Secrets of Success: Divide and conquer: the optimal portfolio
Diversification, all sensible people know, is the key to an effective investment strategy. But it is a principle that is harder to put into practice than we mostly realise.
Diversification, all sensible people know, is the key to an effective investment strategy. But it is a principle that is harder to put into practice than we mostly realise. The main reason, I think, is that it is one thing to sign on to the principle, and quite another to know how much to have in different types of asset and security.
What, for example, is the right proportion of your assets to have invested in the stock market? And how much, to take the most topical example, should your financial welfare be dependent on property?
Thanks to sterling efforts of the Nobel prizewinner Professor Harry Markowitz and a generation of later academics, what we do know is that there are some clever mathematical ways of working out the optimal weights in a portfolio.
The technique of mean variance optimisation makes it possible to work out the best combination of risky assets to hold, given knowledge of each asset's risk and return characteristics (risk in this case being defined as the volatility, or standard deviation, of returns) and the correlations between the different assets. The calculations will confirm that the less well correlated the components of your portfolio are, the better diversified you are.
That is fine as far as it goes, but - apart from requiring some fancy maths - the academic approach suffers from the disadvantage that it is wholly reliant on historic data. In the wrong hands, this can produce some bizarre results, as for example a few years ago when one of the City's grandest investment banks argued that investors should have 80 per cent in equities and 0 per cent in gilts - at the very point when the equity market was about to crater and gilts continued to produce their best returns for decades! Garbage in, garbage out, in other words.
Another danger is that even an optimised portfolio can lead you into difficulties, because short-term cash flows can force you into changing your asset mix even though it may be the optimal one for the longer term. You only have to look at how three years of a bear market turned many life companies into forced sellers of equities to see how this principle - which is a variant of the better-known syndrome known as gambler's ruin - is no idle danger.
Common sense can probably do at least as good a job. The truth, as far as I can see, is that investment is not a precise science, but a classic example of a business where it is better to be roughly right than precisely wrong. The common sense approach must be to take historic data as a starting point but then add some simple overriding adjustments on the simple contrarian principle that you want to reduce somewhat your exposure to assets that are overvalued and increase your exposure to undervalued ones.
The psychological drawback of this approach, as with all diversification, is that it means you are guaranteed not to do as well as you might have done if you had happened to have 100 per cent exposure to the asset class that in practice turns out to do best. You will in other words miss the very top of every bull market but do better when things are going badly. You cannot have it both ways, unfortunately.
So how then to assess the proportions of different assets to hold? One simple starting point is to look at how different combinations of assets would have worked in the past. I did this exercise some while ago with the data on UK equities, gilts and cash from 1899-2000. (Since then some of the data for the first half of the 20th century has been revised, and we have had a new bear market, but the general principles remain broadly the same). The table below shows the results of this exercise for various mixes of equities and gilts and equities and cash.
You can see at once how mixing either set of assets succeeds in bringing down both the volatility and the returns of each portfolio. Note how introducing gilts into the portfolio does virtually nothing to reduce the number of down years you would have experienced as a 20th-century investor, whereas introducing cash does have that effect. It also reduces the maximum loss in any one year. The band of potential returns is somewhat wider with gilts in the portfolio than it is with cash.
It is also of course possible to mix all three assets together and produce a new set of results. In recent years we now have the option of including other assets, such as property (for which we have good data going back about 35 years), index-linked gilts, corporate bonds and overseas equities. Putting all this information together in a usable format is not easy (and beyond the space of a newspaper column), but it is easy enough to study their various returns over time and see which ones tend to move together and which ones do not.
On top of this, finally, you have to introduce your judgements about the relative valuations of each class of asset. The simplest way to do this with equities and property is to compare them to their long-term averages and also look at how their yields (dividends or rental value) compare to alternatives.
With gilts and other fixed-interest securities, it is usually enough to take the current yield for say a 10-year-gilt and assume that this will be its total return over the next ten years (the correlation is very strong). Then look at the current and expected rate of inflation: if gilts are offering a real yield (after inflation) of 3 per cent per annum on these two measures, then they will normally be good value. Otherwise be wary.

Name: Deb
Gonzales, LA
Number of kids: 9 yrs, 15 months, due 8 weeks
Ages of kids: 2.5
Problem: My 15 month old is constantly climbing on something. I am afraid he is going to get seriously hurt!!! I have tried scolding and even spanking but he still will not stop. When he gets caught he says "NO NO NO NO" and puts his hand over his leg where I usually give him a little swat. Any suggestions on how to stop him from doing this? I am due in 8 weeks and exhausted from chasing him, can't keep up with my housework because I can't take my eyes off of him!! What will I do when the baby comes and needs attention while he is busy climbing on the table, the desk, the cabinets etc.... Please Help Me!!! Thanks!!!
Solution submitted by Karen from Brea, CA: My son is also climbing everything. He will even push toys, chairs, etc. over to whatever he wants to reach. So far the only thing I've been able to do, is to keep him confined to a "safe" area in the house. I've tried to remove all temptation. He does still try to escape and do what he wants anyway, but I'm hoping that he'll learn soon. I'd appreciate any tips anyone else has to offer.
Please submit any moresolutions.

]]>Great video from the founders of the Tokyo International School
Professor Mark Lepper led several studies into how rewards affect young children's learning. He witnessed children show significant less interest when given a reward for taking part in an activity. The same activity that they had engaged in just days earlier.
Professor Lepper also discovered that the " longer children are in school, the less they seemed to be intrinsically motivated. So, he developed "The Five C's" which was the result of his look into how to turn work into play.
1- Challenge – He contends that there is a lot of evidence that children seek out challenges
2- Competence – Children search for evidence that they've accomplished something. They only feel competent when they succeed if the task was challenging.
3- Control – Children engage deeper when they are at the wheel of their learning
4- Curiosity – The sense of wonder drives our curiosity
5 – Context – Humans get great pleasure from imaginary environments – stories, movies, books, video games
What struck me is how Making and Tinkering provide opportunities for all of these. We tell children that we know that they are competent beings and we challenge them . By providing skill training in an open-ended project learning environment, we give children control and the sense of wonder that drives curiosity. And finally with our invitations and provocations, we provide children the opportunity for context.

Questions of Cash: Qatar Airways flight mix-up wiped the smile off my face
Friday 09 August 2013
Q. I have a problem with Qatar Airways. I booked and paid for a business class flight from Luxor to Doha, flying on 9 March, paying with my Barclays debit card. On 9 March I was advised by ground crew at Luxor airport that there was no business class cabin on the flight. I was given the options of flying business class the next day, flying economy class and receiving a free business class flight from Luxor to Doha for a later date, or flying economy class and getting a refund of the difference between two fares, plus $150 (£98) compensation.

Andy McSmith's Diary: I admit I made mistakes over Militant, says Jack Straw
Thursday 20 June 2013
Half a dozen former members of the Blackburn constituency Labour Party, who had the unwanted distinction more than 30 years ago of being the first party members expelled for belonging to the secretive Trotskyite organisation, Militant, have extracted an apology from the town's long-serving MP, Jack Straw. Not over their expulsion: the former Foreign Secretary has no qualms about that, but in his memoir Last Man Standing, published last year, Mr Straw added a claim that the six were siphoning party funds to give to striking miners. He has now admitted, in a letter to the Lancashire Telegraph, that it cannot be true. These events happened so long ago that they predated the 1984 miners' strike.

Police looking for suspect, vehicle in hit-and-run that left 5-year-old injured
MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee police are looking for the individual they say ran a red light without his or her lights on, on Saturday night, June 9th — Striking a five-year-old boy in the 4500 block of N. Teutonia Ave.
Police say the impact was so hard, five-year-old Robert Torres was ripped from the grasp of his uncle, whose hand he was holding while the two were crossing the street. Police say the boy's uncle did not see the car coming as the two began crossing the street.
The incident occurred around 9:15 Saturday night.
Police are looking for a four-door vehicle, possibly a tan GM model.
The boy was transported to Children's Hospital with fractures and internal bleeding. He is in critical condition and is expected to survive.
Anyone with information is asked to call Milwaukee police at 414-935-7360.
A prayer vigil for Robert Torres is planned for Monday, June 11th in the 2500 block of W. Glendale Ave. at 6:00 p.m.

A few months ago BlackBerry announced that it would be releasing BlackBerry Messenger a.k.a BBM for both iOS and Android. Back then the company said that we should expect the launch to take place this summer. As yet BlackBerry has not provided a release date, but it is expected that BBM for both platforms will be coming in the next couple of weeks. The cross-platform BBM beta has already been seeded to a select few users of the BlackBerry Beta Zone, invitations to testers for the Android version have reportedly gone out as well. Today we pick up on a picture of BBM for Android, a picture of its splash screen to be precise.
The splash screen doesn't reveal anything about the interface of the app itself. Its evident that users will have to create a BlackBerry ID regardless of which platform they're on. This is the first time in the company's history that its opening up the once famed BBM service to other platforms. It remains to be seen how BBM will perform in this competitive niche, where you already have players such as WhatsApp and Viber, which handle billions of messages across different platforms every single day.

From the main menu, choose 'Exhibition' then 'Banger Race' and choose the first track, 'The Sidewinder' (so you can catch up if you are behind). I chose the muscle car "Frenchy" and made the race one lap and changed the opponents' vehicles to Sedans. Also make sure the difficulty is on "Insane." |

Moodss is a modular monitoring application, which supports operating systems (Linux, UNIX, Windows, etc.), databases (MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2, ODBC, etc.), networking (SNMP, Apache, etc.), and any device or process for which a module can be developed (in Tcl, Python, Perl, Java, and C). An intuitive GUI with full drag'n'drop support allows the construction of dashboards with graphs, pie charts, etc., while the thresholds functionality includes emails and user defined scripts. Monitored data can be archived in a SQL database by both the GUI and the companion daemon, so that complete history over time can be made available from Web pages or common spreadsheet software. It can even be used for future behavior prediction or capacity planning, from the included predictor tool, based on powerful statistical methods and artificial neural networks.
Bandwidth Management Tools is a total bandwidth management solution for Linux and can be used for firewalling, traffic graphing, and shaping. It is not based on any currently-available bandwidth management software and supports packet queues, bursting, complex traffic flow hierarchies, flow groups, traffic logging, and a simple real-time monitoring front-end.
Argus is a system and network monitoring application. It will monitor nearly anything you ask it to monitor (TCP + UDP applications, IP connectivity, SNMP OIDS, etc). It presents a clean, easy-to-view Web interface. It can send alerts numerous ways (such as via pager) and can automatically escalate if someone falls asleep.
PHP Shell is a shell wrapped in a PHP script. It's a tool you can use to execute arbiritary shell-commands or browse the filesystem on your remote Web server. This replaces, to a degree, a normal telnet-connection. You can use it for administration and maintenance of your Web site using commands like ps, free, du, df, and more.
PasTmon (Passive Application Response Time Monitor) passively monitors your application servers, measuring and reporting user response times, throughput and congestion. It currently works with HTTP, telnet, rlogin, rsh, FTP (control channel), SMTP, POP3, and IRC. Measurements are recorded in a PostgreSQL database and are presented graphically via a PHP Web front-end using R statistical analysis scripts to create the plots.
Web Secretary is Webpage change notification (monitoring) software. It goes beyond the normal functions offered by such software by detecting changes based on content analysis, making sure that it's not just HTML that changed, but actual content. You can tell it what to ignore in the page (hit counters and such), and it can mail you the document with the changes highlighted or load the highlighted page in a browser.
Geolizer is a patch for Webalizer that uses the GeoIP library to generate faster and more reliable geographic statistics than the default DNS suffix method. It is recommended that DNS reversal be disabled on your HTTP server for improved performance and more accurate statistics. It also supports country flag pictures, can be compiled under MinGW/MSYS, and features a human-readable transfer size display.
Mars is a simple, extensible, services-oriented network status monitor written in Java. It monitors a network by simulating client connections to Internet services and reporting when those services are not responding as expected. It is quick and easy to install and configure, which distinguishes it from more complex network monitoring tools. Mars monitors HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, IMAP, POP3, FTP, SSH, and JDBC, and notifies via SMTP and XMPP "out of the box". Support for new protocols, notifications, and reporting mechanisms is easy to add via Java or XML.
AutoNOC is a high performance, production integrated, peer-to-peer network operations management platform for Windows and Linux.

Hull City boss Bruce says Tottenham can win Premier League this season
London, Oct 26 : Hull City manager Steve Bruce has said that he believes Tottenham Hotspur can win the Premier League this season.
According to the Mirror, Bruce pointed out that this was the strongest Spurs side he could remember in all his time in football both as a player and a manager.
Hull City and Tottenham are scheduled to meet in a league game this weekend.
However, Bruce said that it was a matter of mentality and attitude if the Spurs were to break a half-century hoodoo, having last been crowned League champions 52 years ago.
He added that the team was knocking on the door when Harry Redknapp was manager there and now, they had as strong a squad as anybody in the top flight.
Bruce also stressed that his Tigers won't be running scared at White Hart Lane after making an impressive start to life among the big boys, the report said.

Mission Viejo will tack on two days to its November wheelchair tennis masters tournament and the International Tennis Federation is picking up the tab following unanimous City Council approval Monday.
After agreeing to host the doubles tournament last year, the city has now added a singles tournament as well. The two tournaments will take place from Nov. 5-11.
"It will make for a larger tournament and more publicity for the city," City Manager Dennis Wilberg said.
The Wheelchair Tennis Masters tournament began in 1994 and has been hosted in Europe until now. In 2011 and 2012, Belgium hosted the event.
Following the US Open, the top eight men and women are invited to the Masters tournament.

When Kathryn Daynes began working on her doctorate at Indiana University, her focus was on British history.
After a change of course, however, she found a home in the Mormon History Association.
Daynes, a BYU associate professor of history, is president-elect of the organization "dedicated to the study and understanding of all aspects of Mormon history," according to its mission statement. Daynes became involved in the MHA while she was raising a family and studying in Bloomington, Ind. Daynes, who is married to BYU political science professor Bill Daynes, had given birth to a child with a handicap. At about that time, a friend at church invited her to attend an MHA meeting.
"I loved the meetings," she said. "When it became clear to me with my family situation that I could not go to England to do my dissertation ... (my department) allowed me to move to Mormon history, and I started being a regular attender."
This May, the Mormon History Association will convene in Sacramento for its annual conference, and Daynes will replace current president Paul L. Anderson. In 2009, the MHA will meet in Springfield, Ill.
Daynes said the study of Mormon history is something that "resonates at a very deep level" intellectually, spiritually and emotionally. Being part of the MHA gave her an opportunity to interact with other scholars working in similar fields. The organization is home to not only LDS scholars but also to secular scholars as well as members of the Community of Christ. In fact, some MHA members have no affiliation at all with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"It's a place where people can come together who are interested in the study of Mormonism," Daynes said. "It's a good place to learn, and certainly it's a good place to associate with different people who have that same interest as you do."
According to Daynes, MHA meetings are at "the forefront of what research is being done about Mormonism." The 2007 conference in Salt Lake City was the largest ever held by the organization. It's a place where scholarly papers are presented and important announcements are made. Last year, filmmaker Helen Whitney, who produced the PBS documentary "The Mormons," attended the conference. The organization also produces a newsletter and a quarterly journal Daynes calls "one of the best if not the best."
Daynes, whose work focuses on U.S. social history with an emphasis on 19th-century plural marriage, said being involved in a leadership position with the MHA takes some work but is also an honor. The MHA president is chosen by a nominating committee within the organization.
"I was very flattered to be asked," she said.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The Chamber of Commerce and TD Bank recognized the best businesses in the county Wednesday evening at the 29th annual Business and Industry Awards.
The ceremony honored businesses that contribute to the county's well-being through activities that include community service, partnerships, employment policies, expansion of operations or dedication, the chamber says on its website.
"We had so many nominees this year," Terissa Aronson, director of business services, said before the ceremony, "and because of the amount of nominees we were presented with, we really had to take the extra step and narrow them down to semifinalists."
More than 200 nominations were received for the event's 13 different categories. A business can nominate itself or receive recognition from a person in the community or from the committee, Aronson said. The businesses do not need to have a membership with the chamber.
The nominees filled out a four-question form describing their business' community service and how it has improved St. Lucie County. The awards committee then selected semifinalists and then narrowed their selection to finalists and finally three contestants.
"The award encompasses all of St. Lucie County's businesses," Aronson said. "We really dig deep to make sure we are getting a good representation in the categories for St. Lucie County. So that holds a lot of prestige."

Bling My Nails
Nail shields are one of the latest crazes in beauty and fashion.
Nail shields are decorate nail adhesives used to create drama and excitement to your nails. They come in a variety of colors, designs, and sizes. Many fashionistas, fashion wanna-a-bes, and those who want a bit of something different without an extravagant price or damage to their nails wear nails shields.
Nail shields came to my attention around the Summer of 2011. I didn't give them a second thought because I don't wear color on my nails frequently and I have a gel overlay. However, as fashion does, the nail shield trend had a bit of staying power and the revolution continued in the fall and winter seasons. Then, February rolled around and I had the opportunity to try two brands of nail shields: Nail Cutie for Jamberry Nails and Kiss Nail Dress.
Both brands are similar in application and size. Nail Cutie for Jamberry Nails has a stronger adhesive and larger variety of colors and designs. Kiss Nail Dress had the sizes that worked best for me, however my dear sweet mother made off with ALL of my samples. So, her opinion is: she loves them both brands. Some deisgns are subtle, easy to apply, and wears like traditional nail polish.
Are you into the nail shields revolution?
I received samples of both products: (1) Nail Cutie for Jamberry and (2) Kiss Nail Dress via Influenster LoveVoxBox.
6 comments:
I love kiss nail dress; their products in general great quality.
YES! i got my from the influenster love vox box. i like them as bling/ring finger polish - not sure if i want all of them for my nails! it works well though, mine lasted over 10 days.
I got some from my influenster love vox box as well. Like Reni, I've used them as accents only, but I do love them. They add a little something extra to my normally plain, normally pink manicure.
Me and my co-worker tried these out, and for some reason they were not working for us, they refused to stick to our nails. Perhaps we were missing a crucial step or something but the directions seemed pretty strait forward.
Very Cute... I have some and still have yet to try them! *SHRUGS*

Feds offer a bit more time to buy health insurance
Federal officials tried to offer a few extra breaks on Thursday for people struggling to buy health insurance by the new year. They gave people until Dec. 31 to pay their first premiums for coverage starting the very next day, and asked insurance companies to extend other deadlines, too.

My grandmother was Velma Kash or Cash, born March 6, 1928 in or near Perry County, Illinois. She died in Perry County on Sept. 30, 2003. At the time of death her last name was Saunders. She married four times to three men, Clarence Jones, a man with the last name Craig, and Frank Saunders. She had six children, Roy Jones, Paul Jones, twins Faye and Faith Jones, David Craig, and Steven Franklin Saunders (he goes by Frank though). David Craig died before 1986, but the other five children are still living, spread out through Illinois. I can give names of all of Velma's grandchildren, her children's spouses, some grandchildren's spouses, and her great-grandchildren. I have posted this to the Cash forum, as well as the Saunders forum. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Notify Administrator about this message?

Poll shows NDP surges into statistical tie with Tories with Mulcair: CP Poll
A new poll suggests the federal NDP is enjoying a big bounce in popularity since choosing Thomas Mulcair as leader.
1 | Photo |
? | Comments |
OTTAWA—A new poll suggests the federal NDP is enjoying a big bounce in popularity since choosing Thomas Mulcair as leader.
The Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey indicates the New Democrats have surged into a statistical tie with the Conservatives, with the parties at 32 and 34 per cent support respectively.
The NDP boost comes almost entirely at the expense of the Liberals, who have slipped back to 19 per cent — the same all-time low they received in last May's election when the self-styled natural governing party was reduced to a third-party rump.
The orange surge was particularly strong in Quebec, Mulcair's home base, where the NDP has vaulted back in front with 39 per cent to the Bloc Quebecois' 24; Liberals and Conservatives were tied at 14 per cent.
The NDP was also leading in British Columbia, with 44 per cent to 30 for the Tories, 13 for the Liberals and 11 for the Greens.
The telephone survey of 2,003 Canadians was conducted March 22-April 2 and is considered accurate within plus or minus 2.2 percentage points, 19 times in 20.

Silver Market Displays Mixed Reactions To Greek Debt Deal
By Adam Currie — Exclusive to Silver Investing News
Silver prices remained steady over the week, strengthened by the news that the Greek government, in need of $14.5 billion to make bond payments on March 20, was able to reach a deal approving austerity measures.
"Most markets are still overextended and may be entering a 'buy the rumor, sell the news' type of mode now that the Greek issue is entering its final stages," said Edward Meir, metals analyst at INTL FCStone.

New York Jets coach Rex Ryan is not one to hold back what's on his mind. But a recent meltdown on Saturday night during a news conference has put the coach's job in question. Ryan, however, has gained the support of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie who stuck up the Jets coach during a guest stint on a local radio show. As the Los Angeles Times reports on August 27, Christie had much to say about the Jets beat writer who pulled Ryan's strings.
Gov. Chris Christie started out by calling New York Daily News writer Manish Mehta an "idiot" and a "dope".
"The guy's a complete idiot. Self-consumed, underpaid reporter. The only reason he's empowered is we're spending all this time this morning talking about Manish Mehta who, by the way, I couldn't pick out of a police lineup. We shouldn't be giving this dope, you know, the amount of airtime we've given him already."
Rex Ryan drew criticism from the New York press for his decision to play quarterback Mark Sanchez towards the end of a preseason game during the Cincinnati Bengals. Sanchez ended up getting hurt in the game and may miss the start of the season. Ryan was questioned after the game about the decision and responded that he was trying to win a game. The Jets coach finally exploded after questions continued.
Christie stuck up for Ryan's behavior, feeling that he was backed into a corner. He told the sports talk radio show co-host Craig Carton:
"He tried to defend the decision, and people keep yelling at him, so he had enough of the... . He's like, 'Enough, I've given you my answer.' There comes a point, Craig, sometimes, with you people in the media, where you just have to say, 'Hey, that's my answer. You think it's stupid, you don't like it, then say that. But leave me alone.'"
Christie was called "fatso" on the front-page headline of Tuesday's New York Daily News in response to his rant about Mehta and defending Ryan. The personal attacks on Christie's weight goes well beyond professionalism. But Christie may have started it by insulting the intelligence of the Daily News.

ower napping just got easier, says CNN. Pull an Ostrich Pillow ($99) over your head and you instantly find yourself in a dark, quiet personal space where it won't matter what people nearby are saying about you. An opening for your mouth and nose allows easy breathing, and the padding softens any surface you lean on. Hand holes have been built in too, adding extra comfort when you want to put your head down on your desk and take 20 minutes to recharge your battery. Best of all, those extra holes "make you look like Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars."

Domestic Abuse in America: T.Y. Martin and Salena Michelle
by The Voice of Leadership in Relationships
Tags: Domestic Abuse Violence Healing the Arts Theater
In the U.S. every 9 seconds a woman is assaulted or beaten. Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime. Most often, the abuser is a member of her own family. Up to 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence annually, and men, who as children witnessed their parents' domestic violence, were twice as likely to abuse their own wives than sons of nonviolent parents. When is enough enough? T.Y. is a world renowned playwright. His productions bring about awareness to some of the most sensitive and 'skeleton-in-the-closet' issues of adultery, police brutality, domestic violence, and loss of a loved one. As 'in your face' 'tell-it-like-it-is' as his personality is, T.Y. is sensitive - in touch with today's reality. He is always eager to reach out to others and share his life experiences and skills. Salena Michelle plays the leading role of Nikki Jackson in Lord Why Me. As a film and TV actress, Salena has appeared in Army Wives, The Sacrament and as a stand-in for Killing Winston Jones. Playing the role of Nikki evokes many emotions for Salena, not the least of which is showing her children that abuse, in any form, is not ok.

Tonight, we are going on a guided meditation; that is, we are taking a spiritual trip a journey if you will, with our Ancestors i.e. Egungun, our family members who have departed from this world.
In Ifa-Orisa Tradition the Word Egungun in the Yoruba language actually means bone. Because our departed family members body mass had bone structure as well as flesh etc. Upon their departure the flesh literally disappears in time and what's left is the Skeleton or bone structure. So, Egungun or Ancestor denotes that the individual has crossed over and gone to the next world.
