...quarantine on Tuesday, then had modest workouts at Churchill. Most handicappers have dismissed the mysterious men from the East, but China Visit's eye-catching win in the March 25 UAE Derby (where he returned $38 for a $2 ticket) has longshot-happy railbirds thinking of a triple-digit payout...
...legendary prophets of value investing. In the 1930s they preached that the price of a company's stock should be tightly pegged to its profits--the famous price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E, derived by dividing a stock's price by its earnings per share. The dividend yield (the payout as a ratio of the stock price) also mattered. On that basis, stocks have been getting increasingly expensive.

...BONUS Any precious possessions you pack are now covered by a higher payout if an airline loses your bags on a domestic trip.

PROTECTION PLAN Putnam Investments is offering insurance on its mutual funds against a stock slump and your untimely death. If you should expire when the market is down, your beneficiaries will still receive a decent payout. Let's say that at 67 you have a $100,000 investment, and in a year it grows to $150,000. For a 0.3% fee, you can each year lock in at the current account value so that if the stock drops, say to $120,000 the following year--and you drop--your heirs will still get $150,000. If you're under...
