Sun Studio is a recording studio opened by rock pioneer Sam Phillips at 706 Union Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, on January 3, 1950. It was originally called Memphis Recording Service, sharing the same building with the Sun Records label business. Reputedly the first rock-and-roll single, Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats’ ‘Rocket 88′ was recorded there in 1951 with song composer Ike Turner on keyboards, leading the studio to claim status as the birthplace of rock & roll. Blues and R&B artists like Howlin’ Wolf, Junior Parker, Little Milton, B. B. King, James Cotton, Rufus Thomas, and Rosco Gordon recorded there in the early 1950s. Rock-and-roll, country music, and rockabilly artists, including Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Charlie Feathers, Ray Harris, Warren Smith, Charlie Rich, and Jerry Lee Lewis, recorded there throughout the mid to late 1950s until the studio outgrew its Union Avenue location. Sam Phillips opened the larger Sam C. Phillips Recording Studio, better known as Phillips Recording, in 1959 to take the place of the older facility. Since Sam had invested in the Holiday Inn Hotel chain earlier, he also recorded artist starting in 1963 on the label Holiday Inn Records for Kemmons Wilson. In 1957, Bill Justis recorded his Grammy Hall of Fame song ‘Raunchy’ for Sam Phillips and worked as a musical director at Sun Records.

If you want an investment that maintains your principal, Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are a great way to go.
The best feature of a certificate of deposit is lack of market risk because the rate is guaranteed for the life of the deposit and you don’t have to lose sleep over night thinking you’re going to lose 50% over a few months.
Certificates of deposits (CD) are short to medium-term debt instruments Issued generally by commercial banks and other financial institutions to investors
Investors will lend money to the institutions for a certain amount of time in which investors cannot withdraw the amount. In exchange, the banks will pay a predetermined rate of interest to the investors called Certificate Of Deposit Rate (CD Rate).
Buying a CD during the times when interest rates are at their highest can give an investor higher returns. Given this, investors who’re planning to cash in on CDs would do well to research on the history and the trends of CD rates, as this can help them plan on when would be the best time to get in on the action
01. Doing the research
With the Internet and technology today, it’s so easy to find the best rate. Start using services online where you can find the best rates.
Never ever just sign up for the first CD rate you see because you’re just asking for trouble. Your typical brick and mortar stores usually have the worst rates. This is why I would recommend you bank online.

http://www.reit.com To reach retirement income goals especially in an anticipated lower return, higher volatility environment, defined contribution (DC) plan participants need a more conservative, diversified and risk-managed approach to investing–fortunately this is attainable especially through professionally managed target-date strategies.
Stacy Schaus, senior vice president and defined contribution practice leader for PIMCO, spoke with REIT.com recently about the DC market, the role REITs should play in the plans, and advice for plan sponsors. She also discussed the paper she recently co-authored, “Designing Outcome-Oriented Defined Contribution Plans: Maximizing Absolute and Risk-Adjusted Returns for a New Normal Economy.”
Schaus said there are three areas plan sponsors should focus on to improve retirement success for their DC participants: help participants increase savings rates; offer professional asset allocation; and improve risk management.
“The first step is to get them into the plans,” Schaus said. “Auto enrollment programs have helped increase participation rates. Defaulting in at the match level, which is typically 6 percent, will make a significant difference. Then get them saving more, which can be done by pumping up their savings rate via auto escalation at a 2 percent rather than 1 percent clip.”
Schaus said that plan sponsors should offer professionally managed asset allocation, for instance target-date strategies. She said these strategies allow professionals to determine the asset classes, asset mix, and how to change it over time.
“Whether packaged funds or open architecture, these strategies tap into the expertise of plan sponsors, consultants or other investment experts to deliver better outcomes than participants may achieve on their own,” Schaus said. “What’s important is the professional oversight opens the door to more institutional or ‘DB-like’ investing, allowing inclusion of important diversifying asset classes such as TIPS, commodities and real estate.”
Risk management is also critical to improving outcomes for participants, Schaus said.
“By placing the asset allocation and management in the hands of professionals, the door is open to evaluate and manage risk with more advanced techniques and skill. This includes introducing more assets that are likely to add important diversification to reduce overall risk, implementation of tactical asset allocation to enhance returns, as well as introducing strategies to cushion participant assets in the event of a market shock,” Schaus said.
PIMCO is a believer in a real assets strategy, which includes healthy allocations to asset classes such as commodities, TIPS and REITs because most workers in the U.S. will depend on their DC plan to provide the primary source of retirement income beyond social security.
“We know that perhaps the most significant risk retirees face is the erosion of purchasing power of their hard-earned dollars,” she said. “To address this risk, we want to make sure that worker’s DC savings keep pace with inflation as they approach retirement and more importantly as they begin drawing down these assets during their retirement years.”
With this objective in mind, Schaus said PIMCO seeks assets that are most likely to keep pace with inflation. “TIPS provide some inflation protection over time, with low volatility and low credit risk. Commodities, while more risky, provide exposure to food and energy, which are the most volatile components of inflation,” she said. “And real estate provides some diversification as well as some protection from longer term inflation.”
PIMCO’s recommended target-date fund glidepaths feature allocations of up to 15 percent to REITs.
“During accumulation, while a participant is still working, real estate can provide some diversification as well as longer-term inflation protection,” Schaus said. “Also, the liquidity of REITs is a great way for a DC plan to get its real estate exposure.”

The major U.S. equity indices are trading mixed Friday afternoon, despite a global boost to markets from positive Chinese manufacturing data. Economic reports showed that personal income and spending rose above economist expectations in August. Incomes climbed at their fastest rate in eight months. The savings rate, however, also received a boost, pointing to a potential slow down in spending in the near future. Consumer sentiment was not as strong as in August, but managed to come in above expectations. In corporate news, Susquehanna downgraded Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) from Neutral to Sell, with a $120 price target. Shares of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) fell over 1.5% in early trading after McAdams Wright Ragen analyst Dan Geiman downgraded the online retailer to Hold. Geiman said: “We’re still quite favorable on the company’s prospects in the coming quarters, despite near-term headwinds related to marketing-related expenses supporting Kindle and ongoing investments to increase the company’s fulfillment capacity, as well as more difficult sales and margin comparisons.” The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) is trading 0.25% higher at 10,815.07, the S&P500 (INDEXSP:.INX) is trading 0.19% higher at 1,143.37, and the Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) is trading 0.13% lower at 2,365.56
