)

Nice track...
...for trail riding-.-
That isn´t a WC DH track!
The track has until the end of April to deteriorate into a rutted out, blown out, suspension nightmare of a track if the trail crew allows it to happen. Plus that is what everyone said last year about Valnord when the first track video came out, and it turned into one of the best like tracks of the year. Give it time, I'm sure it will turn into the proper DH track that Australia deserves.

Alternative Dispute Resolution is a mechanism by which different types of legal disputes are resolved through out-of-court processes like arbitration, and mediation as an alternative to civil litigation. ADR methods can be effective in reducing the time, money, and adversarial nature associated with traditional court-based proceedings.
Searcy is the largest city and county seat of White County, Arkansas, United States. According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city is 20,663. It is the principal city of the Searcy, AR Micropolitan Statistical Area which encompasses all of White County. Like Searcy County, the city takes its name from Richard Searcy, a judge for the Superior Court of the Arkansas Territory. Mike Beebe, Arkansas' current governor and former state Attorney General (2003-2007), lived and worked in Searcy several years, both in private law practice (1972-1982) and while representing the area in the Arkansas State Senate (1982-2002). His wife, Ginger, is a native of Searcy. The Beebe-Capps Expressway, a notable thoroughfare in Searcy, is named after Mike Beebe and his fellow lawmaker, John Paul Capps, both of whom engineered the funds and political willpower to complete its construction. Searcy is the home of Harding University, a private college affiliated with the Churches of Christ and the state's largest private university. Harding College (its original name) moved to Searcy from Morrilton in 1934, having bought the campus of the defunct Galloway College, a Methodist college for women. Regional ice cream producer and distributor Yarnell Ice Cream Co. has its headquarters in the city's downtown area. Odell Pollard, state chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party from 1966-1970 and an ally of the late Governor Winthrop Rockefeller, practiced law in Searcy from 1950-2005. He was the Republican national committeeman from 1973-1976.

The Epilogue Book club is now reading "Ironweed" by William Kennedy.
We will meet on July 12th to discuss the book.
This was the second time I read "A Thousand Acres." So many years had passed since the first time I read it, I didn't remember many of the details of the story. But as the story enfolded, it all felt very familiar to me.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, but the story is so sad. The book starts up slowly – the author spends much time building the setting, describing the characters, and does a great job describing the family dynamics. Around the midpoint of the book, everything starts falling apart for the families that are central to the story. It is compelling and heart breaking to see how the family's carefully crafted façade begins to fall apart as the characters and family ties implode and eventually collapse.
I started reading Pulitzer Prize winning novels in April 2009, with a goal of reading all of the winning novels. I am working my way through the list, reading a Pulitzer Prize winner about every 4 to 6 weeks. Let me know if you'd like to join me!

Here's some useful information about books that all the avid readers out there might appreciate:
We've probably all bought books from Amazon.com, but there are lots of other places on the web where you can get cheap books*.
Don't forget about our local used bookstore, Douglasville Books, located at 7191 Douglas Blvd, Douglasville, GA (770.949.4363). If they've got the book, you probably won't find it anywhere cheaper.
*Thanks to Sandra for providing links to these great online sources for new and used books. Continue reading Reading on a Budget
The Epilogue Book Club had a great meeting yesterday to discuss "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" by Junot Diaz.
Most members agreed that the numerous footnotes and the prolific use of Spanish words and terms throughout the book made reading the book very challenging. Most agreed that having a glossary of Spanish words and terms used in the book would have helped. All-in-all, the book club thought the book was worthwhile reading.
I, personally, found the book to be quite thought provoking. I finished the book with tears in my eyes and the characters in the book stayed with me for several days afterwards.
We meet again at 2:00 pm on Sunday, May 31 to discuss "Gilead" by Marilynne Robinson. The location for the next meeting is still to be determined.
If you'd like to learn more about the Epilogue Book Club or join us to discuss the next book, please call me at 678.321.6526 or send me an email.
The Epilogue Book Club is reading Pulitzer Prize winning novels. To view our current reading list, see Epilogue Book Club: Current Reading List.

I'm a history geek. I love finding a good story to tell about interesting people and places in the past. I've traveled around the states for work (park ranger and historical interpreter) and around the world for fun and enlightenment. I love traveling to a new place, digging into its history, eating its food, and finding out what makes it special.
Most of my jobs have been outdoors, where I'm happiest. When I have to be inside, I like an old-fashioned pub, with good friends (or good strangers) and an engaging conversation. I've never been accused of keeping my opinions to myself or of being quiet. I love a healthy debate with an interested partner. My friends consist of an inexplicably high number of teachers, actors, seamstresses and costume/fashion designers.
I'm supposed to let you figure this out, but I'm an overly sentimental cynic who secretly wishes that life was as well scripted as an Aaron Sorkin drama or a quirky indie comedy.
I have no indoor voice.
My hair is long.
I have a beard.
**this section closed for renovations**
A story to tell
Fresh fruit
New experiences
I know that isn't six, but I can't think of a sixth thing I can't or haven't done without.
Also: politics, international relations, and whatever is growing in my garden.
(I'm a familiar face at a D.C. Social club that has recently reopened)
Sports movies make cry despite my utter disinterest in sports.
I only shave my beard when I am paid to do so.
You like quite pubs more than loud clubs.
You'd rather be lost in the woods than Lost in a city.
You like making the first move. (Knowing what you want and asserting your preference is a big turn on.)
You like swapping stories of international travel.
You know a good beer I should try.
Or, you think we could have an adventure together.

Purpose This paper aims to evaluate the robustness of the listing effect in Australia, that is whether acquisitions of private firms create more value to the bidding firm's shareholders than acquisitions of publicly listed firms. Design/methodology/approach The authors analyze the market reaction to the announcement of takeover bids initiated by Australian public firms on private and public targets over the period 1990-2011. The analysis controls for a wide range of bidder, deal and target country characteristics that are likely to correlate with the target's listing status and acquirer abnormal returns. The authors also use a selection model to address the endogenous choice of the target's listing status. Findings The results indicate that bidders experience significantly higher abnormal returns of about 1.7 per cent in the 11-day event window when the target is a private firm. The authors show that this result is broad-based and persistent. It does not appear to depend on whether the target is small or large; whether it is related or unrelated to the bidder's industry; whether it is in the resources sector; and whether the transaction is domestic or cross-border. They find some evidence that bidder returns might be stronger for larger acquisitions, for unrelated targets, and in poor market conditions such as in the wake of the recent global financial crisis. Research limitations/implications The research would benefit from the inclusion of the bidding firm's ownership and governance characteristics. Practical implications The results support the view that market frictions contribute to make private firms attractive targets. Originality/value The analysis confirms the pervasiveness of the listing effect in a market characterized by a lesser degree of competition, higher search costs and the significance of the natural resources sector.

© Zhao R, 2016. This paper presents the findings of the first study of the index effects from changes in the composition of Australia's tradeable benchmark index: the S&P/ASX 200. Prior to the introduction of the S&P/ASX200 changes to the composition of the market's (then) benchmark index (the All Ordinaries Index) became evident before the formal announcement dates and the changes were made the following trading day. These announcement arrangements enabled profitable front-running trading. Along with the introduction of the new indices (including the S&P/ASX200) the arrangements for announcing changes to the composition of the index were changed to remove the opportunity for profitable frontrunning trading. While this objective was largely met for additions to the index the study found statistically significant evidence of price pressure between the announcement and implementation dates which were partially offset over the subsequent 20-day period. In relation to deletions the study found negative abnormal returns prior to announcement dates as well as between the announcement and implementation dates that were partially reversed over the subsequent 20-day period. The overall conclusion is that the event of changes in the composition of the S&P/ASX200 is on average associated with positive abnormal returns for additions and negative abnormal returns for deletions.

© Ruoyun Lucy Zhao, 2016. The literature has reported significant abnormal returns associated with the announcements of dividend changes. Various hypotheses such as information signaling hypothesis, agency theory and wealth transfer hypothesis, have been suggested to explain the abnormal returns and volumes following the corporate stock dividend changes. The response of corporate bond, as a related security not subject to the immediate capitalization changes are used to provide evidence to help distinguish between the signaling and wealth transfer hypothesis. Corporate bonds have a significant decline in bond yields following dividend increase and a significant increase in bond yields following dividend decrease, supporting signaling hypothesis rather than wealth transfer effect.

Divestitures create shareholder value by helping firms to optimize their portfolio of assets. However, firms may forego value enhancing divestitures because of agency problems. More specifically, large controlling shareholders may prefer to retain the assets in order to extract private benefits of control at the expense of minority shareholders. In this paper, we explore the role that other blockholders play in constraining the largest shareholder's influence. The results indicate that divestiture activity decreases with the ownership of the largest shareholder. The presence of another significant blockholder appears to curb this negative bias towards divestitures. Our findings provide an economic rationale for the higher performance of firms characterized by more balanced ownership structures. Involvement of family owners also appears to provide similar benefits.

Studies over recent decades of the return effects for the stocks added to and deleted from the S&P 500 have documented the so-called `S&P game, where traders could profit from stock price reactions to changes in the indexs composition. Studies on the All Ordinaries Index covering the 1990s also found profitable trading opportunities over the pre-announcement period. Our study of the effects of changes in the composition of the S&P/ASX 200 from its introduction (in April 2000) to June 2009 found these pre-announcement opportunities were eliminated but that potential exists for the `S&P/ASX 200 game between announcement and implementation dates.

One explanation offered for stock splits is that the split signals positive information by reducing the stock price range in expectation of improved future prospects. Price declines also lead to changes in stock price dynamics, but related securities are not subject to these other changes and therefore can be used to provide a separate assessment of the markets interpretation of the split. We examine corporate bond issues around stock splits and find a significant decline in the bond yield spread following stock splits, supporting the signaling hypothesis. We also confirm improvements in forecasted and realized earnings subsequent to stock splits.

This paper explores the role of unobserved individual characteristics in the health-assets and health-portfolio correlations. We apply various econometrics models to a unique longitudinal dataset with rich information that allows for the exploitation of four different health indices. Our findings show strong cross-sectional correlations between health and both financial and non-financial assets, but these correlations seem to be mainly driven by heterogeneity as the correlations largely disappear in the fixed-effects model. Adverse health shocks, however, are found to motivate a safer portfolio choice even after individual fixed-effects are controlled for - a result consistent with the prediction made by the background risk theory. Our findings suggest that health shocks shift investment from risky assets toward other financial assets, but keep the total financial assets unchanged.
