Goals: secure health coverage and maintain a balance of at least $3,700 in the checking account after monthly bills are paid, says Kenneth Robinson, the head of his own financial planning company in Cleveland. In the event of sudden job loss, "we also might recommend a home equity line of credit as a funding source for that emergency fund," says Schweiger, to pay off once employment is secured. Stratton suggests the 2030 lifecycle fund, which automatically diversifies his TSP savings among the plan's five different flavors of investment funds - government securities, fixed income index, common stock index, small capitalization stock index, and international stock index - until his retirement.

• The Effect of the Real Estate Downturn On the Link Between Reits and the Stock Market

We analyze the impact of the real estate / mortgage crisis on the dependence between the market for common stocks and returns on Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) using a flexible mixed-copula approach. We find that both before and after the outbreak of the recent financial crisis investing in REITs provides better protection against severe downturns of the stock market in the United States than a foreign common stock index. Moreover, the outbreak of the current crisis seems to (a) have little impact on the potential of REITs to provide protection against severe stock market losses, and, (b) have driven a wedge between the different types of REITs.

• Proper Event Study Analysis in Securities Litigation

For over two decades, event studies have been prominently used as a valuation technique in various litigation matters including securities litigation. An event study is an empirical technique that measures the effect of new information on the market prices of a company's publicly traded securities. In securities litigation, event study methodology has been widely used in fraud-on-the-market cases as economic evidence of materiality, loss causation, and artificial inflation. Event study analysis compares the day-to-day percentage change in the market price of a company's common stock to the return predicted by a market model that uses a market index, such as the S&P 500 Index or the NASDAQ Composite Index, and possibly an industry index. The market model describes the normal relation...

• Bond Index Funds Offer Lower Costs, Reasonable Returns

With the economy and the financial markets as they are these days, investors face two major challenges: how to obtain reasonable returns without a great deal of risk, and how to get consistently positive results in an extremely volatile stock market. It is clear that the Federal Reserve plans to continue policies that will keep short-term interest rates low. That is good news for borrowers, but not for savers who generally invest in certificates of deposit, money-market funds, money-market accounts and Treasury Bills. The return for short-term investments in these instruments remains lower than 1 percent, which does not keep up with inflation.

... funds have much less price volatility than common stock investments. Both Vanguard and Fidelity have...
