Q: What is your favorite part of the stock market today?
Sauter: I think you should have some international investments. I think we are going to see foreign economies start to pick up. International funds have risks that U.S. investments don’t have. I wouldn’t throw caution to the wind. I would use them as a diversifier. I would include emerging markets.
Q: If you could buy only one fund, what would it be?
Sauter: Vanguard Total Stock Market Index.
For first-time investors who want one complete investment, we’ve got our Balanced Index fund, which is 60 percent Total Stock Market Index and 40 percent Total Bond Market Index.
Robert Collier continues his three part series, Energy and America’s Future; with an article on hybrid cars. He also discusses Detroit’s lagging position in this market (with implications for its manufacturing base).
Thinking about sinus relief?
I’ve been (happily) using Madison based Sinucleanse for several months. The process seems rather strange, at first, but the results have been excellent. I no longer take any prescription allergy medications! Check it out (they have a very nicely done video that explains the process).
Well worth checking out.
Excellent article by Robert Collier on Wyoming’s natural gas boom, and the inherent environmental tradeoffs.
Milwaukee workers like Mr. Konieczny — with newfound opportunities and profound ambivalence about them — say a lot about the state of the economy and the presidential campaign. After considerable hesitation, the economy began to produce more jobs about a year ago, as President Bush points out at every opportunity. But many of those jobs don’t pay as much or offer as much security as the manufacturing jobs on which Milwaukee once depended, a point Democratic challenger John Kerry makes just as often.
The economy is behaving differently than in the past, and government snapshots give each candidate facts by the dozen to support his case. Mr. Bush likes a survey of households that shows more jobs now than the day he took office; Mr. Kerry likes a survey of employers that shows fewer. Mr. Bush says the new jobs are good ones; Mr. Kerry says they’re not. The murkiness of the statistics and politicians’ propensity to stretch the facts create a confusing picture as the election nears. But the outcome depends less on the dueling statistics than on what voters in battleground states experience and think about the economy.
