Downside Choice can be confusing. After an initial burst of enthusiasm for picking their funds, most Swedes now opt for the default, which has outperformed the average individual portfolio and has lower management fees...
...hill. Instead of using sweeping arced turns through the gates, he cuts shorter, sharper-radius turns. "Challenging the line that way increases the force on your body, and it reacts differently," says McNichol. Although he has been no stranger to the podium over the past four years, Miller burst out of the gates this season. He won four of the first six races, and six of the first 10.

Harvard held a six point advantage at halftime, but Princeton (10-8, 1-3) quickly erased that deficit with a 10-2 burst after the break to take a 32-30 lead with 16:07 to play.

That's a conundrum China's financial regulators have tried but failed to address since 2001, when an ebullient market bubble burst and local investors headed for the exits. In the latest effort to revive deflated stock prices and boost trading volume, the government last week announced that stock-transaction taxes would be cut by 50% for the second time in three years, and that initial public offerings would be resumed after a five-month suspension while other new rules designed to attract investors were implemented...
