Currently the virus is most active in the northern half of the world. But experts say it has become the leading influenza virus in all countries. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No one　 really knows how many people have gotten sick. H1N1, often called swine flu, was first reported in Mexico in April. Countries are no longer required to test and report individual cases. But close to half a million confirmed cases were reported to the World Health Organization as of November first.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;DIRECTION:ltr;&quot; width=&quot;210&quot; align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Saudi Arabia&amp;#39;s health minister gives his 8-year-old daughter the H1N1 flu vaccine in Riyadh last week&quot; height=&quot;175&quot; alt=&quot;Saudi Arabia&amp;#39;s health minister gives his 8-year-old daughter the H1N1 flu vaccine in Riyadh last week&quot; hspace=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://www.voanews.com/specialenglish/images/AP_saudi_flu_w_10nov09_se_0.jpg&quot; width=&quot;210&quot; vspace=&quot;2&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;imagecaption&quot;&gt;Saudi Arabia&amp;#39;s health minister gives his 8-year-old daughter the H1N1 flu vaccine in Riyadh&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;The W.H.O. offices for the Americas and the Western Pacific reported two out of three of those cases. The agency says more than six thousand people worldwide have died from H1N1. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;W.H.O. special adviser Keiji Fukuda said last week that the virus has continued to act in some ways like seasonal flu. Most people recover without any need for interventions like antiviral drugs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But in other ways H1N1 is different. It remained at unusually high levels in several countries during their summer months. And, unlike seasonal flu, younger people have suffered many of the serious cases and deaths from H1N1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the United States, cases of suspected influenza are at higher numbers than usual this early in the flu season. Experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say hospital treatment for likely H1N1 is most common among children up to four years old.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Health officials around the world are concerned about vaccine production. Wealthy countries have promised to donate ten percent of their H1N1 vaccine to poor countries. But there is a worldwide shortage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The traditional way to make flu vaccine is to grow the virus in chicken eggs. Anthony Fauci at the National Institutes of Health says the shortage is an issue of biology. He says the companies that make vaccines cannot really do much when they have a virus that does not grow well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Saudi Arabia, officials are preparing for the Hajj, which starts this year during the last week of November. The event normally brings about three million Muslims from one　 hundred sixty countries to the holy city of Mecca. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Disease experts worry that H1N1 could spread easily in the crowds. The Saudis have a campaign to vaccinate health workers. They are also urging countries to vaccinate pilgrims making the trip. And they are advising against travel by children, pregnant women and other groups at highest risk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And that&amp;#39;s the VOA Special English Health Report, written by Caty Weaver.

General Motors of the United States and Toyota of Japan have also previously announced plans to launch, within the next couple of years, small passenger cars in India. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Renault-Nissan next year is to open a passenger car factory in the southern Indian city of Chennai with a capacity to make 400,000 vehicles a year. But the new joint venture small car is to be made at a Bajaj plant near Pune, in western India.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;table class=&quot;APIMAGE&quot; style=&quot;DIRECTION:ltr;&quot; width=&quot;205&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Tata Nano&quot; height=&quot;190&quot; alt=&quot;Tata Nano&quot; hspace=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://www.voanews.com/english/images/herman_tata_nano_190eng23mar09_1.JPG&quot; width=&quot;205&quot; vspace=&quot;2&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;imagecaption&quot;&gt;Tata&amp;#39;s Nano&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;The French-Japanese automaker ranks in the top four globally, accounting for a 10 percent market share. But its success in India has been more modest, trailing most competitors. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ghosn calls sales here of its Logan brand mid-sized sedan, a money-losing joint venture with domestic automaker Mahindra, not up to expectations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;We cannot just accept a situation where in India we represent less than one　 percent market share,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;That is absolutely out of question. We have to adapt to the Indian market. We have to adapt to the product that the Indian people want. We need to bring what the people want exactly in the kind of performance that they are looking for, both in terms of product, in terms of technology and in price and in term of [fuel consumption].&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ghosn is bullish on the future of India&amp;#39;s automotive sector, with a population of more than one　 billion people, but where annual new car sales are around two million vehicles. The Renault Nissan top executives predict the number of autos sold in India will triple in 10 years as more of India&amp;#39;s 50 million motorcycle owners move from two wheels to four.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

    <title><![CDATA[0062. 원자재 지수 펀드의 중요 선택기준은? : 선물지수 편입비중]]></title>
    <description>
        &lt;p&gt;원자재에 투자하는 방법은 크게 세가지입니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. 원자재 부국에 투자하는 방법 : 원자재 부국인 브라질, 러시아, 인도네시아등의 국가 주식에 투자하여 수익을 올리는 방법&lt;br&gt;2. 원자재 기업에 투자하는 방법 : 글로벌 원자재 기업에 집중투자하는 방법.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Ex. JP 모건 천연자원&amp;nbsp;펀드, 블랙록 월드광업주, 우리 천연자원 주식형 펀드 등.&lt;br&gt;3. 원자재 지수 상품에 투자하는&amp;nbsp;방법 : 원자재&amp;nbsp;가격을 반영하는 선물지수에 투자하는 방법&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ex.&amp;nbsp;미래에셋 Commodity Index펀드, 우리 Commodity&amp;nbsp;Index 펀드 등.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;세가지 방법에 따른 장,단점을 분석하는 것도&amp;nbsp;재미있는 주제이긴 하지만, 오늘은 원자재 지수 상품과 관련하여 주요 상품의 수익율을 비교해 보고, 차이의 원인과 어떤 펀드를 고르는 것이 수익율에 도움이 되는가에 대해 논의해 보도록 하겠습니다.&lt;br&gt;여기에서 보여드리는 예들은 여러종류의 원자재에 고루 투자하는 상품들에만 국한해서 보여드리며, 특정 섹터(원유, 금등)에&amp;nbsp; 집중투자 하는 상품들도 비슷한 관점에서 비교할 수 있으리라 생각합니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;다음에 보여드리는 그림은 원자재 가격이 저점을 치고 상승으로 전환되기 시작한 금년 4월부터의 펀드별 수익율입니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;http://img.blog.yahoo.co.kr/ybi/1/5d/07/adliber33/folder/3/img_3_558_0?1257672148.jpg&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; height=&quot;525&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;원자재 지수 펀드는 일반적으로 추종지수라는 것을 같게 되는데 펀드별로 추종지수가 다르고, 추종 지수 별로 섹터별 구성비가 다릅니다. 그런 이유로 원자재 펀드의 수익율 차이는 추종 지수의 섹터별 구성비가 아닌가 하고 판단하실 수 있을 겁니다.&lt;br&gt;저도 그림을 그려 보기 전까진 그런 생각을 해왔습니다만, 그림은 수익율 차이가 다른 원인에 의해서 발생하는 것임을 보여줍니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;지수 구성비에 의한 차이가 다르다면, 구성하고 있는 상품들의 가격이 제각기 다르게 변하기 때문에, 펀드별 그래프가 동일한 형태로 나타날 수가 없습니다. 하지만 그림은 네 펀드가 모두 동일한 형태를 띄고, 수익율 차이만 발생시키고 있네요. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;그렇다면 수익율 차이는 단순해 집니다. 바로 원자재 지수에 총자산의 얼마가 편입되어 있는가 하는 점입니다.&lt;br&gt;원자재 지수 펀드는 총자산의 5~20% 정도만 선물을 사고, 나머지는 채권으로 운영되는 스타일입니다.&lt;br&gt;채권 비중이 높으므로 수익율이 안나겠네 하시겠지만, 선물을 살때 레버리지를 사용하게 되므로, 컨셉상 원금 거의 전부를 선물에 투자한 효과가 나게 설계 한다고 알고 있습니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;u&gt;원자재 지수 펀드를 선택하는 기준은 아주 쉬워 졌습니다.&amp;nbsp; 자산대비 선물에 투자하는 비율이 그 기준입니다.&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp; 눈치채셨겠지만,&lt;br&gt;삼성 Commodity Index 펀드가 편입비율이 가장 낮을 것으로 판단됩니다. 반면, 우리와 미래에셋의 편입비는 비슷한 수준에서&lt;br&gt;타 펀드 대비 상대적으로 높을 것으로 예상됩니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;수익율 극대화를 위해서는 우리나 미래에셋을 선택하시는 것이 바람직할 것입니다. 이해되셨나요. 투자는 상승장에서만 하는 것이 바람직하기 때문에 이같이 말씀드립니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;참고로, 하락장까지 포함하여 그림을 그려보면, 다른 면도 발견하게 됩니다.&lt;br&gt;2008년 3월이후 그림에서는 삼성Commodity가 덜 손실을 본 것으로 나옵니다. 이것은 삼성펀드가 선물 편입비가 낮아, 장기 하락장에서 손실을 덜 보았기에 나온 결과입니다.&amp;nbsp; 하지만 투자의 본질은 상승장에서만 하는 것이기 때문에 하락장 성적을 무시하고, 우리나 미래에셋 상품이 더 좋겠다는 Comment를 드립니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;http://img.blog.yahoo.co.kr/ybi/1/5d/07/adliber33/folder/3/img_3_558_1?1257672148.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;375&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        네이버에서 분석가이신 조익재씨의 글을 가져왔습니다. 10월초에 씌여진 글이지만, 현재의 시류를 잘 반영하고 있는 것 같아&lt;br&gt;가져왔습니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;=================================================================================================================&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;상반기 증시의 랠리 배경은 중국경기 회복, 하반기 증시랠리의 배경은 미국경기의 회복이다. 다시말해 상반기 랠리는 중국 PMI가 50을 넘어서는 &amp;#39;중국경기 회복&amp;#39;을 반영한 반면, 하반기 랠리는 미국 ISM이 50을 넘어서는 &amp;#39;미국경기 회복&amp;#39;을 반영한 것이다.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://imgstock.naver.com/upload/stock/admin/1254811555675.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;필자는 이처럼 세계경기를 주도하고 있는 두 국가의 경기 회복 싸이클에 시차가 존재한다는 것이 향후 투자전략 수립에 있어 핵심적인 요체라고 보고 있다. 왜냐하면 이러한 경기 회복 싸이클의 시차는 향후 증시에 가장 압박요인으로 작용할 수 있는 &amp;#39;글로벌 출구 전략&amp;#39;의 시행도 시차가 있을 것임을 예고하는 증거이기 때문이다.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;이는 경기 회복 싸이클의 초입국면에 있는 미국경기가 이미 경기 회복 싸이클의 정점에 도달한 중국의 출구 전략을 자극할 수 있다는 의미로, &amp;#39;미국경기 회복 → 글로벌 산업생산 회복 → 원자재 가격 상승 → 글로벌 물가 반등 → 중국 통화정책의 전환 → 중국 경기선행지수 정점 통과&amp;#39;의 과정이 일어날 가능성이 크다는 것을 시사한다.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;또한 미국 경기회복 과정에서 안전자산 선호로 인한 달러 약세 현상은 우리나라 경기에도 부정적 영향을 미칠 것으로 전망된다. 이는 원화 강세와 유가 강세가 합쳐지면 큰 그림에서 볼 때 우리나라의 교역조건이 악화되기 시작했음을 시사하기 때문인데, 이 지표(원달러 환율 상승률+유가 상승률)는 역사적으로 약 6개월 먼저 우리나라 경기선행지수의 방향을 가리켜 왔음을 고려하면 선행지수 Peak-out 문제가 4분기 증시의 논란거리가 될 것임을 의미한다.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;실물경기와 소비와의 괴리감 주목 : 가계는 부채조정중&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;물론 미국의 회복세가 쉽게 꺾이지는 않을 것이라고 판단되나 이 모멘텀이 아시아 국가의 출구 전략이나 선행지수 peak out 문제를 이겨내도록 할 수 있는 힘인지 진단할 필요가 있다. 이 판단이 향후 증시가 조정을 받을 것인가 여부를 결정할&amp;nbsp; 뿐만 아니라, 만일 조정을 받는다면 얼마나 받을 것인지에 대한 판단까지 좌우하는 문제이기 때문이다. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;어차피 미국경기는 소비가 가장 중요한데, 일반적으로 소비를 &amp;#39;소득 * 소비성향 + 가계신용&amp;#39;으로 정의해 볼 때 최근 미국의 경기지표는 가계신용을 제외하고 모두 개선되는 흐름을 보여 왔다. 그러나 필자는 이러한 실물경기의 회복에도 불구하고 미국의 소비가 예전 경기 회복기처럼 탄력적으로 회복될 가능성은 여전히 불확실하다고 본다. 왜냐하면 &amp;#39;07년이전 주택경기 버블 형성기간에 가계의 레버리지가 너무 높아졌고, 아직도 미국 가계는 그 부채를 갚아나가는 &amp;#39;부채 조정&amp;#39; 국면에 있는 것으로 보이기 때문이다.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;lt;그림2&amp;gt;에서와 같이 신용시장의 전체적인 분위기를 보여주는 연체율을 보면 아직도 상승중이고 이것이 약 15개월을 선행하면서 향후 가계 신용증가율의 방향성을 제시해 온 사실에 의거해 볼 때, 미국의 가계 신용증가율은 내년 하반기나 되어야 회복될 수 있을 것으로 본다. 또한 이러한 연체율의 지속적인 상승은 대출자로 하여금 보수적인 대출 태도를 갖도록 하는데, &amp;lt;그림3&amp;gt;에서 은행의 대출의사지수와 가계 신용과의 관계를 보면 빠르면 내년 2분기에나 가계 신용이 확대될 수 있음을 볼 수 있다.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;결론적으로 말하면 미국은 아직 가계 신용의 본격적인 확대를 수반한 탄력적인 소비 증가 국면이 아니며, 이는 내년 하반기 정도가 되어야 가능할 것으로 판단된다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://imgstock.naver.com/upload/stock/admin/1254811613288.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://imgstock.naver.com/upload/stock/admin/1254811629300.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;부양책 종료, 물가… 미국 소비 모멘텀 4Q에 약화 리스크&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;또 하나, 필자가 미국 뿐만 아니라 전체 글로벌 경기에 대해 현 시점에서 가장 관심을 갖고 있는 이슈는 &amp;#39;각국 정부의 부양책에 의해 반등한 경기가 부양책이 사라지기 시작하면 어떻게 될까?&amp;#39; 하는 의문점이다. 이는 각국 정부의 부양책이 약해지더라도 민간 부문에서 자생적으로 회복의 싸이클을 이어갈 수 있을까에 대한 의문인데, 앞서 미국 가계 소비가 신용 확대와 더불어 탄력적인 회복 상태가 아니라면, 부양책의 감소는 경기 모멘텀의 약화로 이어질 수 있기 때문이다.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;이미 자동차 부문에서 중고차 보상 프로그램이 종료되었고, 11월경이면 주택 부문에서 생애 첫 주택매입자에 대한 지원 프로그램도 종료될 것으로 보이는데, 이는 다가올 연말 비수기에 두 부문의 판매 실적이 예상보다 하회할 가능성을 높이고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이미 이러한 불안감은 지난 8월 내구재 주문이 예상치를 하회하면서 가시화되고 있다.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;결론적으로 이러한 모든 변화를 고려하면 미국의 경기 회복세는 4Q의 모멘텀이 3Q보다 약해질 것으로 판단된다. &amp;lt;그림4&amp;gt;에서 보듯 현재 미국 성장률에 대한 글로벌 컨센서스도 3Q보다 4Q의 수치가 낮은 것으로 전망되고 있다. 이처럼 미국 경기도 4Q에 소폭 둔화된다면 국내외 증시의 조정압력은 피하기가 쉽지 않을 것으로 보이며 최근 미국 경기지표 부진에 따른 증시 조정도 이러한 맥락에서 이해할 수 있다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://imgstock.naver.com/upload/stock/admin/1254811780720.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;4분기 글로벌 증시 하락 리스크.. 내년 봄부터 다시 상승할 것으로 전망&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;종합하면 4분기 글로벌 증시는 하락 리스크가 있다는 결론이다. 가장 큰 악재는 우리나라나 중국처럼 이미 경기가 많이 회복된 국가들의 경기선행지수가 정점을 지날 것이라는 점인데, 이는 이들 국가의 물가 압력이 점진적으로 높아지면서 &amp;#39;출구 전략&amp;#39;을 시행하는 쪽으로 정책의 전환이 발생할 것이기 때문이다.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;그러나 이번 조정은 과거 경기선행지수가 꺾일 때 평균적으로 나타났던 고점 대비 30% 정도의 깊은 조정은 아닐 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 전망의 가장 중요한 배경은 앞서 언급한 바와 같이 미국 가계의 부채 조정이 내년 상반기안에 마무리되고, 하반기부터는 미국이 신용 증가를 수반한 실질적인 소비 회복국면으로 진입할 가능성이 높다는 점이다. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;이렇게 볼 때 올 겨울은 글로벌 전체적으로 올해 정부 주도의 성장국면에서 내년 민간 주도의 성장국면으로 전환되는 과도기적인 성격을 갖는다고 볼 수 있다. 즉, 올 겨울은 가계와 기업 등 민간 부문의 회복이 완전하지 못한 상황에서 정부의 부양책이 조금씩 약화되는 기간이기 때문에 경기 동력의 공백이 생기는 기간이라는 의미이다. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;이를 종합해 보면 2010년 증시에 대한 전망도 대략 윤곽이 드러나는데, 올 겨울부터 조정을 시작할 아시아 경기는 길고 깊은 조정이 아니라 불과 내년 상반기 정도까지의 짧은 조정을 마무리하고 미국 소비 회복에 힘입어 다시 회복될 수 있을 것이라는 판단이다. 따라서 증시는 이번 고점에서 10%-15% 정도 조정을 받은 후 내년 봄 즈음부터 다시 상승할 것으로 보인다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <description>
        &lt;p&gt;주식시장에는 주기가 있고 추세라는 것이 있습니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;혹시 자신의 주식(또는 펀드)투자가 비중조절없이 언제나 돈이 박혀 있다면 문제가 있는 주식투자라고 할 수 있습니다.&lt;br&gt;(단 정액적립식 투자는 예외로 합니다.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;그렇다면 주식 투자를 해야할 시기가 있고, 투자를 쉬어야 할 때가 있는&amp;nbsp; 것일까요? 대답은 예스입니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;오늘 이 글에서는 제 관점에서 한가지 기준을 제시하고자 합니다. 경험적이긴 하지만,&amp;nbsp;챠트에서는 같은 양상이 반복되고 있으며, 감성적인 투자를 억제하고 이성적인 투자를 할 수 있는 유용한&amp;nbsp;도구가 될 것이라 생각합니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;다음은&amp;nbsp;KOSPI의 2009년 1월부터&amp;nbsp;현재까지의 Bollinger Band 곡선을 포함한&amp;nbsp;캔들차트의 보기 입니다.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;http://img.blog.yahoo.co.kr/ybi/1/5d/07/adliber33/folder/3/img_3_556_1?1257158478.jpg&quot; width=&quot;800&quot; height=&quot;576&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;볼린저 밴드 곡선은 빨간색으로 표시된 상한선과 녹색으로 표시된 중심선, 그리고 파란색으로 나타낸 하한선으로 구성됩니다.&lt;br&gt;각각의 선들이 어떻게 계산된 것인가에 대한 설명은 생략하도록 하고, 응용에 촛점을 맞추어 보겠습니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;지수의 상승기와 추세전환시점(또는 박스권), 그리고 하락기에서 어떠한 일들이 나타났는 지를 관찰해 보기로 하죠.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;상승기에서는 5일선이 상한선과 중심선의 사이에서 움직이고 있습니다. 상승추세가 강화되는 경우 상한선과 하한선 사이의 간격 (Span)이 확장되는 것을 볼 수 있습니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;상승초기에 좁았던 상하한선 폭이&amp;nbsp; 점차로 커져 Peak를 치고 다시 스팬이 작아지다가 ,횡보구간에 들어가게 되면 스팬의 폭이 작아집니다.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;횡보구간이 지속되다가, 추세가 전환되는 시점은 어떠한 현상이 일어날까요?&lt;br&gt;5일선이 중심선을 뚫고 내려와 중심선과 하한선 사이로 내려오는 점이 추세 전환을 예고하는 점으로 보입니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;그림의 10월에 나타난 현상은 5일선이 중심선을 뚫고 내려와 다시 중심선을 재돌파하는 시도 중 실패하고 하향추세로 접어드는 모양을 하고 있습니다. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;추세가 강화되는 상황이며,&amp;nbsp;향후 Span이 넓어지면서, 5일선이 하한선과 중심선 사이에서 하향하는 양상이 전개될 것입니다.&lt;br&gt;오늘의 일봉은 하한선을 관통하였으므로 하한선 안쪽으로 들어오는 기술적 반등이 있을 것으로 보입니다만, 볼린저 밴드 팽창이 막 진행되는 시점임을 직감할 수 있습니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;요약해 보죠.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. 투자적기: 5일선이 볼린져 밴드 상한선과 중심선 사이에서 진행되는 시기이면서, 중심선이 상향하고 있는 시기.&lt;br&gt;2. 투자를 피해야 할 시기 : 5일선이 볼린져 밴드의 중심선을 뚫고 내려오는 시점에서 시작하는, 5일선이 중심선과 하한선 사이&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 에서 움직이는 시기&lt;br&gt;3. 추세가 강화될 때 나타나는 현상 : 볼린져 밴드 스팬이 확대되며, 5일선이 상한선이나 하한선쪽으로 5일선이 근접함.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;끝으로 2007년 11월부터 현재까지의 볼린져 밴드 곡선의 그림입니다. 연습삼아 위에서 제시한 현상들을 확인해 보시기 바랍니다. 충분한 유용성을 확인하실 수 있을 겁니다.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;http://img.blog.yahoo.co.kr/ybi/1/5d/07/adliber33/folder/3/img_3_556_0?1257158478.jpg&quot; width=&quot;800&quot; height=&quot;576&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The three-and-a-half percent growth was the first expansion in more than a year, and the strongest in two years. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;The government said increases in consumer spending and exports and improvements in business investment led the growth. So did increased federal spending and housing investments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;DIRECTION:ltr;&quot; width=&quot;210&quot; align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;The economy is growing again, but when will jobs follow?

Job seekers attend a jobs fair in Little Rock, Arkansas, Tuesday.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;But high unemployment could limit growth for some time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;President Obama had this reaction to Thursday&amp;#39;s report on the gross domestic product -- a wide measure of goods and services in the economy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;BARACK OBAMA: &amp;quot;This is obviously welcome news and an affirmation that this recession is abating and the steps we&amp;#39;ve taken have made a difference. But I also know that we&amp;#39;ve got a long way to go to fully restore our economy and recover from what&amp;#39;s been the longest and deepest downturn since the Great Depression.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;That downturn was partly caused by bankers and others taking irresponsible risks to earn huge payments. So say their critics. Criticism of Wall Street pay &amp;nbsp;is nothing new. But never before has the government used hundreds of billions of dollars to rescue companies that made risky investments. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;In June, the Obama administration appointed lawyer Kenneth Feinberg as the &amp;quot;special master&amp;quot; on executive pay -- also known as the pay czar. Congress gave him power over compensation of the twenty-five highest-paid employees at seven companies most indebted to taxpayers. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;This week, he gave lawmakers a progress report. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;&lt;table class=&quot;APIMAGE&quot; style=&quot;DIRECTION:ltr;&quot; width=&quot;210&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Kenneth Feinberg&quot; height=&quot;174&quot; alt=&quot;Kenneth Feinberg&quot; hspace=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://www.voanews.com/specialenglish/images/AP_feinberg_w_29oct09_se.jpg&quot; width=&quot;210&quot; vspace=&quot;2&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;imagecaption&quot;&gt;Kenneth Feinberg&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;KENNETH FEINBERG: &amp;quot;We greatly reduced the amount of cash that would be made available to these senior officials. We reduced that cash by approximately ninety percent.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;The seven companies are in the financial and auto industries. Now Kenneth Feinberg must consider their next seventy-five highest paid officials. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;But some management experts warn that limiting pay could make it harder for taxpayers to get their money back. Edward Lawler at the University of Southern California says these companies may now have difficulty getting and keeping high-quality employees. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;But he agrees that in recent years, many companies have tied pay to short-term performance, instead of their long-term health. He also says boards of directors need to do more to control pay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;EDWARD LAWLER: &amp;quot;We could have boards that do a much better job of designing compensation plans. If we had good boards, I think they could certainly do a better job of that than the government can.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;Last week, the Federal Reserve proposed to examine pay policies at thousands of banks. The central bank would reject policies that it thought might cause bankers to take too much risk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;And that&amp;#39;s the VOA Special English Economics Report.

The 10 story building is located in , and it is part of concerted effort to put the city on a sustainable energy path. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Elithis tower is a striking sight in the heart of Dijon&amp;#39;s business district. Black, with a red metal skirt - which actually is a sun shield - it is sandwiched between the city&amp;#39;s opera house and a hotel. But the tower is more than just another handsome landmark -- from the ground floor to its solar-panelled roof, it is an experiment in a greener way of working and living.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Francois Pocheron, a senior manager for the Elithis engineering firm that designed the tower, takes visitors on a tour of the building. Just about every aspect of its design and construction is aimed at conserving energy - and harnessing natural elements like sunlight and rain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In fact, Elithis director general Thierry Bievre says the building consumes almost no energy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bievre says massive, double-paned windows allow the maximum of light in - so that even on a cloudy day, workers don&amp;#39;t need to switch on electricity. Sunlight streaming in helps warm the building during the winter, while a red metal skirt helps deflect the sunshine to help keep the building cool during summer months. Rainwater is used for both the air conditioning system and for sanitation. Onc　e it is completely operational, the building should produce more energy than it consumes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To achieve the cutting edge design, Elithis tapped young architects and encouraged all of its employees, including construction workers, to be actively involved in its development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Bievre says, another experiment is unfolding - to see whether those working in the building will change their energy habits. They will have to, in fact, if the Elithlithisis tower can live up to its claim to be a positive energy building. To do so, employees must turn off their computers at night and use the minimum amount of heat and lights. The company has hired sociologists to track the behavior of the employees over the next three years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every company with office space in the Elithis building also has signed on to an environmental charter. That includes a group of radiologists who moved into the first floor. Jean-Yves Cobacho heads the unit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Today in this building we have light everywhere. We work with natural light. [Before] we used artificial light. It [this] is better for us. We start working at 7 am and we leave at 8 pm. Sometimes we never see the sun all day. And now, we see the sun and the light,&amp;quot; said Cobacho.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;X-NONE&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cobacho says the doctors are also using less radiation to make X-rays, because it is healthier for their patients. They have stopped using X-ray film because it is better for the environment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dijon Mayor Francois Rebsamen hopes to see similar changes elsewhere in the city.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rebsamen says efforts are currently underway to build 700 low-energy housing units in three neighborhoods - which aim to be vehicle-free. Residents will walk or bike instead. Overall, by the year 2020 he says, Dijon wants to reduce its greenhouse to one　 quarter of what they are today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Outside the Elithis tower, 19-year-old Joanne Pousset waits for a bus. She says she knows the building is environmentally friendly - and she likes that. She also says the tower may not be exactly beautiful, but it&amp;#39;s colorful - and a nice change from the usual office building.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Rewards improve cooperation&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; hspace=&quot;2&quot; alt=&quot;Rewards improve cooperation&quot; vspace=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;http://www.voanews.com/specialenglish/images/Photos_college_group_w_20oc.jpg&quot; width=&quot;210&quot; height=&quot;148&quot;&gt;They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner&amp;#39;s Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The group with the most punishment earned twenty-five percent less than the group with the least punishment. The study appeared last month in the journal Science. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were ages two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were ages five to nine. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;The study says the IQs -- or intelligence quotients -- of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire worked with Mallie Paschall from the Pacific Institute for Research and Eval　uation. Professor Strauss has written extensively about physical punishment of children. He says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development. He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;article_14&quot;&gt;What do you think are the best ways to correct misbehavior?

Officials from both sides say they are committed to getting rid of North Korea&amp;#39;s nuclear weapons, and are planning for any scenarios that could destabilize the North. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates says he and his South Korean counterpart, Defense Minister Kim Tae-young, reaffirmed the two countries&amp;#39; alliance this week during consultations in Seoul.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;I reinforced onc　e more the unwavering commitment of the United States to the defense of the Republic of Korea,&amp;quot; Gates said.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The two officials said Thursday the full array of U.S. military might, including what is known as the &amp;quot;nuclear umbrella&amp;quot; is available to South Korea to defend itself against attack.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;North and South Korea remain technically at war. The United States deploys about 28,000 troops here to help deter North Korea from repeating its 1950 invasion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Under the present agreement between the two alliance partners, the United States would command South Korean forces if the Korean War ever re-ignited. That is to change in 2012, when Seoul will regain wartime command of its armed forces.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gates says the hand-over process is on schedule.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;I have full confidence in the ROK military&amp;#39;s ability to take the lead in the combined defense of this peninsula,&amp;quot; Gates said.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;South Korean Minister Kim says the two also discussed contingency plans in the event of instability inside North Korea.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He says details are being looked at very closely. The two countries are planning for &amp;quot;all possible scenarios,&amp;quot; he says, to make sure there are no negative effects from possible events inside North Korea. Kim says the U.S. and South Korean interest in the matter is very serious.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gates moves next to Eastern Europe. He has been consulting with international partners on contributions to stabilization efforts in Afghanistan. Gates said Thursday he did not make any specific request of South Korea, leaving the matter to Seoul&amp;#39;s discretion. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
