ROBERT BAUMAN MICHAEL CHECKAN ✔ Rule #2: Always seek to buy undervalued assets. Louis Bass WAYNE LELAND Of course, I don’t begin to claim these seasoned gems of wisdom as my creation. For CANADIAN decades the likes of Benjamin Graham, Peter Lynch, John Templeton and Warren Buffett have INVESTMENT PANEL been telling investors the very same thing. But here’s the rub: BRENT AMEY DAVID MELNIK ERIC ROSEMAN As with most advice, we just have a hard time following it. INVESTMENT U In today’s market, I see it happening more and more with real estate. Encouraged by a DR. MARK SKOUSEN Chairman & Editor huge run-up in prices, investors are still clamoring to own the one investment “that can only ADVISORY PANELISTS go up.” DR. STEVE SJUGGERUD DR.VAN K.THARP I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that exact utterance in the past two years at WAYNE ELLIS cocktail parties, dinners, graduations, birthdays, you name it. And it’s just foolish. The only Managing Director hope for continually soaring prices is a steady supply of even more foolish investors – known MT. VERNON more prevalently as “the greater fool” theory. OPTIONS CLUB KARIM RAHEMTULLA Chairman & Editor Just consider the widespread adoption of “creative” financing schemes and “interest-only” ADVISORY PANELISTS loans, both of which carry considerable risks: and also point to an overwhelming problem: D.R. BARTON, JR. Rule #1 and Rule #2 have gotten a little dusty from lack of use.

    A Nederlander W oman's Recollections of Colonial and W artime Sumatra: From Sawahlunto to Bangkinang Internment Camp Susan Rodgers Introduction* Childhood memoirs by Indonesians about growing up in Sumatra in the late 1920s and 1930s have much to tell students of the country's history and historiography.* 1 Such recollections of youth spent in Sumatran cities, market towns, or villages can sometimes speak volumes about a narrator's personal maturation toward adulthood in those decades of social change. Beyond this, these autobiographies can also narrate versions of Indonesia's own, larger scale "journey to nationhood," out of a "colonial childhood" (a recurrent trope in this type of memoir literature). Such personal recollections can also document the markedly different ways that the late colonial school system, its pedagogies, and the sharp status rivalries among students intent on * My first thanks go to Gerdy Ungerer and her husband Daniel for talking so generously with me. Anne and John Summerfield had the initial idea for these conversations. I am also deeply grateful to Cornell anthropologist James Siegel, Holy Cross historian Karen Turner, and Holy Cross anthropologist Ann Marie Leshkowich, who read early versions of this essay and made numerous astute suggestions. 1 There is a valuable literature on Indonesian autobiography. C. W. Watson's Of Self and Nation is especially insightful. C. W. Watson, Of Self and Nation: Autobiography and the Representation of Modern Indonesia (Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 2000). See also G. W. J. Drewes, "Autobiograffieen van Indonesiers," Bijdragen tot de Taal- Land- en Volkenkunde 107 (1951): 226-264.

  • Creating America: Exploring Early America from Its Beginnings to 1900 Is a Companion Piece to My Previous Book Decade Days: Exploring the Twentieth Century in America
    Exploring Early America From Its Beginnings To 1900 Janet L. Kragen © 2009 Introduction Whenever I teach history, I emphasize cause and effect. I draw connections from one period or incident to others. I weave in geography, economics, and cultural anthropology. I promote critical and creative thinking. I appeal to multiple intelligences and different learning styles. And because I want to make history come alive, I tell stories and include snippets of information that fascinate as well as inform. Creating America: Exploring Early America from its Beginnings to 1900 is a companion piece to my previous book Decade Days: Exploring the Twentieth Century in America. Like Decade Days, Creating America is designed to be a teacher resource. It is not an exhaustive account of American history but serves instead as an outline and supplement to other materials. Creating America can be used with any textbook or—as I prefer—with multiple texts. My favorite technique is to collect 40 or more United States history textbooks, from grades four or five through high school or college, along with some general U.S. history books written for adults, including some written from a very particular point of view. I let my students pick the book that best suits their interest and reading level. The students all read about the same topics but bring different specific information to the classroom discussions. In each chapter of Creating America, you will find a brief lesson designed to capture a piece of U.S. history. Use the lesson to introduce or to review material. Virtually every chapter has a list of resources.
