June 2009

June 2009
Welcome
to the first edition of Investor
Insights from a new industry leader in wealth
management: Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. Leveraging even
greater resources and market intelligence, this month we deliver a
perspective on the economic outlook and how it may affect your asset
allocation and fixed income strategy, explore ways to prepare your
portfolio for a recovery, and look back at past bear markets and how they
all eventually recovered. In News & Insights, you will find more
information about how two of the most powerful names in wealth management
have joined forces to offer you thinking and resources to fit the times.
Despite a sustained market rally since March, new
challenges to a recovery are surfacing. Tighter credit availability,
rising energy prices and the continued corporate earnings recession all
contribute to the most recent market observations by David M. Darst,
Chief Investment Strategist, Asset Allocation Committee.
John M. Dillon, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Fixed Income
Credit Strategist, identifies potential dislocation and discusses
value in the tax-exempt market.
Chances are you have worked to position your portfolio
to weather the market downturn. But has that left you poorly positioned
for any market upturns? This article provides information and insight
that can help you strike an appropriate balance.
There is one bright spot in the history of bear markets:
they have eventually turned around—and sometimes dramatically. Here’s a
look at how quickly several major bear markets have reversed in the
past.
In this month's edition of Basis Points, Kevin Flanagan, Fixed
Income Strategist, discusses where to find potential value in the fixed
income markets and comments on the macroeconomy.
The stimulus package and some recently drafted
municipal bond bills may offer yet more promise to tax-exempt municipal
bond issuers. Fixed Income Credit Strategist John Dillon offers his
market observations based on these developments in the Municipal Market Overview.
A mixture of economic positives and negatives dominates
the Treasury market. Fixed Income Strategist Kevin Flanagan reviews
growth opportunities for Treasuries during the remainder of 2009 and
into 2010.

Date: Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 12:49 PM Subject: Personal Finance Daily: One financial crook down, but how many more to go? To: miner.yue@...
A lot of pundits were saying that the 150-year sentence clamped on savings thief Bernard Madoff could help restore confidence in Wall Street and the financial industry. Certainly the traders on the New York Stock Exchange, who cheered the big number when it was handed down, thought so.
But all the Madoff sentencing does is reinforce the mood of distrust about Wall Street. This guy stole billions; the money can't be found and he's not talking; regulators were nowhere to be seen; and all a federal judge can do is make a symbolic gesture with the 150-year stretch for a crook who won't last long in the pen anyway.
Does any of that make an average investor feel good? Of course not. We may all be glad to see Madoff get his due, but it doesn't change one iota the thinking of Main Street that we caught just one crook out of a wide universe of crooks who feasted on our hard-earned dollars.
It also won't do anything to alleviate our feeling that they are out their waiting to feast some more the instant they get the opportunity again.
-- Steve Kerch,
assistant managing editor/Personal Finance
RETIREMENT SAVINGS
Hunt goes on for missing Madoff money
Bernard Madoff ran his multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme for at least 15 years. Some of his victims could be battling nearly that long to get their money back. See full story.
ECONOMY & POLITICS
Barack 'Yogi Berra' Obama at the bat
Here's what Barack "Yogi Berra" Obama might say to defuse the tension, turn things around and win the game, maybe, the pennant and the Series, or at least give us a few chuckles along the way with these "Yogiisms" from the "Zennist Master of All." See Paul B. Farrell.
INVESTING
Fund manager connects with Liberty Media, MasterCard, Fiserv
Todd McCallister isn't impressed by the stock market's recent rebound. In fact, the mutual-fund manager believes the rally is almost out of steam. See The Stockpickers.
Not all savers pay their share of funds' revenue sharing
If the issue of revenue sharing by mutual funds in 401(k) plans hasn't gotten your attention, consider this: It may mean you are paying far more to support your retirement plan's back-office costs than the person sitting next to you. See full story.
REAL ESTATE
New exchange-traded securities linked to home prices
Investors can now bet for or against a recovery in the residential real-estate market with new exchange-listed securities designed to mimic the movement of U.S. home prices. See ETF Focus.
U.S. home prices down in April, but improvement hints at stabilization
U.S. home prices fell in April, but overall annual declines are slowing, according to the national Case-Shiller home-price index released Tuesday. See Economic Report.
British house prices up 0.9% in June: Nationwide
British house prices rose 0.9% in June, offering further evidence the nation's beleaguered housing market is beginning to stabilize, mortgage lender Nationwide reported Tuesday. See Economic Report.
CONSUMER
Consumer confidence falls on gloomier jobs view
A reading on U.S. consumer confidence relapsed in June, falling to 49.3 from a slightly downwardly revised 54.8 in May, as worries grew about jobs and the economy, the Conference Board reported Tuesday. See Economic Report.
Financial planning gets personal
Financial advisers always have considered themselves hand-holders and confidantes, and with the economy in flux, it's no wonder they're logging extra hours playing crisis counselor. But more planners think a sympathetic ear and a pat on the back don't go far enough, especially with clients nursing weak portfolios, even after the bounce-back from the March lows. Instead, thousands of planners and brokers are taking a cue from Dr. Phil, promising to improve your life while they manage your portfolio. See full story.
TAXES
IRA transfer to gift annuity would be taxed
Can I transfer my IRA assets into a charitable-gift annuity sponsored by a qualified nonprofit, and thereby receive the same future stream of monthly income payments as I would by buying an immediate income annuity from an insurer? I am 65 years old and would prefer to leave these assets to an alma mater university rather than an insurance company upon my death. See full story.

Date: Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 1:52 PM Subject: Personal Finance Daily: One good run helps, but nest eggs still hurting To: miner.yue@...
If you were to look just at second-quarter numbers in the stock market, you would think investors would be jumping for joy all over the place. Diversified U.S. equities mutual funds had their biggest three-month run-up since back in the days of the dot-com boom in the late 1990s. Ah, the happiness 20% returns can bring.
Only trouble is, those three months of bliss follow nearly two years of bludgeoning. And lest you think the long-term view is the one to take, consider this: The S&P 500 would have to gain 60% in the next six months in order for this decade to turn out as a breakeven proposition for stocks. Sweet thought, but no way.
Many market analysts expect the third quarter to be another hard one, with stocks pulling back significantly. But most are calling for a year-end rally that could take us higher than we are today. If you are tempted to make portfolio moves, fund managers say, stick with bigger, dividend-paying companies that can hit earnings consistently.
The bottom line, though, is that your nest egg, while looking better at the end of this year than it did the end of last, will still be full of cracks.
-- Steve Kerch, assistant managing editor/personal finance
INVESTING
Lower-quality stocks bring high-quality gains to parched investors
Latin America, Asia shine in quarter, while Europe is an investors' holiday
Mutual-fund investors have cheered the U.S. stock market's bounce since the lows of March 9, but the real stars of the show have been international stock funds -- with unloved Europe looking surprisingly strong. See Mutual Fund/ETF Review & Outlook.
In strong quarter, bond-fund buyers discount specter of higher interest rates
In a tale similar to stocks, a double-digit rebound for riskier high-yield bond funds reflects revived optimism in U.S. companies and improved, if often vexing, economic indicators. But sustaining those bond gains is another story. See Mutual Fund/ETF Review & Outlook.
HEALTH CARE
A tax on health benefits may be coming your way
A tax break that many workers don't even realize they have -- the exclusion from taxable income of their employer-provided health benefits -- has become a pawn in the health-care reform chess game as lawmakers look for ways to pay for an overhaul that would reduce costs, boost quality and extend coverage to more Americans. See Vital Signs.
Obama's health-care promises
WSJ's Laura Meckler speaks about President Obama's approach to health-care before and after winning the presidency, and whether or not President can keep the promises made during his campaign for office about reforming health-care. Watch Video Report.
MEN, WOMEN & MONEY
Why this recession is hitting men harder
The current recession is hitting workers in just about every industry, but men are taking a much bigger hit than women. See Gender Gap.
Payrolls fall at faster pace in June
The U.S. economy shed jobs at a faster pace in June than in May, suggesting that the turnaround in the economy may take longer than expected. See Economic Report.
CAREERS
Five happiness habits that may bring you higher pay, greater success
Think about when you fall in love: You feel great. You look at the world differently. You're ready to take on any challenge. Wouldn't you love to stay in that state forever? See Jennifer Openshaw.
CONSUMER WATCH
A town that shreds together
On a recent Saturday, Bob Maes scraped a melted chocolate bar off his son's wagon, loaded it with eight years' worth of financial records and set off to join his neighbors for Shredder Day in Brielle, N.J. See full story.
MORTGAGES
Cracked houses: what the boom built
Robert and Kay Lynn lay in bed shortly after closing on their new home in the Blue Oaks subdivision in Rancho Murieta, Calif., abutting an 18-hole golf course. They were listening to the "pop, pop, pop" of what they thought were acorns falling onto the roof. See full story.
Mortgage rates continue fall from mid-June peak
Rates on the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell this week, averaging 5.32%, a quarter of a percentage point lower than they averaged at their mid-June peak, Freddie Mac reported on Thursday. See Mortgages.
AUTOMOBILES
Hyundai makes hay with incentives
The Korean automaker is turning the auto industry's depression into a showcase for its affordable models, offering customers the chance to lock in gas at $1.49 a gallon for an entire year. Shawn Langlois reports. See Video Report.
TRAVEL
Traveling through the historic Silk Road
Uzbekistan is one of the most-overlooked tourist destinations in the world, attracting scant interest from Western travelers, especially Americans, after decades of isolation under the former Soviet Union. Patrick Barta reports. See Video Report.
ENTERTAINMENT & LEISURE
With jug wines, more to enjoy
Jug wines used to mean low quality. However, "Tastings" columnists Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher have found several that break the magnum stigma and come out on top. See Video Report.
