Business Owners Survey |

BROADBAND/TELECOMMUNICATION SURVEY
ATTENTION POWHATAN BUSINESS OWNERS!
Please take a minute to complete the Survey on
the County Website
As you may be aware, Powhatan County has been awarded a grant to evaluate the broadband/telecommunication needs for businesses.
One step in this project is for Powhatan County to conduct a business survey.
Both the Chamber of Commerce and the Retail Merchants Association
have been asked to distribute the link to their members.
The survey can be accessed on-line and will be available
through September 30, 2009.
Staff will be compiling the information beginning in October.
www.powhatanva.gov
The survey is relatively simple and only takes a few minutes to complete.
The County main home page provides a link to the survey.

Bye Bye Buy and Hold
For the past 39 years in the investment business, Ronald G.Smith, CLU, ChFC
has been a strong believer of the buy and hold philosophy. However, due to thehorrific market in 2008, he has altered his strategy and is now using
a third party money manager.
AlphaSource uses a top-tier institutional management team with over 45 years
of investment experience and is
committed to providing innovative
solutions for advisors and their clients.
Some key aspects to the program include:
-
The Value of Diversification - Investors can diversify in many ways, including portfolios of assets that combine different asset classes, economic sectors and geographic concentrations. For many investors, this has traditionally resulted in portfolios containing a mix of stocks, bonds and cash.
-
A Non-Correlated Portfolio: The Key toTrue Diversification - The key to Modern Portfolio Theory was the revelation that the risk of any investment can be reduced and/or performance increased by forming a portfolio of diverse and non-correlated assets.
-
Non-Traditional Investments and Diversification- How do you find assets that are not correlated with a traditional portfolio of stocks and gonds?
Non-traditional investments, including global real estate, managed futures, commodities and long/short products, are options that many sophisticated institutional investors have been using.
Integrating Broader Range investments into Your Portfolio
How Will Your Portfolio Respond During Times of Market Stress?
Modern Portfolio Theory tells us that holding a well-diversified 'basket' of investments can be one of the best ways for individual investors to reduce risk for a given level of performance.
If you are interested in learning more about AlphaSource, please contact
Ron Smith at (804) 598-9430 or visit www.cmainc2.com
