| Subject: Nobel prize in economics The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, commonly referred to as the Nobel Prize in Economics (Swedish: Nobelpriset i ekonomi), is an award for outstanding contributions to the science of economics and is generally considered one of the most prestigious awards for that science. (Wikipedia Jan 2010) Baby Boomers By John Schroy, on June 6th, 2006 |  Leave a comment  The ‘Baby Boomer Bomb’ refers to the expected effect of the retirement of the Baby Boomer generation on capital markets, particularly equities. In 2006, this issue was debated at the Milken Institute, and two solutions to the problem examined: Boomers being ’saved’ by productivity and technology; and, alternatively, by selling their financial assets to the next generation.

Poorly drafted, ill-conceived, and unfair this law does little to protect investors.

The famous Morningstar ’star’ rating system is based on ‘total return’, in this case ‘risk-adjusted total return’ relative to funds of the same asset category. A general’s stars are a clear indication of rank. People presume that ‘five stars’ are better than ‘three stars’, just as they presume that a ‘five star general’ is higher ranked than a ‘three star general’.
