Fantasy football has been around for a long time now. I've been playing with friends since 2004, but there are leagues that go back even longer. If you've never played, it's basically a way for you to try your luck as an NFL general manager and to build your own team of players. There is a draft where each team picks players in order to fill out a roster. Each week you put your best players in the starting lineup and you earn points based on how those players perform in their actual game that week.
It's amazing what a difference a year can make. In our 2017 year-end market commentary we reflected on a year with positive returns and very low volatility across nearly every investment class. Now we look back on 2018, which saw negative returns in just about every asset class along with a significant increase in volatility.
December is always a busy time of year for us, even when we aren't anticipating a major tax reform bill like last year. We are working through a number of year-end planning items for our clients from tax projections to tax loss harvesting to required minimum distributions. As I work through these things for our clients I had a number of thoughts come to mind that I wanted to share.
The end of the year presents a unique opportunity to look at your overall personal financial situation. With factors like tax reform, life changes or just working towards your goals, now is an especially important time to review things. Taking what we now know about the new tax law and weaving together all of the other areas of your personal finances is one of the key ways we provide value to you as your trusted adviser. Below are some things we'd like to help you think through before the year ends.

Gemstones: Birth from the inside of the earth
The history of their formation goes back up to 4.5 billion years – Fascination minerals and crystals from the bowels of the earth. How did gemstones become such an important part of our jewelry collection?
From the ring on your finger to the brooch on your grandmother's favorite coat – gemstones seem to be everywhere. Their shimmer draws the eye to a passing wrist, a necklace on a graceful neck, floating earrings to complement a ball gown, and their many stories of times past draw us to museums around the world. Precious stones are considered the epitome of wealth, power and beauty: from diamonds to rubies, emeralds, sapphires and pearls to amber. Enthusiasm from colorless to colored jewels because of their aesthetics, uniqueness, beauty and workmanship, set in precious metals know no boundaries of time, space, personality and occasion of their journey to the appropriate jewelry box. How are the different gemstones formed, what is part of their history of creation until they become famous with special properties?
Humbert and Son – Purveyor to the Court of Kaiser Wilhelm
Together with Torsten Humbert, precious metals expert from Berlin, we take a look at all these questions. Since 1990 Torsten Humbert is successfully active in the market in the trade for precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium in the purchase & sale of valuable jewelry with his Berlin company Deutsche Schatzkasse GmbH. That Torsten Humbert in the world of the noble metals and stones is at home, comes not by chance, he reveals in the discussion. The jeweler line of the Humbert family goes back to the ancestor Jean Pierre Humbert, born in Berlin in 1725. The 1st Humbert family of goldsmiths opened a jewelry store in 1765 in the house Schloßfreiheit 2 in Berlin and this jewelry store is considered the starting point of the famous companies "Humbert & Sohn" and "Humbert & Heylandt". "The Berlin goldsmiths and jewelers family Humbert & Sohn gained fame through the production of numerous pieces and in particular as a supplier to the court with the production of the crown for Emperor Wilhelm II, which today is kept in the treasury of Hohenzollern Castle near Hechingen (Baden-Württemberg)," recounts Torsten Humbert.
Tears of the gods to fiery red
Gemstones have been mined for centuries, all over the world. Almost every culture used gemstones as jewelry or as a sign of various powers. Researchers prove that the first gemstone finds were made in the Middle East, China and Africa. Torsten Humbert points out that jade was discovered in China as early as 3600 BC, and gemstones were synonymous with wealth and power more than five millennia ago. Historically, the history of gemstones includes ancient Egypt and its connection to the pharaohs. From elaborately decorated masks to intricate pieces of jewelry, such as the death mask of Tutankhamun or the golden breast plate with a striking yellow-green shimmering scarab, still pose mysteries today, explains Torsten Humbert. Jewelry has a long tradition in both ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. Finds prove that rings, necklaces and pendants were characterized in particular by the carefully crafted work. The most popular gemstones in Greek jewelry making were amethysts, pearls, chalcedony, corneol, garnet and emeralds. The Roman Pliny (23-79 AD) called garnet carbunculus (small coal), this term was used for the fiery red gemstones such as ruby, spinel and garnet. "The rarity and beauty of gemstones witnessed power and reached a very great cultural value. To this day, monarchies around the world have extensive collections of priceless jewelry with unique gemstones," Humbert says.

Rituals with gemstones worldwide
More recently, gemstones have also become associated with certain rituals. From healing stones to birthstones. "The origin of birthstones goes back to the breastplate of Aaron, the high priest of the Israelites (1396 B.C. – 1273 B.C.). Today's selection of one stone for each month of the year comes from the Jewelers of America in 1912, who established the assignment," explains precious metals expert Torsten Humbert. Through knowledge and dissemination, more and more people gained access to gemstones as healing and decorative stones. In the Middle Ages, Hildegard von Bingen (1098 to 1179) gave great impetus, she used the stones in therapeutic applications, as did the city physician Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, called Paracelsus from Basel (1493 to 1541).
Treasures of the Earth: Shine and Fascinate
Gemstones are minerals like numerous types of rocks. But diamonds, sapphire, emerald and ruby stand out for their composition, hardness and symmetrical internal structure. Diamond is probably the most famous, expensive and hardest gemstone on the market. Diamonds were formed over millions of years under enormous pressure. To form a diamond, certain temperatures and pressures must be reached inside the earth. "Diamonds represent imperishability, wealth and power through their perfection and beauty. Their brilliance, purity and rarity continue to fascinate today," Humbert says. Rubies are often a deep, enchanting burgundy and are also created by heat and pressure. Their beautiful color is the result of minerals taking the place of aluminum atoms in the rock, with chromium giving rubies their characteristic red glow, Humbert adds.
"Similar to rubies, the presence of aquamarine or green in emeralds is the result of minerals such as vanadium. The impurity of beryl gives emeralds their famous color," says Humbert, explaining that all naturally colored gemstones is the result of unusual chemical changes that alter the nature of a stone. This is how sapphires get their blue, jade their green, and opals their gorgeous multicolor. The value of a gemstone is based on numerous criteria such as its clarity, color, hardness, size and availability. Gemstones in wearable jewelry shows the fascinating beauty from the womb of Mother Nature.

STUNNER: Kennedy Speechwriter Now Backing Donald Trump
There have been some major defections from the Democratic Party during this election and it's all because of Trump's wide appeal. This is a special case, however. The Kennedys are the royal family to Democrats, so to have someone who worked directly for RFK backing Trump has to hurt.
Adam Walinski was RFK's speechwriter and he's on the Trump Train.
Politico has the story:
I Was RFK's Speechwriter. Now I'm Voting for Trump. Here's Why.
I was a Democrat all my life. I came to Washington to serve President John Kennedy and Attorney General Robert Kennedy. When the president was murdered and his brother struck off on his own, I joined his Senate campaign and staff as his legislative assistant and speechwriter, until his presidential campaign ended with his own assassination. I ran on a (losing) Democratic ticket in the New York state elections of 1970. When I was working to enact my own program of police reform in the 1980s and 1990s, then-Governor Bill Clinton was chairman of my National Committee for the Police Corps.
This year, I will vote to elect Donald Trump as president of the United States.
So profound a change, and a decent respect for old friendships, requires me to deliver a public accounting for this decision.
Here it is. John and Robert Kennedy devoted their greatest commitments and energies to the prevention of war and the preservation of peace. To them that was not an abstract formula but the necessary foundation of human life. But today's Democrats have become the Party of War: a home for arms merchants, mercenaries, academic war planners, lobbyists for every foreign intervention, promoters of color revolutions, failed generals, exploiters of the natural resources of corrupt governments. We have American military bases in 80 countries, and there are now American military personnel on the ground in about 130 countries, a remarkable achievement since there are only 192 recognized countries. Generals and admirals announce our national policies. Theater commanders are our principal ambassadors. Our first answer to trouble or opposition of any kind seems always to be a military movement or action.
Nor has the Democratic Party candidate for president this year, Hillary Clinton, sought peace. Instead she has pushed America into successive invasions, successive efforts at "regime change."
Read the rest here.
That is nothing short of amazing.
Share it with your liberal friends to watch their heads explode.

13-year-old caught by mum raping another boy, hands him over to police

Woman catches her son performing sex act on crying 14-year boy, he admits raping girl, 11, in alley as well.
At a youth court in Poole, a judge heard how the boy's mother reported her own son to police after she caught him in the act with the schoolboy. (Representational image)
In a shocking case, a boy pleaded guilty to one charge against a 14-year-old boy, and three charges against a 11-year-old girl after he was caught performing a sex act on the crying boy.
All the offences took place in Dorset.
At a youth court in Poole, a judge heard how the boy's mother reported her own son to police after she caught him in the act with the schoolboy.
An 11-year-old girl later told her mum that the boy had raped her at his home and two more times in an alley near the property, according to Bournemouth Echo reports.
The court heard that the boy was friends with his two victims. None of those involved in the case can be named for legal reasons.
The raped boy's mum, in a victim impact statement read to the court, said that since the incident the victim boy's behaviour has changed drastically at home and at school. He had been running up and down the stairs screaming in the night and is having counselling at school for anger and emotions.
The 11-year-old girl's mum said in her statement that the girl became very violent and angry which is something that she was not before.
District Judge Stephen Nicholls told the boy after his guilty pleas: "If you had been an adult and pleaded guilty to those matters the sentence would have been measured in many years of imprisonment."
The boy was given a 12-month referral order to a Youth Offending Team.
