Corn and soybean harvest yields are even lower than most projections, according toPorkMag. The stock-to-use ratio for corn is at 6.7%, the lowest since 1995. Darrell Mark,

University of Nebraska Extension livestock economist, says the market is very sensitive to

scares, and corn prices can top up to $8 if enough pessimistic news comes in.

In the October WASDE report, USDA actually increased feed demand, maintained ethanol

demand, and slightly lowered export demand compared to last month, Mark notes.However, the higher price for corn has reduced corn demand for livestock feed.

MUNI BONDS NEWS 11.10

The bond markets are an excellent place for most investors to invest capital and generateconsistent returns. Like any capital market, bonds are not without risks. For municipal

bonds, investors need to concern themselves with inflation, defaults, ratings downgrades,

material events, liquidity issues, budget woes, spending cuts, and unfunded pensions. Eachof these issues can erode the value of municipal bonds. Since bond prices fluctuate on a

daily basis, it is important to become aware of few factors.Inflation:

Inflation is a rise in the prices of goods and services over a period. Inflation is also erosionin the purchasing power of money. With everything remaining the same, an increase in

prices, hurts a consumers ability to purchase goods and services. In general, inflation is

measure by a basket of goods. The recognized gauge of inflation is the consumer priceindex.

Since municipal bonds are fixed income products, when inflation moves higher, the realpurchasing power of money (or fixed income) is reduced. Therefore, when inflation ticks

higher, bond investors generally reduce the amount they are willing to pay for a given bond,and demand more interest.

Investors can follow some general rules of thumb as it relates to bond prices, interest rates

and inflation.

the future than big cities, making it easier towalk awayfrom their debt than paying youback.

Monitoring the news and determining the effect on your portfolio is important for activebond investors. A passive investor still needs monitor markets movements since about 96%of Muni bonds experience credit rating changes within a 10 year period.

How defaults affect bonds

The municipal bond sector has had a solid record of accomplishment when it comes to themagnitude and frequency of defaults. Defaults are times when a municipality cannot pay itsdebts and misses a payment or seeks bankruptcy protection. Municipal bonds are

considered the second safest category following securities issued by the Federal

Government. In the event of a default, bondholders seldom lose their entire principal.Often, a default could result in the suspension of the coupon payment, or a delayedpayment. California General Obligation bonds are second in line for payment, just after

education.History of Defaults:

Default rates, varied significantly across municipal sub-sectors, even though the overall ratewas low compared too many fixed-income sectors. A study perform by Fitch study found

that the 16 to 23 year cumulative default rates for tax-backed and traditional revenuebonds were less than 0.25 percent. Industrial revenue bonds had a cumulative default rate

of 14.62 percent, multi-family housing 5.72 percent, and non-hospital related healthcare17.03 percent. These three sectors accounted for 8 percent of all bonds issued but 56percent of defaults. Education and general-purpose sector bonds accounted for 46 percent

of issuance but only 13 percent of defaults.One of the new findings in the 2003 study was that there was a moderate correlation of

default risk with economic cycles, though a one-year lag produced a higher correlation.During the early 1980s and the early 1990s when economic growth was slow, default rates

were the highest.Another new finding was that defaulted municipal bonds have ahigh recovery rateof 68.33

percent based on the number of defaults. Recovery can be made in a couple of ways. The

borrower may get out of the default situation by making full debt service payments orforfeiting collateral securing the bonds may be liquidated. Most issuers, particularly

providers of essential services such as water and sewer, eventually resume paying debtservice. They are never pledged to bondholders. In such cases, bondholders maintain a lien

on revenues, which often enables full recovery. Industrial development bonds andmultifamily housing bonds, the two sectors with the highest default rates, are often backed

by collateral leading to higher than average recovery rates.

Bond insurersThe key to successful municipal bond investing is to perform the due diligence needed to

find a solid investment. It is no different than finding a solid stock. Prior to the recentcredit crises, municipalities could purchase insurance for bonds, but AAA insurers no longer

exist to back up bonds. Recently in 2010, bond insurer Ambac moved into Chapter 11,because it believes the IRS would gut the entire company.

Recent problemsin the industry include some shortfalls of full disclosure. An example in

2010 was San Diego failed to disclose underfunding pensions in bond offering disclosures

(penalties were paid by San Diego). The SEC may impose more penalties or require moredisclosure, as there is not enough money to repay bondholders if failure occurs.

SPDR Utilities (XLU) is the granddaddy of all ETFs in this sector. Not only is it theoldest with inception in 1998, its also the largest by far. XLU had assets of more than

$3 billion as of the most recent quarter end. XLU is a large-cap fund; essentially, it isthe utilities portion of the S&P 500. That means it is well-known and very liquid.

Vanguard Utilities (VPU) and iShares Dow Jones U.S. Utilities (IDU) are twomore name-brand ETFs covering this sector. Both are much smaller than XLU, in

terms of both size and trading volume. They are still decent funds, though, if you are

looking for diversified, domestic utilities exposure.

PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities (XLUS) is a new ETF, only a few months old.As the name suggests, it specializes in the small-cap corner of the utilities sectors.

This is a good niche many of these companies could become takeover targets asthe industry consolidates.

iShares S&P Global Utilities (JXI) is one-stop shopping for utilities stocks fromaround the world. Almost 60 percent of the portfolio is based outside the U.S.,

including Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Hong Kong, Brazil, and more. Thisglobal exposure only adds to the sectors appeal, in my opinion.

WisdomTree International Utilities (DBU) and SPDR S&P InternationalUtilities (IPU) both exclude the U.S. and dedicate substantially all their assets to

foreign stocks. Does this make them riskier? Yes, but the return potential is higher,too, especially if the U.S. dollar loses value against other currencies.

medical supplies, so it stands to benefit from a government plan to expand health insuranceto 30 million people who lack it today. It also provides information technology to hospitalsand clinics, and so the company should prosper from the push to digitize patient records to

better coordinate care and reduce costs. In the company's fiscal year ended March 31, sales

grew only modestly but careful cost control sent adjusted operating earnings nearly 18%higher. Cash flow far outstripped spending during the year. As a result, McKesson has now

accumulated enough cash to more than wipe out its debt or repurchase 20% of its

outstanding shares. It could also pay a dividend several times as large as the one it pays

now. Shares yield a mere 0.8%.Time Warner Cable

Cable television companies spent the past decade luring telephone customers with voice-over-Internet offerings. Telecoms are now returning the favor, laying fiber optic lines that

can carry bundled television and broadband Internet service. Recent data suggest thoseservices -- FiOS by Verizon(VZ: 28.64*, +0.13, +0.45%) and U-Verse by AT&T(T:25.77*, +0.37, +1.45%) -- are spreading slower than the telecoms hoped and the cable

operators feared. According to Matthew Harrigan, a media analyst with Wunderlich

Securities in Denver, the current share price for Time Warner(TWC: 52.44*, +0.84,+1.62%) implies FiOS and U-Verse will eventually win as subscribers 31% and 22% of

customers in wired homes, respectively. In a late-April note to clients Harrigan wrote thatpenetration rates of 27% and 17% seem more likely. If he's correct, today's share pricecould prove a bargain. Time Warner owes plenty but also has a free cash flow yield of closeto 12% and a dividend yield of 3.2%.

momentum investing - RONO OVERTONE 2/10Many of us practice momentum investing to a greater or lesser degree. In short it's simply

overweighting some segment, sector, region or country that is outperforming the rest of themarket. It's not day trading nor market timing - but it's also not being a diehard buy & hold

passive investor. It also doesnt mean that you have to momentum invest with 100% ofyour portfolio. Most of us have a core portfolio that IS pretty much b&h and only

momentum invest with some percentage. This could be as little as 5%. I probably do about

35-40%. The point is that if your core portfolio matches the market returns and you have 5-10% invested in a sector that beats the market, your overall returns will also beat the

market.And it has nothing to do with whether a fund is actively managed or an index fund. Indeed,most ETFs are index type funds and they make wonderful tools for momentum investing.They're relatively inexpensive, easy to buy and sell, and able to be very targeted.

The basis for passive b&h investing is that over the long run the market is extremely

efficient and demonstrates a reversion to the mean. By this I mean that any area that isdoing poorly will eventually do well and any area that's doing great will eventually do poorly

and that all these oddities will even out and we'll approach the long term trend line returns

of ~11% for stocks and ~6% for bonds. And as this is the case over the long run, you're


18/21

better off to buy index funds in a set allocation and leave it alone and let this most efficientof markets take care of things.

Sounds good and I agree!! Over the long run the market IS efficient and DOES revert to themean. And if I was investing for 75 years, I'd be all over passive buy & die investing.Ah, but the problem is that none of us are investing for 75 years - or 50 - or even 30. I'm61 so how many years do I have left - for the market to revert to the mean? So, first off we

may not all have the 'long run'.Second is that while the market is efficient over the long run, in the short and intermediateterm, it's anything BUT efficient. There are anomalies that can exist for years - where some

sector, segment, etc., out or under-performs the rest of the market. How long did real

estate outperform? 5, 6, 7 years? How about the dot.com bull? Gold has been in a bullmarket since 2001.Although some folks will try to ride any trend, regardless of duration, I don't - it's too hard

and requires more time than I'm willing to devote. I'm looking for the longer term trends.Theyre easier to spot and have a better probability of continuing their trend. Fro example,

theres a dollar rally going on thats lasted a couple of months. Some folks are riding thistrend, but it hasnt been going on long enough to interest me. Id rather see something

lasting for months and years. This makes them easier to identify.And this is the whole premise of momentum investing that you can identify these trends

and simply overweight one or two with a portion of your portfolio and thereby increase youroverall returns to a better percentage than the general market.There are two issues that you have to figure out how to ID a trend and climb aboard, and

when to realize that the ride is over and its time to get off. While some use charts andtechnical measures, I use a combination of things and rely mostly on scaling in and scaling

out of an investment to mitigate the risks.You need to watch the sectors, segments and regions on a regular basis looking for

divergences. By this I mean some sector that does well when everyone else does poorly isflat when the rest of the world is down. You can do this at Bobs, many sector index listings,

watching the Fido sector funds, or just reading Barons and IBD to see which types of funds

are doing better than others. You really cant use stocks because funds will show a betterpicture of the sectors and segments. Youre looking for something that stands out from the

pack. When you find it you start watching it and see if it continues to diverge. I like to runthe 6 month chart just to see what the picture looks like as Im not a technician. Im looking

for something thats got a nice smooth upwards slope. I check the fundamentals to see if itmakes sense. And I watch to see if it continues. \

Once I decide it just might be a real trend, Ill make an initial purchase of perhaps 25% of

my final intended investment. Lets say I have $10K to play with I buy $2500 and watch itfor a week or so to see how it does. If it stays flat or goes down I DO NOT buy more. I

watch it some more to see if it begins to make me money or breaks my stop loss and forcesme to sell (more about exit strategies below). However, if it does make me some money

and is green after a week or so, Ill buy some more say another 25%. And Ill watch it tosee if it makes me money. If it does, Ill go ahead and invest the remaining 50%. (note that

you can scale in with any percentage increments that feels good 25/25/50, 33/33/33,

etc.). This is called scaling in to an investment.

How about getting off when the trend is over? This revolves around your exit strategy andyou simply MUST have an exit strategy. This is crucial for momentum investing so that you

can keep your profits and not give them all back as you ride the trend back to the mean.{However, Im of the camp that every investor should have an exit strategy and that a purebuy & die portfolio will likely result in your death. How many times in the past 10 years has

the market handed them their ass?}

For an exit strategy you have to watch your investment. Again, youre looking fordivergences or when it does poorly and everything else does well. Or the chart startslooking ugly, or it breaks any of your moving averages. These are all signs that it may be


19/21

running out of steam. You can also set mental stop losses. I like using 10% for mostinvestments with it being how much Im willing to give back or if its a new play, how much

pain Im willing to suffer. Any of these can be a trigger to start scaling OUT of your play.And youre much better to err on the side of caution than not. No one ever went broketaking profits. By scaling out, I mean that at the first trigger point, you take 25% of yourplay off the table. And you watch the rest more closely than ever. If it continues to look ugly

or turn down or drop, you take some more off the table say another 25%. If it continuesto break down you take whats left. And you do NOT worry about it turning back up. Thatwill occasionally happen but thats OK. Youve banked your profits and can now look for the

next trend . . . or even scale back in to the same trend if it really makes a steady and nice

comeback.And this is the best reason why I prefer to play the longer and smoother trends you donthave to get on the first day, nor stay until the bitter end to make money. You can afford to

wait until the trend fully manifests itself before you climb aboard and still make money. Andyou can wait until it breaks down before getting off and still not give all your profits back to

the house.And on this board, there are quite a few folks that practice some degree of momentum

investing using a variety of tools and metrics to both ID the trends and exit the plays.
