In this episode of Talking Real Money, Don and Tom dive deep into the question of whether long-term investing in stocks truly guarantees returns. Challenging the conventional wisdom, they examine research by Professor Edward McQuarrie that reveals 10- and even 30-year periods in U.S. and international markets where investors lost money—especially when adjusting for inflation. Despite these sobering findings, the hosts reaffirm their belief in equity markets, emphasizing diversification and the historical outperformance of stocks over bonds. They also critique opaque, sales-driven investment products like private credit funds and annuities, urging listeners to remain skeptical, informed, and grounded in long-term strategy rather than promises of guaranteed returns. 0:24 David Booth says stocks average 10% long-term 1:20 McQuarrie: no guarantee of gains, even over 20 years 2:27 Long-term losses happened—inflation-adjusted 3:16 Diversification helps but doesn't solve everything 4:08 Most individual stocks lose money—own them all 6:04 Stocks reward, but not guaranteed 11:43 Investing = optimism about the future 13:02 Market timing fails—psychics underperform 15:25 Private credit fund OCIC = high risk, low transparency 18:06 OCIC fees are sky-high—10%+ annually 19:42 Annuities explained—loss of control, high costs 21:53 Annuities ≠ bank CDs—know the difference 24:52 OCIC loaded with fees, risky loans Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's Talking Real Money, Don McDonald welcomed two special guests from Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA)—founder David Booth and co-CEO Dave Butler—to discuss their unique investment philosophy and the importance of tuning out financial noise. The conversation centered around DFA's documentary, "Tune Out the Noise," which emphasizes an academically-based investment strategy focused on sensible, disciplined investing rather than market timing and stock picking. Don and his guests explained the distinct difference between DFA's approach and traditional active or passive investing, highlighting DFA's strategy of combining the strengths of indexing with flexible, thoughtful trading to enhance returns. They also discussed how the rise of ETFs and technological advancements are reshaping the investment industry, making it easier for investors to access diversified, low-cost portfolios. Finally, the episode stressed the critical importance of managing emotional reactions to market volatility, reinforcing the value of staying disciplined and diversified to achieve long-term investment success. 2:34 Tune Out the Noise Documentary 4:23 Dimensional's Unique Investment Philosophy 7:31 Adding Value Over Indexing 8:20 Early Challenges and Data Evidence 11:25 The Role of Nobel Laureates 15:24 Active vs. Passive Investing 19:04 The Future of Active Management 23:32 Evolution of the Mutual Fund Industry 26:02 Technology's Impact on Investing 28:28 Behavioral Aspects of Investing 30:47 The Rise of ETFs 32:37 The Trust Factor in Finance 35:22 Tuning Out the Noise Learn more about your ad choices.

1:21 Bevezető. Levédessük a Pásztor György Aréna nevet? 4:14 Erste Liga. Egy meccs volt, és gyakorlatilag vége is az alapszakasznak. Pont a kupában érintett csapatok mérték össze erejüket így már ebben a szakaszban is szóba került az officium Magyar Kupa 4-es döntő. De megnézzük a táblázatot is, hogy mi a helyzet a ligában. David Booth-on ámulunk, meg azon, hogy mennyit változhat egy csapat formája és ereje egy ilyen „rövid” alapszakasz során is, akár csak egy játékos érkezésével vagy éppen kiesésével. 15:40 ICEHL. Sajnos a gödör tovább mélyül. Van oka a gyengélkedésnek, ami pedig a gólok elmaradása. Megnéztük, elemeztük az elmúlt 20 illetve az elmúlt 10 meccses formákat. A Volánt pedig harmadokra szedtük. Egy kis #KislesStat. Kuri, Bartalis, Erdély kiesésével mi tünt el? Csani visszatérésével egyelőre „csak” két vas jött vissza a kupadöntőben, de reméljük Kuri is vissztér és akkor... 40:19 Officium Magyar Kupa 4-es döntő. Megnyerta a Fradi, méghozzá teljesen megérdemelten, amihez ezúton is gratulálunk. Elmondjuk személyes élményeinket, a tapasztalatokat a meccsekrő, a rendezésről, valamint véleményünket a meccsekről, a kupában rejlő lehetőségekről és a 125 dollárról. 1:15:56 #KislesKérdés. Megmutatjuk, hogy szerintetek mi lesz az Erste alapszakasz vége és persze a Kupasorrendet is megmondtátok, ezt is megmutatjuk. ...és még mindig kupázunk

Facing the very real prospect of tumbling into outright irrelevance, storied marque Jaguar is rolling the dice on a complete transformation. The plan, with the first new model expected in late 2026, involves becoming a low-volume, high price, all-electric automaker going toe to toe with high-end automakers Bentley, Aston Martin and even Rolls-Royce.  On today's episode of the Plugged In Podcast, David Booth, a lifelong Jaguar fan incidentally, questions not only the plan itself but more importantly, the timing.

Ask most anyone who followed the recent U.S. presidential election, and they'll tell you that one of the many things that Donald Trump is ‘anti' about is electric vehicles. He plans to scrap the EV consumer rebate credit and put in place policies that favour Big Oil.  On the latest episode of the Motor Mouth Podcast, David Booth offers a stark contrast to those sentiments, and in fact also sees Trump promoting another one of his favourite ‘antis' - China. As always, David's provocative thoughts and conclusions serve for a rollicking ride down the automotive highway.

The stakes are high south of the border as U.S. voters go to the polls on Tuesday to elect a new president, but lost in all the hype and hot air is how a Trump administration could have dire impacts on Canada's automotive sector. David Booth has done the research and crunched the numbers and discovered some existential threats to our domestic industry, one of which we have no remedy for. David has been burning the midnight oil this week researching such diverse subjects as the 60-year-old Canada-US Auto Pact, the United States Mexico Canada Agreement, the Inflation Reduction Act, Trump's proposed car loan deductibility and why the hell is Elon Musk cozying up to Trump? As always, it's a rollicking discussion covering issues you probably haven't even heard about, but are serious enough to have even David fearing what might be to come.

Game changer. Two words that seemingly crop up every time an emerging electric vehicle technology, or even a new EV itself, make headlines. But in almost all cases, that new tech or that new vehicle is far from game-changing, and so stokes more skepticism, if not outright cynicism, about the electric vehicle industry.  David Booth, aka Motor Mouth, has long called the bluff on many of these so-called game changers, but on this week's episode of the Motor Mouth Podcast we find the man himself bestowing just such a description on some tantalizing zero emission sorcery from, of all automakers, Renault. Has the French company really solved the puzzle that has perplexed the industry for over a century now? That is, zero emission running with no associated range anxiety.  Following that discussion David recounts an amazing experiment he experienced first hand in an Alberta laboratory involving a very unorthodox method of creation of hydrogen that could very well be, well, game changing.

A new MP3 sermon from Merrimack Valley Presbyterian Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Finding Contentment - Proverbs 30:1-9 Speaker: Dr. David Booth Broadcaster: Merrimack Valley Presbyterian Church Event: Sunday - PM Date: 7/7/2024 Bible: Proverbs 30:1-9 Length: 41 min.

The impact David Booth has had on your financial life is profound, whether you realize it or not. David is the co-founder of Dimensional Fund Advisors, a firm that fundamentally changed the way we make everyday decisions about practical investing and money. David knew the future of investing would depend on data, so in 1981 he moved a noisy, hot, refrigerator-sized computer into his two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. The machine spit out stock prices for brokers and investment managers around the world, and as a result, Dimensional was one of the first investment firms to apply academic research to practical investing. In this episode of 50 Fires, David talks about those early days of Dimensional, and goes back even further to reflect on his earliest memories of money as a boy in Kansas selling newspapers door-to-door. He shares stories of the growth of Dimensional Fund Advisors, and talks about two of his favorite topics when it comes to investing: randomness and uncertainty.

A federal court has thrown out Louisiana's new congressional district map. Judges ruled last week in favor of a complaint that stated the 6th District was drawn with the racial makeup of voters as the main motivator. The district was set to become the state's second majority-Black district.  To help us understand the ruling and what happens next, we're joined by Piper Hutchinson, a reporter with the Louisiana Illuminator.  NPR's Tiny Desk has a new series host and producer, Bobby Carter. A St. Louis native, Carter's public radio journey started in the South at Jackson State University.  The Gulf States Newsroom's Maya Miller recently sat down with Carter to talk about bridging the gap between music and news and his advice for young people hoping to become journalists. Louisiana has been dubbed the  "sportsman's paradise" for its regions that present world class hunting and fishing. A new state website hopes to also brand it as a paradise for bird watchers.  The state is located along one of the primary migration routes in North America, the Mississippi Flyway, and offers opportunities to see over 470 unique species.  For more insight, we're joined by David Booth, president of the Louisiana Ornithological Society.   __ Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Matt Bloom.

A new MP3 sermon from Merrimack Valley Presbyterian Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Christ the Cure for Legalism and Antinomianism - Matthew 15:1-20 Subtitle: Matthew Speaker: Dr. David Booth Broadcaster: Merrimack Valley Presbyterian Church Event: Sunday - AM Date: 2/25/2024 Bible: Matthew 15:1-20 Length: 44 min.

David Booth, founder and chairman of Dimensional Fund Advisors, reflects on his career in applying the finance theory he learned at the University of Chicago's business school – which now bears his name – to the world of asset management. 

David Booth—the Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Dimensional Fund Advisors—recently wrote an article entitled “Uncertainty is Underrated.” In this episode of Best in Wealth, I'll read this intriguing article and share why I agree that—while it sounds scary—uncertainty has a positive impact on our lives. [bctt tweet="Uncertainty is underrated. I share why the impact of uncertainty is positive in this episode of Best in Wealth. #wealth #investing #WealthManagement" username=""] Outline of This Episode [1:23] The blue cruise function on my F150 [3:11] David Booth's article on uncertainty [10:36] Life is one cost-benefit analysis after another [13:22] How to manage risk: What to do (and not do) [19:31] Why you need to know the basics about uncertainty Uncertainty is why we see stock market returns Without uncertainty, there'd be no 10% annualized return on the stock market. How? According to David, “If there was no uncertainty, returns would be predictable and there would be no difference between putting your money in a savings account or investing it in the stock market.” Risk makes potential rewards possible. When you have money in your savings account and it's earning interest, it's certain that you'll receive interest payments. The stock market is different. It's a roller-coaster. The S&P 500 was down 18.5% in 2022 and up 26% in 2023 (which isn't abnormal). Uncertainty simply means that we don't know—from day-to-day, week-to-week, or month-to-month—what those returns will look like. Everyone is guessing. Over time, the stock market has delivered a 10% return. The reason we see a higher rate of return in the stock market is only because of the uncertainty. [bctt tweet="Without uncertainty, there'd be no 10% annualized return on the stock market. How? I share the reasons in episode #240 of the Best in Wealth podcast! #wealth #investing #WealthManagement" username=""] Life is one cost-benefit analysis after another What is loss aversion? It's the premise that a loss can feel twice as painful as a gain of an equal amount. It might be one reason why uncertainty is underrated. An 18% drop in the stock market feels twice as bad as when the stock market goes up 18%. David points out that “Because of uncertainty, life is one cost-benefit analysis after another, and we have no choice but to manage risk.” We can't ignore it or eliminate it entirely, nor would we want to. But what we must do is prepare for it. And humanity is no stranger to uncertainty. We have to make choices every day and those choices are how we manage risk. David points out that we can't control the weather. But if it looks like it's going to rain, we might carry an umbrella around. The cost is the weight of the umbrella but the benefit of that cost is staying dry. He shares that “When it comes to investing, you can't manage stock market returns, but you can manage the risk you take.” How to manage risk: What to do (and not do) So how do we get better at managing risk? What not to do: Don't try to predict the unpredictable by trying to time the market or pick winning stocks. Many of us struggle with the desire to time the market. But we cannot time it. When we try, it's a loser's game. You'll likely leave a lot of money on the table. What to do: Diversify your portfolio to reduce risk and capture return. Secondly, figure out the amount of risk that you're comfortable with. You should invest and be prepared for a range of outcomes. When you have a plan that you can depend on—and experience uncertainty—the more likely you are to succeed long-term. We've all been managing risks and rewards our entire lives. Some years are better than others. But we stick around to see what happens next. That's why...

In this episode, Greg brings back Money Mike for the second week in a row, as they chat about how to make 2024 a better financial year than 2023, and how to invest your money for your future.Greg also welcomes Bryan Gast of Equite Association talking about the sharp rise in car thefts across Canada, and David Booth of Driving.ca who's in California testing out some impressive supercars!

“Ever regretted that you were too busy to check out some detail at the proper time and got yourself into a pickle as a result? Ever suspected that you, and others around you, may have been so focused on your narrow occupational concerns that important matters passed you by—including perhaps some relatively weighty matters with real implications for all our futures?”  So begins an article by retired social scientist David Booth from the UK…let's discuss it.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/375755062_Too_busy_to_check_it_out_A_retired_professional's_regrets_and_forebodings_about_climate_science_public_health_and_knowledge_in_the_internet_ageVisit our podcast resource page: https://cornwallalliance.org/listen%20to%20our%20podcast%20created%20to%20reign/Our work is entirely supported by donations from people like you.

I had the pleasure of spending a recent evening at The Kitchen Classroom over the holidays, cooking (and eating!) a meal featuring "Flavors of Morocco." (There are also classes featuring Greek, French, Portuguese, Italian, Korean, Cajun and Creole cuisine, and more.) Under the guidance of our chef and teacher David Booth, a dozen of us chopped and sauteed ingredients to produce a gourmet feast of tagine, couscous, and carrot salad – topped off with a lemon cake dessert. It was a party atmosphere as we gathered around our tables to cook, and almost everyone indulged in the wine and beer...Article LinkSupport the show

Following the death of Midlothian High School student Wyatt Fowler, from a vehicular crash, David Booth -- whose son Nicholas died in a vehicular crash last spring -- calls in to the show this Friday morning, to talk to Karen about efforts to persuade teenager drivers to practice safe driving habits and thereby save lives.

A new MP3 sermon from Merrimack Valley Presbyterian Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Murder of Naboth - 1 Kings 21:1-16 Subtitle: 1 Kings Speaker: Dr. David Booth Broadcaster: Merrimack Valley Presbyterian Church Event: Sunday - PM Date: 11/19/2023 Bible: 1 Kings 21:1-16 Length: 52 min.

Music: One thing I ask; Huw Humphries and Wellspring, ‘Echoes of Hildegarde' (Improvisation by Linda Entwistle Jesus det eneste (Jesus, the only One, Norwegian hymn); Andreas Henkel, Wie lieblich sind Deine Wohnungen (Ps. 84) Musicians: Wellspring; Linda Entwistle; Mike Halliday (clarinet), Peter Richards (French horn), Teresa Brasier, Hilary Trotter, Helen Rees, Jo Garcia and Anna Frazer (strings), Nicola Gerard and Elizabeth Long (flutes), Justin Coldstream (keyboard), David Booth (guitar), Beth Davies (bassoon), As the waters flow each day into the harbour, so each tide marks a new beginning. We trust You Lord to make this new beginning in our hearts and to lead us on to glory. Let nothing and no one thwart Your purposes, but may You receive the joy and the praise as we become the people You long for us to be. In the name of the One who was, and is, and is to come. Amen. Jesus, lover of My soul, hold me in Your arms. Develop goodness in my heart through the fire of Your Holy Spirit. Keep me alert and watchful in my spirit. Let no fear hold me back from serving You, No harsh or unclean thought lodge within my heart. Lord, grant blessing to my feet to take me where they should go, To my heart to respond to You from one moment to the next, To my mind to think Your thoughts, To my spirit to know when someone is in need. Thank You that You wish to bless each day that lies ahead, And make it special in Your sight; I live it, Lord, for You. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Thank You that You do not close the gate of repentance in our faces. Therefore, I can bring You all the wrongs that I have done today: the thoughts that have wandered and strayed, the pains that I have caused myself, the mischief I have done to others, and all the subtle ways by which I betray You. Look not on my sins but on Your mercy. May many today experience afresh the joy of repentance and discover that there is nothing You love more than giving people a fresh start. Thank You for Your constant love which welcomes us back and celebrates when we turn from that which is wrong. How can we love God if we hate our brother? Whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him. (1 John 2:9) We never touch Your heart so much as when we love our enemies. Lord, I set my will to bless those who have hurt me, and to love those who hate me, for I am, perhaps, no closer to You, than I am to the person I like least in the world. When people are determined to make life hard for us, may Your Spirit help us to find ways to turn even this hassle and aggression around for good. Forgive us for condemning in others the very things which we excuse in ourselves, or which we are most ashamed of in ourselves. Keep us open to the possibility that there may be other perspectives which are at least as true as our own. May there be no bitterness in my heart; no refusal to forgive or, where appropriate, to attempt reconciliation. Grant me grace to forgive myself, too, Lord Jesus, for all the foolish things I've said and done. Set Your people free from the tormenting shafts of condemnation and bring them into the full liberty of the sons of God. We forgive and pray Your special blessing on those denominations, groups and individuals which we have been hurt by, or which we find it hard to relate to. Make them fruitful and full of joy in serving You. The Lord your God will take great delight in you. He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. Lord, I love You. As I wait on Your now, show me anything You would have me see. Is my desire for You still strong? Are my attitudes honouring? Are there things that You have shown me and that I have yet to respond to? Bring to mind the nudges that You have sent my way and such memories as You want me to ponder or enjoy.

In this episode Gena and Alice had the pleasure of speaking with David Booth, the founder and CEO of OnDeck—a curated community designed to increase your odds of building a successful venture-backed company. Now, if you're thinking that sounds a bit similar to Entrepreneur First's mission, you wouldn't be far wrong. Both organizations share a belief that the world is missing out on some of its best founders, and a passion for catalyzing globally important companies by reducing the barriers for the world's smartest and most ambitious people to go and found them.  In this conversation Alice, Gena and David talked about how David's parents raised him to be entrepreneurial from an early age, why founders need community before they need advice, the mistake of seeking external validation and credentialism as a way of outsourcing your own judgment of readiness, and much more.  Subscribe to The Founder's Mindset so you never miss an episode.

I recently read an article by David Booth—the executive chairman of Dimensional Fund Advisors—titled “Practicing Healthy Habits, Pursuing Wealthy Outcomes.” In the article, David shares some correlations he saw between health and investing after reading “Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity” by Peter Attia. The book dissects scientific research on aging to explore strategies to live longer and healthier. David saw some parallels between how we talk about health and think about investing. In this episode of Best in Wealth, I'll share how you can invest in your wealth—and your health—by taking these three observations to heart. [bctt tweet="I share three important observations on the parallels between #wealth and #health in this episode of Best in Wealth! #retirement #investing #PersonalFinance #FinancialPlanning #RetirementPlanning #WealthManagement" username=""] Outline of This Episode [1:03] How are you doing with your healthy habits? [2:55] The Science and Art of Longevity [6:52] Observation #1: There is no one-size-fits-all solution [9:33] Observation #2: There are no quick fixes [14:31] Observation #3: Prevent problems vs. fix them Observation #1: There is no one-size-fits-all solution to health and wealth There's no one-size-fits-all solution for health. Everyone's body is different. Some people need to lose weight, others need to gain it. Some people need to focus on building muscle and others need to focus on cardiovascular health. The list goes on. There's also no one-size-fits-all solution for investing. Every investor has different goals and risk tolerances. Some people want a cabin up north. Some people want a condo. Some people would rather have a boat or luxury car. Some people want none of those things. Secondly, everyone has a different risk tolerance. The best investment plan is one that you can stick with through hard times. [bctt tweet="There is no one-size-fits-all solution to #health and #wealth. Why? Learn more in this episode of Best in Wealth! #retirement #investing #PersonalFinance #FinancialPlanning #RetirementPlanning #WealthManagement" username=""] Observation #2: There are no quick fixes There's no special pill for health or wealth. Exercise programs and diets won't get you results in days and weeks. Most of us will never have a six-pack. If you have a bad heart, you can't stop eating something today and reverse everything immediately. And when it comes to being wealthy, there are definitely no quick fixes. Why? The stock market has an average return of 10% per year. That means that your money can double every seven years. However, we rarely hit 10% in any given year. Out of the last 100 years, the stock market has only been up between 8–12% six times. It's usually much higher or lower. To take advantage of the miracle of compounding, it takes time. David Booth points out that “Good investing, like good health, requires long-term discipline and commitment.” Observation #3: Prevent problems vs. fix them It's better to exercise regularly and eat well to prevent illness than find yourself in a position of having to fix something. Start being healthy now versus being told you have high cholesterol and a weak heart. Don't wait for the bad things to happen. You can proactively approach investing. You can build a smart portfolio and develop a plan that accounts for a wide range of outcomes. You can make peace with uncertainty. Don't wait to start planning for retirement. You can save more, plan better, get the right insurance in place, and much more if you start early and prevent not...

Choanoflagellates are unicellular protists but they also happen to be the closest living relatives to animals. This week, David Booth discusses what choanoflagellates are, where you can find them, and the connection to animal evolution. He also talks about how these microbes are interesting in their own right, impacting whole food webs and ecosytems and interacting with bacteria. We talk about the fossil record and cover a bunch of major evolutionary transitions and how microbial life was the precursor to the kingdoms of organisms we're most familiar with today.Dr. David Booth, PhD, is an assistant professor at University of California San Francisco.

David Booth—the Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Dimensional Fund Advisors—recently penned an article entitled, “What's Your True Net Worth?” Here is the thing—your true net worth is not a calculation of your wealth. It stems from what you value. Find out what I mean in this episode of the Best in Wealth podcast! [bctt tweet="What is Your TRUE Net Worth? Find out what it really means in episode #217 of Best in Wealth! #wealth #retirement #investing #PersonalFinance #FinancialPlanning #RetirementPlanning #WealthManagement " username=""] Outline of This Episode [1:01] What do you truly value? [3:53] What is your true net worth? [8:40] What's important to you? [11:18] Lifetime Integrated Financial Experience [16:58] Legacy is a big part of net worth What do you truly value? My wife, two daughters, and I did an exercise. My wife had 100 pieces of paper with words listed on them that described something we might value, things like “God,” “Love,” “Career,” etc. We separate the pieces of paper into three piles. One pile was for words that did not define us. Another was a “maybe” pile. The last pile was for the words that resonated with us. We got rid of everything but the third pile. Then we had to quickly grab the two that were most important to us. My two words were “family” and “hope.” Call-to-action: Do this exercise with your loved ones. What two words were the most important to you? What is your TRUE net worth? In his article, David Booth shares that “Many apps today claim to instantly calculate your net worth by adding up your banking and investment accounts and then deducting what you owe on your credit cards and mortgage.” David goes on to say that this calculation only outputs your wealth. Your “worth” is far more complex. David believes that if you make life better for someone else, then you are worth something. It can be true in business and life. What's your true net worth?  This is a great conversation to have with a financial advisor. Why? You need to find where your wealth and your worth intersect. If you do not know what you value in life and your financial advisor can help you determine that, it is priceless. [bctt tweet="What is your TRUE net worth? Find out why it is not just a simple calculation in this episode of Best in Wealth! #wealth #retirement #investing #PersonalFinance #FinancialPlanning #RetirementPlanning #WealthManagement" username=""] What's important to you? Is your money working to help you meet your goals? What's important to you? What are your goals? What are your most important relationships? What are your values? Everyone answers these questions differently because everyone is different. It can be really hard to figure out what you value, right? It becomes apparent as you get older. But when I'm meeting with younger couples, it is hard. Your time is spent working and raising a family. You hardly have time to think about your future goals and aspirations. That is why it is important to go through the big three questions that I covered in episode #201. I use these questions to help my clients figure out what they truly value. What would you do if you could do anything? What would you do if you were given an end date? What would you do if you had one day left? Once you identify what's important, your advisor can help you build a plan that gives you the best shot at reaching your goals. Lifetime Integrated Financial Experience (L.I.F.E.) Money...

Q&A: Most common client questions lately: Election Lessons Learned: “Vote with your ballot not yourlife savings.” ~Dimensional founder David Booth https://my.dimensional.com/elect-to-leave-your-portfolio-alone Will the stock market do worse now that xxx party has won and the election is over? What do the numbers show? Does the stock market do better or worse when “X” party is in office, power?   Lessons learned – do not anticipate or try to outguess the markets. Maintain discipline.
