The Bucket Approach Can Help You Construct Your Retirement Portfolio

The bucket approach is an asset allocation strategy that divides your retirement resources into three pools, or buckets, based on when you will access the money.

Utilize The Bucket Approach For Retirement Portfolio Construction

There have been many improvements in the world since I graduated from Warsaw Community High School in 1987. Back in those days, we didn’t have the internet or cell phones or flat screen TVs. I got an Apple IIc computer for graduation as I headed off for Indiana University. The Apple Watch I wear today is literally 8,000 times more powerful.

This Is A Safe Harbor?

It's tough for me to understand what in the world the W administration was thinking when it cut a deal with the United Arab Emirates company to manage six U.S.ports. It puts Dubai Ports in charge of major terminal operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia. I guess the main question I have is, "Are you nuts?" That's because so many aspects of this thing seem really bizarre to me. First of all, the fact that W himself didn't know about it until after the fact is just crazy. Apparently, the White House acknowledged W was unaware of the pending sale until the deal had been already approved by his administration. Honestly, it took some 12 departments, including Homeland Security, Justice, Treasury and Commerce to sign off before this deal could be inked, so it's not like it was some huge secret or anything. But now that it has come to light, W is facing a huge political rebellion in Washington.

Lancers Sail Beyond Grasp Of Bethel Pilots

WINONA LAKE -ÊWhen two closely matched rivals meet, there are only a few things a person may count on: the sell out crowd, the intensity of the players, and the fact that only one team will walk away victorious. Saturday proved to be no exception, when the men's basketball team of Grace College hosted the Bethel Pilots in a heated competition that eventually ended with Grace on top by a score of 92- 80 in overtime. Earlier on in the season, the two teams collided at Bethel, where the Pilots walked away with a decisive victory.The two teams have built up a legacy of sorts over the years. Before Saturday's match up, the two teams had gone head to head a total of 93 times, with the Lancers coming out just in front of the Pilots, leading the series 47-46. Now, after the victory this weekend, the Lancers take another step forward and the series sits at 48-46.

"It wasn't our normal lineup tonight," said Warsaw coach Tanya Coon."We were trying to get all the seniors in the lineup.The girls were playing positions they do not normally play.That was probably part of it (falling behind).It was also very emotional because it was Senior Night." Then Warsaw sophomore Nicole DeFord, and seniors Lindsay Woods and Kara Kesler combined to tie the score at 9-all. Senior Amie Poling stepped to the line next and served one point to give the Tigers their first lead since the beginning of the game, 10-9.

Syracuse Business Owner Upset By Recent Burglaries

SYRACUSE - Small businesses in Syracuse may have to step up their security since a number of them have been the victims of thefts and burglaries. One such business is Higgins Sport and Lawn Equipment.Pat Higgins, proprietor, said he has been hit six times in the last year. "My gut feeling is that 50 percent is youth, but there are a large number of professionals who come into the area," Higgins said. Higgins said the only way to solve the problem was for the Syracuse police to drive through the village and through the town at least once an hour.But, he said, he has contacted the state police to handle the investigation because the local police don't seem to put enough hours into the case. "I feel that the state police will take more time to investigate them than the city," he said.
