When you buy stocks, you buy a small piece of the corporations that issued them. We start with stocks this week, so follow us to learn more about bonds and how to put your investment portfolios together in future posts. It turns out that a few basic principles grounded on economics and data can help us make sense of stocks and bonds, and guide us in making better decisions with our savings. If you have felt like one of those investors before, we have good news for you. The difficulty in selecting portfolios of stocks and bonds, combined with individual biases and past experiences, causes many people to hold suboptimal investments or others to avoid stocks and bonds altogether, to the detriment of their financial plans. In addition, they may have had bad past experiences, particularly with stocks. In practice, however, many people don’t have the confidence needed to select stock and bond investments. You can combine stocks and bonds to help you save for virtually any goal, from growing a nest egg for retirement to saving for college education, to a safety net. Stocks and bonds are very effective tools to grow and manage wealth. "If American women couldn't laugh about the way we discuss rape in this culture, half of us would be sobbing constantly, while the other half, one can only assume, would be arming themselves for the revolution. Harding offers ideas and suggestions for how we, as a culture, can take rape much more seriously without compromising the rights of the accused. Combining in-depth research with practical knowledge, Asking for It makes the case that twenty-first-century America-where it's estimated that out of every 100 rapes only 5 result in felony convictions-supports rapists more effectively than victims. But what, exactly, is it? And how do we change it? In Asking for It, Kate Harding answers those questions in the same blunt, bullshit-free voice that has made her a powerhouse feminist blogger. "From Congressman Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" gaffe to the high school rapists of Steubenville, Ohio, to the furor at Vanderbilt, sexual violence has been so prominent in recent years that the feminist term "rape culture" has finally entered the mainstream. There was a tower, there were pine forests, a salt marsh and a lighthouse, but I slid nonetheless. VanderMeer, though, did it without any Ha'Panthro Roads or Lords of Gargan-Mlxyplyx. You know what it was like? It was like one of those bad fantasy novels from the 1970s that always seemed to open with a line like "Malchior Hunsnuffle, the 7th Lord of Gargan-Mlxyplyx, traveled down the lonely Ha'Panthro Road through the land of Volgor toward the castle of Zalcathrazor." You read something like that and you're on ice from the very start, fishtailing wildly through someone else's freaked-up daydream. The words were like oil sliding around in my brain. There was something about it - something in the tone or voice or pacing of the first sentence, the first handful of paragraphs - that was off-putting. I sat down with Jeff VanderMeer's new book, Annihilation, on a snowy afternoon, cracked it open, and hated it from word one. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
