...does this, but I do think he's going to win -- on balance, a good thing -- so the question arises: What about my money? What should I do differently? And the first thing to say is: Not much. The basics of personal finance never change. And the stock and bond markets have largely accounted for a Clinton win already. It's surprises that move markets...
REPUBLICAN PARTY CHAIRMAN RICH BOND LOVES TO FLY, AND it shows. Bond was the only member of the G.O.P. high command to ride first class on the 8:15 a.m. TWA flight from St. Louis to Washington after the first presidential debate. Seems he took a lot of heat for it from the bigwigs back in coach class, including White House chief of staff James Baker, presidential pollster and official campaign chairman Robert Teeter and Budget Director Dick Darman.

Such financial ventures as its Coldwell Banker real estate unit, Allstate Insurance, Discover credit cards and Dean Witter are currently generating 90% of Sears' earnings, while income from its 860 retail stores has declined 33% this year. Rather than help Sears' growth, most analysts believe, the financial units only subsidized its failure to compete during...
