Correction

Speak Up!
Keep a Child Safe
from Sexual Abuse
by Molly Peoples
As an investor, you may be gaining

familiarity with the term market
correction. But what does it
mean? And, more importantly,
what does it mean to you?
A correction occurs when a key
index, such as the S&P 500,
declines at least 10% from its
previous high. A correction, by
definition, is short-term in nature
and has historically happened
fairly regularly about once a year.
However, over the past several
years, weve experienced fewer
corrections, so when we have one
now, it seems particularly jarring
to investors.
How should you respond to a
market correction? The answer
may depend, to some extent, on
your stage of life.
If youre still working If you
are in the early or middle parts of
your working life, you might not
have to concern yourself much

about a market correction because
you have decades to overcome a
short-term downturn. Instead of
selling stocks, and stock-based
investments, to supposedly cut
your losses, you may find that

advice.)
So, to avoid being forced into
selling, you need to be prepared.
During your retirement years, try
to keep at least a years worth

investments. By having this money
to draw on, you may be able to
leave your stocks alone and give
them a chance to recover, postcorrection.
And its important to maintain a
reasonable percentage of stocks,
and stock-based vehicles, in your
portfolio, even during retirement
because these investments may
provide the growth necessary to
help keep you ahead of inflation.
Consequently, as a retiree, you
should have a balance of stocks
and stock-based vehicles, along
with fixed-income vehicles, such
as bonds, certificates of deposit,
government securities and so on.
Being prepared can help you get
through a correction no matter
where you are on lifes journey.

Pismo Beach
by Guy Crabb
If you are looking for fun places to

visit with your family, we have a
lot of choices in our county. One
of my favorites would be Pismo
Beach, with many interesting
things to do and features to
explore. My wife and I love to
take a walk down the Pismo pier,
watch the waves, and see people
enjoying themselves. Its nothing
new, because people have made
Pismo Beach a tourist destination
for well over 100 years.
Pismo Beach has gone through
many changes over its history
and has gone by several names,
including El Pizmo, Pismo, and
Pismo Beach. John Price founded
the town in the late 1880s to
early 1890s according to different
sources. Property lots were first
sold for as little as $5, and the more
beautiful coastal lots sold for $150
to $500. For the many tourists
that came to visit but did not
want to buy property, the owners
of the El Pizmo Hotel offered a
tent to stay in for the night. The
tent concept became so popular
that the area became known as
Tent City. The tents were 14 feet
by 18 feet and were covered with
a blue and white striped canvas.
They rented for $8 a night. In
1910, there were around 100
tents and a large Pavilion where
