Sebastien Loeb says Sebastien Ogier will succeed him as World Rally champion
Sebastien Loeb does not think anyone can stop Sebastien Ogier becoming the man to succeed him as World Rally champion.
Last Updated: 01/05/13 11:55am
Nine-time champion Loeb is running a partial schedule this season and he returns to action in the Rally of Argentina this weekend with Ogier already 54 points clear in the race for the title.
Ogier has won the last three events, beaten only by Loeb in Monaco, and his Volkswagen team has so far avoided the trouble that most others have been plagued by.
Loeb, who is seeking an eighth win in Argentina, said: "He seems very comfortable in his car, which is well born. It makes a good package. We knew he was very quick and so there is no real surprise (in his results).
"I don't think anyone can beat him. On paper, it looks like he will win the title very soon, but it's never finished before it is and we have also experienced seasons where fate and luck were going up and down.
"As far as I know from the team, the Polos have encountered a lot of technical problems, so they might have some [more of those] too."
Loeb hopes his return to action will result in victory - he won the 2013 season opener in Monte Carlo - but he fears a little rust having not raced in the last two rounds, dating back to early March.
"I haven't competed for two months and I am cautious," he added. "I don't know where I will stand after day one. But once the helmet is on, Daniel [Elena co-driver] and I will be motivated for the best result possible.
"Apart from one day of testing, I haven't driven on gravel since the 2012 Rally of Spain. I don't know what sort of feeling I'll have on the first few stages. I think that you can lose your rhythm pretty quickly, and that's why I'm cautious about my chances."

Thank you.
We've had one or two good wars, a bunch of stupid and/or evil ones, and several "good" ones that should have been avoided.
The older I get, the more I love the values of America's Founding Fathers, and the less I love our history of militarism.
This isn't to take anything away from the bravery and sacrifice of our heroes, but
* Spanish American War – pure aggression
* Civil War – fought to establish the principle that no one can ever opt out of American government ever again. Yes, slavery was evil…yet slavery disappeared everywhere in the Western World within 20 years. Why did millions need to die?
* World War I – a Progressive crusade of no value to Americans, helped to create and cement the Imperial American State
* World War II – the worst enemies we have ever fought, and we did insanely huge amounts of good work by fighting them … but why, exactly, did we step in to a fight between two left wing dictatorships in Europe? To save England, to some degree. And why did Churchill stick his nose in? In an alternate universe Hitler exiled the Jews to Madagascar, Hitler and Stalin bled each other white, and the US never created the modern military industrial system.
* Korea and Vietnam – would not have happened at all if FDR hadn't propped up his good friend "Uncle Joe", then handed the Soviets all of Eastern Europe.
* Gulf War I and II – accomplished what, exactly?
Bravery and sacrifice in defense of freedom and homeland is deeply American.
Sacrifice in pointless oversees empire-building wars is not.
On WWI, we largely got pulled into it by Germany. I believe the last straw was the Kaiser trying to incite Mexico to invade us. The real problem was we parleyed our post-victory position into the Treaty of Versailles.
I highly recommend The Guns of August, for background on how WWI got started. It was really a case of weapons grade stupidity on all sides.
You forget that Hitler, like Stalin wanted to control the _entire_ world. He understood, as do all too few on the Least and Left Coasts that as long as _anyone_ knows an alternative exists, tyrants are not safe. WWI came about because a group of Lunatics wanted to have no government at all. A series of treaty obligations caused it to spread.
The "Civil Ear" happened in large part because the Southern Slave owners wanted to protect _and_ grow spread the use of slaves. They refused to acknowledge that it was a dead end economic society. They were so in love with their power and prestige as slave owners that they wouldn't even consider any other path. They recognized that the North was beating them as a society and manufacturing base, but couldn't/wouldn't accept it. The North, OTOH, wasn't willing to accept anything but an industrialized society. Neither had clean hands, in starting or fighting the war. Finally, the requirements to _join_ the Union, imply the same to _leave_ it. Something the prideful South would never acknowledge.
The principles are very easy to understand. 5 people start a partnership, and go into business. One day, 2 decide they don't want to be partners, and take 40% of everything and leave. Never mind that they take property properly belonging to _all 5_, instead of only what they actually own. Then, when the other 3 call police to get back the property belonging to all, the "leaving partners" start a fight. Whining about how their "rights were violated." Never mind the rights of the other 3, it's *their* rights that are all important. Just like The Least and Left Coasts are today. "We're the only ones who count, and we can abuse the rest of you at will." It doesn't and can never work that way.
Korea, like GWI started because a *diplomat* said. "It's not our problem." That gave a power mad dictator "permission" to attack a victim. GWII was because Saddam Hussein didn't learn anything from GWI. The kind of "thinking" that calls them "pointless" is where I part company with the Libertarian Party. I DO NOT need to wait until the abusive drunk/druggie down the street is assaulting _my_ family, or me, to take action. He, or she, Can and SHOULD have it made clear that she, or he' behaves him/herself. IOW, "Act in a way that threatens me or mine, and you won't act again." Anyone not terminally stupid understands that. Especially, if they know that it isn't an empty threat. You don't have to "look for trouble," but you must be willing to prevent it.
I used to live in Downtown Indianapolis, and use crutches. I would go walking at 2:00 A.M. in neighborhoods that even police went in pairs. I have NEVER been robbed/assaulted/bothered. My attitude was always. "If you want what I have, one, or both, of us is going to the hospital." That's why the Libertarian "non aggression policy" is a textbook policy of failure. Predators recognize *only* force used against them, *or the credible threat of such.*
Just like fighting a fire, the time to stop a predator, is before they are in your house. Hitler/Stalin/ Mao/Pol Pot, all could have been stopped before they got bigger. They weren't because people didn't want to _believe_ they were dangerous. Only a fool tries to argue with a lion or tiger. Yet that is exactly what too many will try to do. Instead of following a common sense approach.
The sensible LP approach is very simple, and not all theoretical. "Don't mess with me or mine, and I will leave you alone. If you do, I will teach you a lesson." Survival of that lesson is optional. I've had occasion to use that approach way too many times, dealing with people that didn't want to do their jobs, or abused their power. In every case, they learned their lesson, at great cost to themselves. The sad truth is that too many wars happened because some politician, or troublemaker, didn't get that message, and no one wanted to "offend" them, by making it clear. So, young men and women died to salve some idiot's theories that have never, and _can never_ work.
Other than the fact that I look around and fail to see this empire we built…
I don't disagree, for the most part, and have argued the pointlessness of WW2 (it's actually not hard) but when I've done so it has been as a *device* to illustrate that the arguments against our recent actions in the Middle East could as well be made for other wars that are usually viewed as "Good."
On some elemental, fundamental level… standing peacefully and dying will result in less overall tragedy and destruction. Letting the bad guys win, letting the oppression continue, letting threats grow, submission… subjugation… can we really *really* justify resistance even to that? Of course not. What difference does it make if it's Saddam filling mass graves with his enemies, gassing Kurds, or wiping Marsh Arabs from the face of the Earth… or if it's Americans dropping bombs and people still die? Dead people are still dead. The total destruction might even be much greater than it would have otherwise been. If Hitler killed every Jew, would the body count be greater than WW2 or would it be less? I'm betting that it would be less.
So let me share the reason for any of it. It's to put evil on notice. When Patrick Henry said give me liberty or give me death, he put oppression on notice, that people would willingly pay MORE than any oppressor could ever consider reasonable. And it's not reasonable. Would it have been so bad to remain under British rule? Was it worth a single life? How could it have been worth a single life? You see *reason* in the defense of freedom and homeland but there IS NO REASON. None. Not in defense of freedom and homeland.
You have to apply the same metric to all military conflicts. Or not apply it to any.
We NEEDED to attack those who attacked us on 9-11. We NEEDED to respond to Japan. We NEEDED to go to war against Hitler. We NEEDED to invade Iraq. Why? To put anyone who would attack us on notice. To put everyone ELSE on notice that ONCE WE START ROLLING we are a juggernaut… and we might not stop until they are crushed under the wheels of our tanks, too. Even if just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This is not a GAME. Every time we wuss out, back track, retreat with our tail between our legs, leave our allies to swing in the wind… because someone became un-freaking-comfortable… we're setting up the next hot-head who convinces himself that we won't DO anything, that our own people will undermine our will and confuse our purpose, and it doesn't even take a stupid *nation* anymore. All it takes is a few guys on airplanes or one fellow with a dirty bomb or vial of nerve poison and a cause.
When Gen Mattis talked to Iraqi leaders he didn't say… "I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll feel conflicted and rethink my purpose in life." He said… "I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll kill you all."
The purpose is to put people, nations, and evil on notice… to shape the shit up, because you're not going to like what happens if you don't. It's to put anyone on notice that our response is going to be all way the heck out of proportion.
If we were proportionate or rational, we'd prefer slavery to death.
Thank you, you put that into words better than I could have.
"Civil War – fought to establish the principle that no one can ever opt out of American government ever again. Yes, slavery was evil…yet slavery disappeared everywhere in the Western World within 20 years. Why did millions need to die?"
As an aside: "millions" did not die in the Civil War. The estimated death toll is something like 700,000.
We can argue til the cows come home about why the Civil War was fought. It's at least as accurate to say that the war was fought because the southern states wouldn't leave well enough alone. Had they simply said "we're leaving" and left, that might have been the end of it. Everything else might have been settled at the negotiating table. But instead, they fired the first shots, bombarding Fort Sumter and seizing all US federal property in Southern states. Those are acts of war, and in those days, "act of war" meant WAR.
As for why WW2: regardless of why England went to war against Germany, it _was_ an ally, and even then America's leaders understood what a foulness the Nazi regime was. Taking England's side against Germany was such an obviously right thing to do that I'm honestly surprised you would question it. You can justifiably quarrel with the _way_ that FDR chose to do it — we were effectively at war with Germany in the Atlantic three months before Pearl Harbor — but I don't see any good reason to question why we did it at all. Then Hitler declared war on the US within hours of Pearl Harbor, and sent U-boats to attack American coastal shipping, and we didn't have much of a choice anymore.
Hitler intended to ethnically cleanse Europe and kill or relocate millions to make room for the so called Aryan race. He regarded the U.S. as a dangerous nation, but was looking toward doing the same here.
In the end we would have to fight Hitler.
> In the end we would have to fight Hitler.
In the end we never fought Stalin.
The two are not comparable. WWII was a hot conflict, with the USSR nominally our ally, because if Hitler was able to unite all of Europe against them, they were screwed.
AFTER WWII, we had nukes. We could destroy them even if they hit us first. So the two situations cannot be compared with each other. Had we not countered them in other countries during the Cold War, they would have eventually gained enough dominance that they COULD attack us with impunity. Don't know if they would, because by then, they would have been powerful enough to pretty much do what they pleased.
> AFTER WWII, we had nukes. We could destroy them even if they hit us first.
So you're arguing that containment as a strategy only works if one has nukes?
Yet the strategy goes back to antiquity. For one relatively recent example, see The Great Game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Game
Choosing containment over confrontation (or vice versa) has nothing to do with the weapons technology.
The Assertion that the Nazis were seeking world domination is not, IMO, supportable by the evidence. Certainly it wasn't achievable. Given that they were explicitly anti-capitalist, waiting for them to implode – the way we waited out the USSR – would have been an entirely reasonable strategy.
No it doesn't require nukes, what it does require is the ability to annihilate the opposition, and for the opposition to believe you will do so if they cross the line. Nukes accomplished that for us for quite a while, but currently a large portion of the world doesn't believe we would actually pull the trigger on the nukes.
I disagree with you on your view of most of the wars except the Civil War, I would really like to agree wholeheartedly with you on the Civil War. Unfortunately the South did fire the first shots, now I believe that they did so because they didn't believe the North was going to allow them to secede, but because they did so the rights of states to secede will always remain murky at best, at least until some more states attempt it.
As my husband, a navy veteran, says, "we (meaning those fighting) don't get to choose our wars." Thank you Sarah for remembering those who fought and continue to do so.

For Stephen Strasburg's first game in Atlanta, we asked you to provide song suggestions to Matthew Kaminski, the organist for the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field.
Kaminski seeks tips from fans and tries to match up songs to visiting players and pitchers.
The Nationals face the Braves this week for a three game series and you'll have another chance to show-off of your cleverness. Scott Olsen, Livan Hernandez and John Lannan are the probable starters, so that's a good place to start.
Tweet to @BravesOrganist to send him your ideas, but feel free to brainstorm here too.

Easy, no one caught you making that ugly face, we just know it. Because, you're not alone in doing all that crazy stuff when you think no one's looking. Turns out, it's like an unwritten book of rules, and someone, somewhere spilled the beans.
Probably a group of girls decided to speak up and share experiences, and The Talko decided to inform the world. But that's not a bad thing. At least now you know you're not the only one stalking your ex's ex. And her ex.
Do you fit anywhere in this video?

Miles Head had an eventful first game with the Single A Salem Red Sox. Soon after being called up from Greenville, he played in his first game for Salem and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI.
"It's the same game when you get down to it," Head said.
After the game, during an interview, Head got a celebratory shaving cream pie in the face from one of his teammates. He shrugged his shoulders.
"That's what you get for being the young guy," he said with a laugh.

For the past ten days, ever since the gala opening of my ultimate portfolio, our inboxes have been packed with your comments and questions.
So in an intensive Q&A session at the Weiss TV studios, Associate Editor Mike Burnick was kind enough to ask those questions on your behalf, while I did my best to provide immediate, but thoughtful, answers.
Mike Burnick: Martin, let's start with questions related to all the big numbers you've given us. This week, I think you've surprised a lot of people when you talked about a total return of 613%* and when you talked about the idea of beating Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway by over four to one since 2005. So one question we're getting a lot is: How consistent was that growth?
Martin Weiss: Quite consistent. In its worst year — in the depths of the most severe recession since the Great Depression — my model portfolio was down only 6.2%, compared to Berkshire Hathaway, which was down 51.2% in that same year, or over eight times more.
And on the flip side, our average total return for the entire period, including the recession — was UP 58.7 percent per year! Theirs was less than one-fourth of that.
Mike: Here's a question that's typical of what some readers are asking this week.
"The stock market has been down this week.
How has that affected your portfolio so far?"
Martin: Hardly at all.
Mike: Why not?
Martin: Because we're 83% in cash, and the small positions we do have are at the very top of our A+ companies, the safest among the 12,000 or so we review daily.
Mike: Will you be jumping in full force soon?
Martin: I don't make those kinds of decisions ahead of time. Every day, I get a series of reports from our computer models and my team:
One report tells me if we've identified the beginning of a bear market. And so far, the answer is that, although we may have a correction, it's too soon to call a shift in the big-picture trend.
Mike: Once it does, if anyone knows how to protect capital and even make money in a decline, it's got to be the Weiss organization.
Martin: Yes. The second report gives me a unique list — not only stocks that merit a Weiss Stock Rating of A+ but also those that rank at the very pinnacle of our Weiss Performance Index, that are making the most money for investors in terms of price appreciation and dividends. And a third report does essentially the same for ETFs.
So with these last two reports, I select investments that hold up well in minor declines. And with the first report, I can protect the portfolio from major declines.
Mike: Let's talk about retirement. A lot of our questions are from readers planning for retirement or already in retirement. So this kind of growth is very intriguing to them, because the other solutions that they're seeing are unacceptable. One woman asks:
"Which solution do you prefer, Dr. Weiss:
Ridiculously low yield … or ridiculously high risk?"
Martin: Neither, of course. With the first so-called "solution," you're supposed to plop your money into bank CDs or something equivalent. But what good does that do you? Even if you have a nest egg of say, $500,000, and even if you could find a bank that gives you 2% interest, all you get each year is $10,000. How the heck do you pay the mortgage and buy food with $10,000?!
Mike: All you'd need is one or two MRIs that Medicare won't cover and poof! All your income is gone!
Martin: Right. And the second solution is even worse. You go for a high-risk strategy of some kind or you get caught in a bear market, and suddenly, your principal is gutted in half, which …
Mike: …which sets you back even further.
Martin: So NOW, with half your principal gone, now you go for the low yield option? If you do that, how long is it going to take you to recoup, just to get back to square one? Do the math!
Mike: You're down $250,000. And you're making how much? 2% per year?
Martin: Right. And you want to recoup your $250,000 loss.
Mike: OK.$250,000 at 2%. That gives you $5,000 in interest per year. And you want to make back your $250,000. 250 divided by five. It's going to take you fifty years!? Wow! That's mindboggling.
Martin: It is. And this is the great dilemma of our times. So the only true solution is something that gets you away from these absurd Faustian choices, something that takes you to an entirely different place. That's what our goal is here. Faster growth without bigger risk, in fact, with less risk overall.
Mike: Well said. The next question comes from a reader who apparently knows you as a publisher, but not yet as an investment analyst. He's asking about your background. Why don't you share with our viewers how you founded the company in 1971.
|Irving Weiss, father of the founder and a stock analyst since 1929, at his Wall Street office, circa 1966.
Martin: Yes, 1971 was the year I founded my company, Weiss Research. That was 43 years ago.
But about six years before that, I began working with my father in his investment research company, and then we worked in my company.
Mike: From what I've heard, that must have been quite an experience.
Martin: It was. Dad wasn't just a good father. He was also a good friend, teacher, mentor, and partner. Working closely with him wasn't just a great education for me. It was also a great education for all our researchers and analysts at Weiss Research.
Mike: I've read your book. And it seems he was probably the only person in history who saved investors from the bear market of the crash of 1929 and then saved them again from bank failures in the 1930s.
Martin: Yes, but what most people seem to forget is that in the Depression, he was also one of the first to get his clients back into the market.
He got them into blue chip stocks right near the bottom of the long bear market.
He helped investors pick up gold stocks that doubled and doubled again.
He advised Joe Kennedy, the father of JFK, to buy silver when it was selling for something like 20 cents an ounce.
He told clients to buy America's best electric utilities, when they hit their rock bottom a few years later, just before World War II. No one wanted utilities back then. So they were selling for pennies.
All that was before I was born. I didn't come along until right after the war. But as soon as I was old enough to understand, he began telling me bedtime stories about his exploits on Wall Street and he actually made them very exciting. And as soon as I could do the arithmetic, he began to show me how to analyze companies. That was his great skill.
Mike: Martin, you've just opened enrollment for our new service, Martin's Ultimate Portfolio, and one gentleman who saw your last video is asking:
"Martin, you've introduced us to other services.
But in this one, you seem to be more involved.
Why is that?"
Martin: Because my ultimate portfolio is the fulfillment of a lifelong ambition, a lifelong dream. To me it's the ultimate reward, like a pot of gold at the end of a long journey.
You see, for many years, my father and I manually analyzed just a handful of companies every quarter. My dream was to develop systems that could help us accurately review thousands of companies every day and then create a portfolio around it.
So for the last 30 years or so, I've been leading various teams — each team with one analyst and one computer programmer, one team for banks, one team for insurance companies, one team for stocks, and so on.
Mike: To generate ratings on them.
Martin: Exactly. To build smart, very smart, computer models that issue accurate ratings. We started with the banks in the early 1980s, then insurance companies in the late 1980s, and then stock ratings in 2003.
That was 11 years ago. So now, we've been validating the accuracy of the stock ratings, in real time, for over a decade.
And now, based on that experience, and with 10 years of data to get it as close to 100% as we're ever going to, I can say, with a high degree of confidence, that the place and time is here and now. It's finally the right moment to open up my ultimate portfolio.
That's also why I'm personally in charge of its implementation and why I'm investing in it myself — with my own money.
But I couldn't do it without our team of stock analysts and programmers. So thank you, Mike, for being an important member of that team.
Mike: Thank you, Martin. But while we're on the subject of the Weiss Stock Ratings, I have a question of my own.
The Wall Street Journal once reported that the Weiss Stock Ratings beat everyone — that your ratings were number one in the nation in terms of performance.
I have the report right here. You beat the research departments of Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and every major Wall Street brokerage firm or bank in the study. Why is that?
Martin: The main reason is that the Wall Street firms were conflicted. In effect, they got payola by making money off the companies they rate, and sometimes still do.
Mike: But in this Wall Street Journal report, the performance of your stock ratings also beat all the independent firms who did not have conflicts of interest. Why is that?
Martin: Because safety is such an important part of what we do. The other research firms that issue ratings, whether they're conflicted or independent, typically focus mostly on profits. We look very, VERY carefully at both profits and safety.
Mike: Here's a question we got about ratings: "I know all about your Weiss ratings and I use them all the time. But with your ultimate portfolio, it seems you're taking a step further?"
Martin: Yes, a giant step further! My ultimate portfolio goes far beyond our published letter grades because it ranks the stocks by an index we do not publish. I'm talking about our performance index, which is a model based on how much money investors are making in the stock right now.
That way, we can buy strictly the current top, top ten performers among the 700 or so that we consider safe and liquid. We're so selective — so, so picky — we will consider buying only one-tenth of one percent of all the investments we cover. And then, when the top ten list changes, we adjust the portfolio accordingly.
Mike: Good. I have a lot more questions here from readers. So let me just quote them. Let me be their voice, so to speak.
"You talk lot about wars and the terrorism, and you say it's going to get worse. So why invest in stocks to begin with? Shouldn't you be just buying things like gold?"
Martin: I do that too — whenever a mining stock appears in the top ten of our list. Ditto for precious metals ETFs. As to buying other stocks, please keep this in mind: The turmoil is overseas. So it's driving a flood of smart investors with a lot of money into the U.S. markets. And what are they seeking to buying?
Mike: Quality. They're running away from risk. So they want quality.
Martin: Yes! They're looking to buy the best, most liquid investments they can lay their hands on — the same kind of investments we buy. But we have a big advantage over them because we have such powerful, accurate selection tools.
"I've got an IRA. Can I trade along
with your ultimate portfolio?"
Martin: Yes, every investment we buy is suitable for IRAs. Besides, this is not a high-risk strategy that goes for flashy one-up trades. It is designed to build wealth rapidly, but to do so steadily, over time. And you can do this especially well in a tax-protected account like an IRA.
"Your father is legendary for having made a killing in the bear market of the 1930s. But making a killing in the NEXT stock market crash, whenever that may be, doesn't seem to be your primary goal. Why not?"
Martin: Because you don't have to. In bear markets, all you need to do is preserve your capital, and that alone puts you well ahead of everyone else in the market. Then, when the market recovers, you can truly jump far ahead of the averages. The numbers I've given you for my model portfolio prove both of these points.
"What is a prudent strategy for a bear market?"
Martin: Before you go there, you need a model that helps you do what Dad did — to accurately identify the beginning of the bear market as early as possible and the end of the bear market as well — so you can pick up the bargains and get on-board for the recovery.
That's what we do with our model based largely on the same indicators we discussed here earlier.
Those bookends — marking the beginning and end of the bear market — aren't going to be exact. But still, knowing them makes a huge difference.
Then, the bear market strategy is basic: You allocate a lot more to cash. You use solid hedges. And you're going to preserve your capital or even make money.
"I want to do this on my own, without
following your portfolio. Is that possible?"
Martin: Up to a point, yes. Use strictly our buy-rated stocks. Then, from that list, select strictly the ones that are the most liquid. For example, stocks with average trading volume of at least 250,000 shares per day and total market capitalization of $500 million or more.
But the next step could be difficult to replicate on your own, because that's where we rank the stocks using our unpublished performance index.
Mike: Why isn't it published?
Martin: Good question. Fundamentally, it boils down to the two goals I set forth when I first founded the company: I want to do everything I can to help save the public from losses. That's what our published ratings do.
But I also want to do everything I can to help our closest friends and subscribers build their nest egg as efficiently as possible. And for that second goal, our performance ranking model is far more powerful if it's not published, if it's not being used by a larger number of investors in the market.
"You also buy ETFs. Why is that?"
Martin: For maximum diversification across asset classes and countries.
"I can't afford to stay glued to my email
all day every day waiting for the next trade."
Martin: Good — because I can't either. Just be sure to check your inbox each Friday after the market closes to see if I'm recommending a change to your portfolio.
"What's the minimum amount of money
I need to invest in order to fully
follow your ultimate portfolio?"
Martin: $25,000. That's more than enough to diversify among all the investments we recommend … and still maintain a cash reserve for safety … or for taking advantage of new recommendations.
"I can't tolerate any kind of risk
at this point. None whatsoever."
Martin: Then, in your case, I think it's best you stick with Treasury bills. You won't make anything. But other than inflation, you won't lose anything either. In my ultimate portfolio a major goal IS to reduce risk.
I avoid 11,000 stocks that don't qualify as safe enough. I implement solid capital preservation tactics in bear markets. I use very broad diversification. But I can't reduce the risk down to zero.
Mike: That's impossible.
Martin: On the other hand, if what you're looking for is a relatively cautious strategy to grow your wealth pretty rapidly, then I think this is that solution on a higher plane that a lot of people are looking for — that can help you escape that dilemma of either ridiculously low yield or ridiculously high risk.
Mike: How long will you be in any position?
Martin: It all depends on how long the stock or the ETF stays at the top of our list. The key is we never try to tell the market what to do next. The stocks themselves tell us whether or not they're worthy of our money!
Mike: This has been very helpful, Martin — both for readers who want to follow your portfolio and those who don't. Thank you!
Martin: Thank you for the questions — not to mention your own insights!

Concept cars at the Chicago Auto Show
There is no better place than an auto show to get a glimpse of the cars of the future. That's where carmakers show off concept cars and upcoming production models.
Manufacturer concept cars are the ultimate "what if" vehicles. Think of them as a starting point in a negotiation between a carmaker's design departments and its engineering and production departments.
Concept cars are a design department's opening bid. Although a few have come pretty close, concepts that do make it into production never turn out exactly like the futuristic vehicles we see at auto shows.
Manufacturers also use auto shows to introduce the public to all-new or redesigned vehicles that will make it into its showrooms. Some of these actually began life as concepts in previous auto shows.
Several concept cars and upcoming production vehicles populated the 2013 Chicago Auto Show. Here are five cars of the future Bankrate thought had pizazz — and our prediction for their future.
Kia Cross GT
Status: Concept car
Forecast: Likely to be produced in some form
Kia is moving upmarket, as illustrated by the unveiling of its premium Cadenza sedan earlier this year at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The Cross GT would provide Kia access to the luxury crossover arena.
Bigger than Kia's freshly redesigned Sorento, the Cross GT is a large crossover utility vehicle, or CUV. Its height offers not only enhanced visibility for the driver, but also more ground clearance for its all-wheel drive. Flowing exterior lines highlight its wrapper painted in fusion copper.
Its advanced hybrid powertrain has at its heart a 3.8-liter V-6 engine mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission. A pancake-shaped electric motor lies between the V-6 and the transmission. The motor and engine conspire to produce 400 horsepower. Torque is the power that gets the wheels turning, and the Cross GT's hybrid system can generate 500 foot-pounds of it.
Seating four in bucket seats, the cabin is loaded with technology, including access to the Internet through flat-panel screens located in the rear of the front-seat headrests.
2014 Acura MDX Prototype
Status: Preproduction truck
Forecast: Slated for production
This is a preproduction vehicle that actually will roll off the assembly line. Acura may tweak here or there on the seven-passenger MDX Prototype making the rounds of the auto show circuit, but it is virtually the same crossover that will be in showrooms this summer.
The first MDX offering front-wheel as well as all-wheel drive, it features new front and rear suspensions. An all-new 3.5-liter V-6 engine provides variable cylinder management, which allows the engine to deactivate two or three cylinders when cruising for improved fuel efficiency.
With a longer wheelbase than the 2013 model, the 2014 MDX promises improved ride quality and more second-row legroom.
In addition to safety technologies, such as forward collision warning, lane departure warning and a multiangle backup camera, the MDX features satellite radio, Pandora and Harman's cloud-based Aha.
Toyota Corolla Furia
Status: Concept car
Forecast: Expect many of these styling changes on the next-generation Corolla.
Despite being one of the best-selling small cars, the Corolla is in need of an update. The Corolla Furia concept is an exercise in exterior design and a clear indicator of where Toyota thinks it should be taking its wildly popular compact.
Although this color — referred to by Toyota executives as fuego furioso — probably won't make it into production, it grabs onlookers' attention, directing it to Furia's sloping roofline and budding fender flares. Both headlights and taillights are light-emitting diodes, or LEDs.
Because of cost factors, the carbon fiber elements found in lower-front spoiler and rocker panels probably won't make it to the next-generation Corolla either, but you can expect a more aggressive front end similar to the Furia's.
Historically, Toyotas have not been spectacularly stylish, but the carmaker's management is promising to change that in its cars of the future. Corolla is as good a place as any to start.
Mercedes-Benz Style Coupe
Status: Concept car
Forecast: Expected in showrooms in fall 2013 as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class
In the Style Coupe, we have a concept car that Mercedes-Benz brought to the Chicago Auto Show despite already introducing the production model that evolved from it. That would be the new CLA-Class scheduled to go on sale this fall.
In a real departure for Mercedes-Benz, the CLA-Class will be front-wheel drive and powered by a 208-horsepower 2-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. A driver-shiftable seven-speed automatic transmission will hustle engine output to the wheels. All-wheel drive will be available.
Mercedes-Benz retained many of the concept's styling cues in the CLA. The production car will share the concept's four-door coupe look. The grille, headlights and rear-end treatment are all similar.
Available technology features on the production car include attention-assist drowsiness detection, collision-prevention assist, blind-spot assist, the connectivity services of the mbrace2 hard-drive-based navigation system, 10GB music memory and satellite radio.
Lexus LF-LC Blue
Status: Concept car
Forecast: Although some components will appear in production cars, this concept car won't make it into showrooms.
Highly stylized and covered in its opal blue wrapper, the LF-LC uses weight-reducing carbon fiber and aluminum alloy materials.
It is also an ideal opportunity to show off the next-generation Lexus Hybrid Drive system that mates an Atkinson gasoline engine with a new high-energy battery pack. This smaller battery pack delivers greater power than today's larger battery arrays. Reaching a combined 500 horsepower, this hybrid system is the most powerful of any Lexus hybrid.
Highlighting the exterior styling are L-shaped daytime running lights, vertical fog lamps, a panoramic glass roof and honeycomb grille.
Dominated by twin 12.3-inch LCD screens, the cockpit allows the driver to stay informed and easily control the car. An interface connects the control of key systems, such as navigation, audio and climate.

Kuldeep Yadav was the name which started to trend on Twitter yesterday afternoon. The young chinaman bowler was spinning the web around Australian batsmen as he snared four wickets in quick succession on his debut match in Dharamshala.
Two states and around 1,800 km far his family was feeling the nervousness of his debut match. After getting a clue of his son can make debut on Saturday, Ram Singh Yadav, didn't sleep properly on the eve of this final Test. Everyone in the family woke up early to get a clear image over Kuldeep's debut and after watching him getting the Test cap, his father decided to take a leave to watch his son.
Kuldeep's mother Usha, father Ram and sister were glued to the television to watch him bowling in Whites. With his first wicket, tears started to roll over their faces before eventually enjoying it with giving sweets to everyone. After the second wicket, the house went uproar with a loud celebration. Neighbours also joined them with the stunning wicket of Glenn Maxwell.
Soon after his fourth wicket, proud father Ram Singh Yadav got several calls from friends and relatives. He couldn't hide his happiness after his son's achievement.
"Kuldeep called us last evening. He told me, he could get a chance to play tomorrow [Saturday]. We speak every evening. We feel great. He always performs well. People's love and god's grace always be with him. Whenever Kuldeep plays for Team India, I don't go to the office and watch the match at home," he said.
Kuldeep Yadav became the first bowler of its type to play for India in the rich history of 85 years. He is a chinaman bowler, who bowls wrist spin from left-arm. He registered 4 for 68 in his debut match, which helped his team to conclude Aussie batting line-up at 300.
