Investors Should Consider Selling Volatility As An Asset Class ~ By Cory Burnell, CFA
Posted by: thepinetree on 10/13/2015 01:54 PM
Valley Springs, CA....(Local Financial Adviser Cory Burnell recently contributed to one of Forbes Magazine's 10 Best Lists) The following is his first paragraph and a link over to the Forbes piece..."Traders primarily invest in these exchange-traded products to profit from a decline in the Volatility Index, known as the VIX, and from the roll yield common in the VIX futures markets (called contango). However, there’s an opportunity here for long-term investors too because that roll yield produces significant returns over time. For example, VelocityShares Daily Inverse Short-Term ETN (XIV) launched on November 30, 2010 and since that time it is up a whopping 143% compared to almost 76% for the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), as of September 29, 2015."

Washington, DC...I've spent every day of my presidency fighting to grow our economy and strengthen our middle class. That means making sure our workers have a fair shot to get ahead here at home, and a fair chance to compete around the world. My approach to trade has been guided by a unifying principle: leveling the playing field for American workers and businesses, so we can export more products stamped Made in America all over the world that support higher-paying American jobs here at home.

Sierra Pacific Industries Thanks Contractors for their Help with Butte Fire
Posted by: thepinetree on 09/30/2015 06:40 AM
Anderson, CA -- Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI) today expressed gratitude to local logging and road construction contractors who took tremendous risks to help control the Butte Fire that burned in Calaveras County, CA this month. During the fire, logging and road building contractors, timber fallers, trucking companies, and other related businesses mobilized equipment to various locations which proved to be critical to limiting the spread of fire. “These businesses and individuals made great sacrifices of time and effort, and in most cases took time off from their primary business activity to build fire lines for the protection of communities threatened by the Butte Fire” said SPI District Forest Manager Tim Tate. “We applaud the courageous efforts of local, state, and federal fire fighters, but the contractors also deserve credit for the work they accomplished,” he added.
The Butte Fire Mountain Ranch Community Meeting Video 9/28/15
Posted by: thepinetree on 09/29/2015 12:01 AM
Mountain Ranch, CA...We attended the Butte Fire Mountain Ranch Community Meeting at ground zero of much of the destruction of the Butte Fire. It is also where you see a great outpouring of community spirit helping those who have lost so much to start working their way back to normalcy. Our video picks up just after Cal-Fire had given their update and where community members talk of their efforts and needs. Similar subject matter as the San Andreas meeting but now details are being fleshed out and next week actual work starts on debris and hazardous materials removal starts. We saw several local contractors there speaking with CalRecyle reps and getting things lined up so they can help with the big clean up before the rebuilding can begin.
