A Newsletter for The Dominion Residents by The Dominion Residents Welcome to The OuTlOOk FEBRUARY 2009 VOLUME 1 ISSUE 1I OUTLOOK The News for the Residents of The Dominion “During the long Texas drought of the 1950s a joke, probably already as old as the state, was told again and again about a man who bet several of his friends it would never rain again, and he collected from two of them.” This line is from Elmer Kelton’s famous book, “The Time it Never Rained”, a chronicle of the terrible record-setting drought of the 1950s in West Texas. In the book, Elmer states that drought, by Texas definition, is a period of severely deficient moisture that laps over from one year into another. “It often lasts two to three years duration. Anything shorter, though it may be serious, is termed a dry spell, as if more annoyance than hardship.” There’s no doubt the long drought of the 1950s is one of the worst on record for Texas. During that period, many cities set records for all-time lowest rainfall in a month and in a calendar year. For example, Austin’s rainfall in 1954 was only 11.42 inches, the driest year on record, dating back to 1856. But very dry weather in 2008, although not long enough in duration to qualify as a drought, is matching, if not exceeding, some of the bad drought years of the 1950s. From the Hill Country to the middle Texas coast, rainfall through late December has been roughly 25 to 50 percent of normal. Data for Austin and San Antonio indicate 2008 was the fourth driest year for Austin and the third driest year for San Antonio, as well as the driest year for both cities since the mid 1950s! In reality, the dry weather of 2008 has not just been a dry spell but rather a very serious drought!

Risks that Manipulate the Stock MarketSubmitted by Sam Gott

In 2007 and 2008 we watched welldiversified portfolios decline 30% to 45%. It seemed thatno typeof investment in thestockmarketworked thewayweexpected.We all watched in amazement the 100 to600pointupanddownmovements(mostlydown).Wesawthemarketgofrom12,000tounder8,000.Ihavebeenhelpingpeoplewith their investments for 38 years and have neverseenthestockmarketgothroughthesegyrationsbefore.Sowhathappened?Inorderto understand what happened, we have tounderstandtherisksthatmanipulatethestockmarket.Forthisarticle’spurpose,wewilldefine risk as the uncertainty of an outcome fromaninvestmentdecision.Thetotalriskthatmanipulatesthemarket

consists of two types: Systematic Risk andUnsystematicRisk.Unsystematicrisksaretherisks that one can minimize by diversification. Unsystematic risk consists of some of thefollowing:1)Businessrisk-theriskassociatedwiththenatureofthebusiness.2)Financialrisk-associated with the use of debt in thefinancing of a firm or property. 3) Credit risk-the risk that an enterprise’s financial condition willdeteriorate.4)Taxrisk-associatedwiththeuncertaintyofanadverseoutcomeduetotheinterpretationoftaxlawsandregulations.5)Politicalrisk-investmentuncertaintythatcouldbecausedbyachangeinthepoliticalclimatewithinacountry.Let’stakeabetterlookatpoliticalrisk.Inourcountry,unfortunately, itseemsthat the

Our government’sinsistence over many years that everyonein this country should be a homeowner, nomatter if they could afford the mortgageor not, along with the greed ofWall Streetin packaging these sub-prime loans to sell,negatively affected our whole financial system and caused the collapse of confidence in the stockmarket.
