...last week. The new breakers are intended to give investors ample time to calm down and think when the market slides 10% or more in a day. But don't wait until that day to consider what you'll do. Take the hint: exchange officials have overhauled their crash plan; so should...
What should your overall crash plan be? That depends on your stomach for risk and how long you have before you'll need the money. As a starting point, though, consider lightening your stock allocation, or not investing new money, until you're down to 80% of the stocks you would normally own. That means if you've normally got 75% of your money in stocks, you should go down to about 60% and raise the amount you have in cash and bonds.

If everything is reducible to an assembly-line image for sale, then Marilyn, Brillo, cows, Elvis and tabloid death are all equal--and equally convertible to cash. Warhol summed up his career with the words, "I started...
...called a "confrontation," and it could only happen in the French justice system. All the witnesses and relatives involved in a possible crime get together and argue amongst themselves. That's what Diana's mother, Dodi's father and a whole host of passers-by from the fatal crash were doing in Paris Friday. Sources close to Judge Herve Stephan say it's a sign his probe is wrapping up. Stephan seems ready to put Diana's death down to drunk driver Henri Paul, and this is the last chance for those who blame the paparazzi, or an international conspiracy...
