Columbia's municipal elections are less than three months away. Columbia mayor Barbara Buffaloe is seeking a second term in April and has at least two challengers: businessman Blair “Murph” Murphy and Mizzou journalism instructor Tanya Heath. Ms. Heath also ran in 2022. Mr. Murphy co-owns Johnston Paint and Decorating on Buttonwood. Comobuz publisher Mike Murphy, who also anchors afternoon newscasts on 939 the Eagle, discussed the April municipal elections in-detail Saturday morning on 939 the Eagle's “CEO Roundtable.” Murphy tells host Fred Parry that police and the Laborers Union are unhappy with both Mayor Buffaloe and with Fourth Ward Councilman Nick Foster, who is also seeking re-election in April. Murphy says the fourth ward and labor support provided the votes to propel Buffaloe to victory in 2022, noting she beat businessman Randy Minchew by about 800 votes citywide. Murphy says the margin of victory for Buffaloe in the fourth ward was about 1,200 votes, adding that the Laborers Union provided a lot of support after Minchew mentioned the word “privatization” at a public meeting before the 2022 election. Mr. Parry and Mr. Murphy also discussed April's election in Columbia's third and fourth ward, and they also discussed April's Columbia school board race and Columbia Public Schools' (CPS) search for a new superintendent. Murphy tells listeners that no one has stayed elected on Columbia's school board without the blessing of the local teachers union, which is the NEA. The school board held four public forums and one online session last week aimed at gathering input on the qualities and characteristics the community wants to see in the next CPS superintendent. CPS spokeswoman Michelle Baumstark says the board will review applications this week and will screen semifinalists during the week of January 27. Mike Murphy tells listeners that the school board doesn't have a lot of experience hiring a senior executive. “They're like what do you want in a superintendent, what should we hire. They're doing this public thing and they're discussing it among themselves. Hold it. When you're going to hire a CEO (chief executive officer) of an operation like this, you evaluate what you need. You say what is it that we want, where do want to be. What's our short-term problem, what's our long-term problem,” Murphy tells listeners. He and Fred also tackled numerous other issues during the one-hour interview, including last week's week's winter weather, which has featured ice, snow, sleet and more snow and school closings across the entire 939 the Eagle mid-Missouri listening area:

Columbia's popular Johnston Paint and Decorating will be celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2025. The company was founded in 1925 by Columbia businessman LD Johnston and his sons, Paul and Lennie.

Current co-owner Blair "Murph" Murphy joined host Fred Parry in-studio for the hour on 939 the Eagle's "CEO Roundtable" to discuss the upcoming 100th anniversary and Mr. Murphy's perspective on Columbia's homebuilding and remodeling business at this time.

The Buttonwood Agreement, as it came to be known, effectively launched the New York Stock Exchange. Signed by 24 stockbrokers on 17th May, 1792, it promised two things - that they would trade exclusively and directly with each other, and that they wouldn't undercut each other's commission. But they had no permanent building, and only a tiny number of companies to trade. So, until 1817, traders met at Tontine Coffee House at 82 Wall Street - a riotous and dynamic backdrop against which to do business. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly learn what a Buttonwood is; reveal which sitting U.S. President was the first to step foot in the NYSE; and explain what (presumably) happens in the complicated second act of ‘Hamilton'...  Further Reading: • ‘8 March 1817: the New York Stock Exchange is formed' (MoneyWeek, 2020): https://moneyweek.com/429720/8-march-1817-the-new-york-stock-exchange-is-formed • ‘The Tontine Coffee House' (Narratively, 2013): https://narratively.com/the-tontine-coffee-house/ • ‘Hidden History: Wall Street' (HISTORY): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOPw0x0yGJc For bonus material and to support the show, visit Patreon.com/Retrospectors We'll be back tomorrow!

In the late 80s, the quiet Buttonwood neighborhood of Warwick, Rhode Island was shaken to its core when in the span of two years, 4 horrific murders took place. The perpetrator was being called the Warwick Slasher, or the Slasher of Warwick, but the true criminal, once caught, would shock not only the neighborhood, but the whole state and even the country. Join us as we tell you of the most notorious crime in the state of Rhode Island, plus we will go into the background of the perpetrator, as well as everything that has happened since the crimes.

Difficilmente sentirete un consulente finanziario decantare i pregi della liquidità e in particolar modo in un periodo in cui, dopo decenni, si torna a parlare di inflazione. I due motivi più ovvi sono tipicamente che, se il professionista è pagato con commissioni basate su prodotti finanziari che acquistate, allora non guadagna nulla dal fatto che voi manteniate liquidità. Il secondo motivo è che mantenere liquidità equivale a non investire e dunque sembra quasi un controsenso, come se non facesse il suo lavoro di suggerivi dove appunto dovreste impiegare i vostri fondi. Questo podcast non fa consulenza finanziaria e in controtendenza si permette di sottolineare il ruolo della liquidità nel corretto bilanciamento di un portafoglio e a questo proposito si unisce ad alcune riflessioni proposte dalla rubrica Buttonwood dell'Economist di questa settimana. Tradizionalmente la liquidità è associata alla necessità di far fronte ai consumi correnti e agli imprevisti oppure all'attesa opportunità specifiche per le quali alcune attività finanziarie sono temporaneamente sottovalutate.In realtà la liquidità ha anche la fondamentale funzione di bilanciare la duration del portafoglio complessivo. Con questo termine si fa riferimento a un indicatore calcolato come media ponderata delle scadenze dei flussi di cassa attesi con pesi pari al valore degli importi che svolga la funzione fondamentale di misurare la sensibilità del prezzo di un'obbligazione o di un altro strumento di debito a un cambiamento dei tassi di interesse. Per maggiori dettagli tecnici vi rimando alle pillole video del mio canale Youtube. In questa sede il punto da sottolineare è con i rendimenti a breve termine molto contenuti (in qualche caso negativi) i capitali alla ricerca di rendimenti maggiori si rivolgono verso attivi meno liquidi (come gli immobili o il private equity) o obbligazioni con scadenze più lunghe. Questo espone al rischio che rialzi nei tassi di interesse (sempre più verosimili a fronte di un'inflazione crescente) portino a perdite in conto capitale per chi ha necessità di disinvestire. La liquidità è il contrappeso che consente di bilanciare questo fenomeno e per quanto possa apparire controintuitivo in un contesto nel quale il valore reale della moneta potrebbe deteriorarsi come non succedeva da molti anni un approccio di portafoglio razionale prevede la opportunità di incrementare la quota di liquidità detenuta per ridurre la duration compessiva. Per riassumere: la quota del nostro portafoglio sulla quale vogliamo perseguire obiettivi di crescita e rendimento andrà necessariamente impiegata in attività con una duration elevata. Tra queste possiamo annoverare anche le azioni per le quali come ricordato dall'Economist guardando a un indicatore come il cyclically adjusted price-earnings ratio ci troviamo ai massimi storici dai tempi della bolla sulle dot.com della fine degli anni '90.In questo contesto, per bilanciare la duration è possibile incrementare la quota di liquidità detenuta. Questo ha ovviamente un costo opportunità in termini di mancato rendimento, ma offre protezione dai rischi connessi con un aumento imprevisto dei tassi d'interesse. Una soluzione intermedia tra i due estremi della liquidità e degli impieghi con duration elevata è costituito dai portafogli bilanciati come il portafoglio reddito di Advise Only di cui abbiamo parlato nello scorso podcast.Articolo Menzionato nel podcasthttps://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2021/11/13/cash-is-a-low-yielding-asset-but-has-other-virtuesDal 28 ottobre trovate in libreria la nuova edizione del libro “La Finanza in Soldoini” per il marchio Anteprima della casa editrice Lindau.https://www.amazon.it/finanza-soldoni-Massimo-Famularo/dp/8868492458/Iscriviti alla newsletterhttps://lafinanzainsoldoni.substack.com/Leggi le "Storie di Tutti i colori più uno"https://www.amazon.it/Storie-tutti-colori-pi%C3%B9-uno/dp/B09F1G3WZP/Seguite i miei aggiornamenti via https://massimofamularo.com/https://www.youtube.com/c/MassimoFamularo/

Our estate vineyard is planted on the hilltop mesa overlooking the tasting room, orchard and lower vegetable gardens. The vineyard is a set of rolling and undulating hills, each planted to a grape varietal best suited to that particular location. The vines are all planted on their own roots, set into the classic 8’x10′ spacing.Vineyard Manager Armando Zepeda has been farming the vineyard since it was first planted, and seems to know each vine personally. Armando is joined in the vineyard by soil consultant Stan Kadota and viticulturist Francisco Ramirez.Harvest generally begins in September of each year, followed by the planting of a cover crop of barley, sweet pea and fava beans for the winter months. January brings the pruning crew, with each vine cane-pruned, with bud-break generally arriving in March, fruit set in May and veraison in July/August.The vineyard map shows the changes over the years. The original vineyard plan was relatively simple, with largish blocks containing a single grape varietal: Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This reflects our original focus on Bordeaux-style wines.Over the years, our understanding of what grows well in our part of Santa Ynez Valley and our tastes in wine have evolved and we have grafted some of the original vines to other varietals. The biggest change is the addition of the Rhône varietals Syrah, Grenache Noir, Grenache Blanc and Viognier. Malbec was added to our palette of red Bordeaux reds and the Musque clone of Sauvignon Blanc added to give greater complexity and aromatics, and a bit of Chenin Blanc planted in 2017.

During the summer when the heat is stifling, it’s important to take advantage of shade when you are outdoors.  If your yard has no shade trees you may not have much respite from the heat. Shade on your home and air conditioner may also decrease your energy costs in the summer.  With all of these benefits you may be considering planting shade trees on your property.  Planting a tree is a (hopefully) long-term commitment so you want to choose the right tree from the start.  If you choose an evergreen tree you will have shade year-round while deciduous trees will shade your house in summer but allow the sun to warm your house in winter when they lose their leaves.  You can plant shade trees at any time of year; just be sure to follow UF recommendations for proper planting practices.   To learn more about these practices visit Planting and Establishing Trees at http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pdffiles/EP/EP31400.pdf. Pinellas County is unique in several ways- most of us have smaller lots to work with, some have salt breezes from the water to contend with, and we all have wind storms.  You may be wondering what shade trees can we plant here that will thrive in our unique environment?  A favorite shade tree in our county is the Live Oak, Quercus virginiana (large tree, zones 8-11).  Live oak is a great choice but grows very large- up to 40 to 60 feet in height with a 60 to 100 foot spread.  It is drought and salt tolerant as well as wind resistant, which is why it’s a popular choice if you have the room. Sparkleberry, Vaccineum arboreumSweetgum, Liquidambar styracifluaIf you have a moist but well-drained site and space you could consider Sweetgum, Liquidambar styraciflua (large tree, zones 5b-10a) or Sparkleberry, Vaccinium arboreum (small tree, zones 7-10).  These two choices are deciduous, so they will lose their leaves in winter when you would probably prefer more sun anyway.  Their leaves also turn beautiful colors before they fall bringing seasonal color to your landscape.  Sparkleberry has high wind resistance and sweetgum is considered to have medium-high wind resistance.  Sparkleberry also flowers profusely if grown in full sun.Silver variety of Buttonwood, Conocarpus erectusFor smaller property with drier conditions you might consider the following small trees, all of which are salt and drought tolerant and have high wind resistance: Buttonwood, Conocarpus erectus (small tree, zones 10a-11), Simpson’s Stopper, Myrcianthes fragrans (small tree, zones 9-11), and Yaupon Holly, Ilex vomitoria (small tree, zones 7-10).  These three choices are all evergreen and will provide year-round shade.  All three of these choices can be grown as a large shrub or a small tree.  Each of these have unique characteristics that take them beyond a simple shade tree: Buttonwood has a silver variety that has silvery leaves that shimmer in the sun and the wind, Simpson’s Stopper has reddish, flaking showy bark and Yaupon Holly produces beautiful red fruit in the fall and winter on the female plants (males must be present for fruit production). Yaupon Holly, Ilex VomitoriaYaupon Holly fruitThe right shade tree for you may not be on this short list, but remember to consider size, evergreen vs. deciduous, color, seasonal interest, and match growing conditions to your site conditions for the greatest chance of success.  For more guidance with this and other plant choices in your landscape please visit the interactive plant selector Florida-friendly Plant Database at http://floridayards.org/fyplants/.  For information on the health and maintenance of shade trees please visit: http://hort.ifas.ufl.edu/woody/maintenance.shtml.*Northern Pinellas County is in zone 9b, central and southern Pinellas County is zone 10a.

History shows that when debtors default and crisis occur, international monetary systems are remade. A new world order will emerge from the current financial crisis, explains Philip Coggan, Buttonwood columnist and Capital Markets Editor at The Economist, and it will be governed by the creditor nation of the future, China.
