Stock picks of the rich | Bankrate.com

You might think that the wealthy invest their money in expensive hedge funds or individual stocks. But increasingly, they favor keeping it simple in ways that average investors can replicate.

The founder and chairman of Tiger 21, an investing club made up of 202 individuals with at least $10 million to invest, told Bloomberg that members are favoring exchange-traded index funds over?private equity?or hedge funds.

In its annual survey of members, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust rose to the No. 2 stock pick. Overall, ETFs were more popular than equity hedge funds and mutual funds, with 23 percent of members preferring them for equity investments. Last year, 19 percent of the members preferred ETFs.

Individual stocks are still the No. 1 pick among members for the equity portion of their portfolio, but that method of investing fell by 7 percent, to 43 percent since 2011, while hedge fund investing dropped from 27 percent to 21 percent. Mutual funds are favored by 13 percent of the investors.

The typical portfolio for members includes 23 percent real estate, 22 percent equity, 15 percent private equity, 13 percent fixed income, 13 percent cash, 10 percent hedge funds and 1 percent commodities.

The move toward ETFs, which trade like stocks, and index funds is a sign that members see the market stabilizing and returning to normal, Michael Sonnenfeldt, founder of Tiger 21, told Bloomberg. "Members have crept, crawled and walked back to the kinds of investment portfolios they had before 2008," he said.

Do you believe the market is stabilizing, and have you adjusted your portfolio accordingly?

PlayMakers Rep's Premiere of David Ball's Zany New Adaptation of ...

The cast of ?The Imaginary Invalid? includes Kathryn Hunter-Williams (left) as Klytemnestra, Steven Epp as Argon, Molly Ward as Toinette (photo by Jon Gardiner)

The instant Steven Epp as Moli?re steps out on the stage of the Paul Green Theatre to introduce the PlayMakers Repertory Company?s brand-new adaptation of the celebrated 17th century French actor and playwright?s 339-year-old play, The Imaginary Invalid, to a 21st century audience in Chapel Hill, it is clear that this is no average resurrection of a classic. Instead, Moli?re becomes a character in his own play; and the present is woven into the production ? often hilariously and often erratically, but always with an eye on the original story.

The story about Argon (also played by Steven Epp), a wealthy hypochondriac convinced he has every disease known to man (especially those that originate from bowel problems), is rife with sight gags and pratfalls and totally insane characters (spoiler: there?s not a normal one in the bunch). From the moment Argon receives his first shot of antiseptic spray from his nurse (Julie Fishell), it is clear that writer David Ball, who created this adaptation especially for PlayMakers, and director Dominique Serrand have a bona fide hit on their hands, a hilarious and fast-paced retelling of the comedy that was Moli?re?s last play ? and, ultimately, the one that killed him, because Moli?re died onstage while playing Argon on Feb. 7, 1673. Though there?s nothing funny about the French master of comedy dying onstage, there very definitely is something funny happening on the PlayMakers stage with this adaptation.

The play opens with Argon introducing his various maladies while his nurse (Julie Fishell) tells him what his bills are for the various tests. It is fairly certain that most people in the audience could relate to the shock Argon feels at the cost for invasive tests that ultimately tell him nothing about what is really wrong with him ? or how his quack of a doctor, Dr. Wachauvia (played by Jeffrey Blair Cornell), will cure each of the various ills. When Argon has had enough of the bills, he calls (and calls and yells) for his assistant Toinette, played by Molly Ward, and thus begins a constant parade of people in Argon?s life who clearly see through his hypochondria and use it to try to bilk him of his wealth.

?The Imaginary Invalid? cast includes (from left) Jeffrey Blair Cornell as Dr. Wachauvia, Julie Fishell as a Nurse, Steven Epp as Argon, and Nathan Keepers as Dr. St. Judas (photo by Jon Gardiner)

One of those people who couldn?t care less about Argon?s money ? and is just as crazy as he is ? bounces onstage and throughout the play with a delightful zaniness. She is Argon?s daughter Little Angel, played with a zest and wide-eyed craziness by Katie Paxton. Paxton contorts into positions that put a pretzel to shame, and is so adept with facial expressions that it is a disappointment when she turns toward the other side of the stage and her fantastic elasticity cannot be seen.

Katie Paxton?s ability to play the angelic brat with a puppeteer?s deftness and a personality that mimics the monstrous horror of a Chucky doll brings histrionics to the first act that only escalate as the bizarre characters continue to do their pirouettes onstage. Little Angel?s love for Irving Luigi (played by Shakespeare veteran Josh Tobin) is what drives her, and that love (as most loves) is what makes her crazier than she already is. When Luigi finally arrives onstage, the combination of the two of them makes for hilarity personified.

Argon?s psychosomatic illnesses lend themselves well to jokes that most grade school children find irresistible: fart jokes, breast and sex jokes, pratfalls, and goofy characterizations. They also elicited plenty of laughs from the opening night/world premiere audience, though the loudest guffaws came from a totally unscripted comment made by Argon when a pre-teen made for the bathroom about midway through the first act.

?Where do you think you?re going?? Epp called out, never missing a beat and remaining in character as Argon. Everyone in the audience dissolved in laughter, though the boy didn?t seem to notice; and the play continued without interruption.

Moli?re?s ability to use satire to expose religious hypocrisy translates well to this period in time when most Americans are concentrating on the presidential elections; and David Ball?s new adaptation of The Imaginary Invalid works hard to expose one of the central issues in the current campaign for president: the obsession with the state of health care in the United States. From the moment Argon takes to his bed, nightgown flapping, it is ironically clear that the ?lesser? health-care workers (the nurse and the Bucket Boy, aptly portrayed by Nilan Johnson) are the wisest of the bunch.

The doctors are fools who work for Argon only because of his incredible wealth. They have no idea what is wrong with him, if anything, and simply play along with his imaginary ailments (one of which appears to be easily fixed, according to the nurse. Simply ?wash the dingus,? she says, over and over). Without revealing the ending of this farce, suffice it to say that it is a joke recognizable to all and, ironically, mirrors Moli?re?s own tragic end.

Galaxy hurt Sounders' playoff position

By GREG BEACHAM

AP Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 11:38 p.m. ET Oct. 28, 2012

CARSON, Calif. (AP) - David Beckham thinks the Los Angeles Galaxy put themselves in a solid position to defend their MLS title with a win in their regular-season finale.

Hurting the Seattle Sounders' playoff plans was just a small bonus.

Mike Magee scored on a pass from Robbie Keane in the 83rd minute, and the Galaxy kept the Sounders in third place in the Western Conference with a 1-0 victory Sunday night.

Josh Saunders earned his ninth shutout for the champs, who head into the postseason as the West's fourth seed after four largely outstanding months of play. A poor start to the season left the star-studded Galaxy playing catch-up in the West, but they might be gaining fast.

"We've put ourselves in a good position," said Beckham, who played 62 minutes in his first match in three weeks. "It was important to get a good result tonight, get a few minutes, and now the big one is Thursday."

The Galaxy already knew they'll host the fifth-seeded Vancouver Whitecaps on Thursday night in a one-game knockout playoff. Los Angeles still played to win, putting Beckham and Landon Donovan in the starting lineup after lengthy injury absences.

"We wanted to get some rhythm and some continuity heading into the playoffs," said Donovan, who played the entire game.

The loss was a missed opportunity for Seattle, which remained stuck in third in the West with 56 points, allowing Real Salt Lake to finish second with 57.

A win or tie would have put the Sounders into the second playoff slot, but now Salt Lake will host the second game of their two-game conference semifinal, the more advantageous position in the home-and-home series. The third-place finish also might have CONCACAF Champions League ramifications for the Sounders down the road.

"I think we're ready for the playoffs," Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said. "Tonight is going to be a good motivator. When you get slapped at the end of the season, it reminds you how it feels, and how you don't want that feeling again."

The loss became doubly painful for the Sounders after forward Eddie Johnson left late in the first half with an apparent hamstring injury. Johnson, who leads Seattle with 14 goals, will have an MRI on Monday.

"I made a couple of long runs earlier in the game, and my hammy kind of tightened up on me," Johnson said. "I felt a big cramp in my hamstring, and I know what that feels like. There's definitely something there."

After a lively game featuring numerous near-misses by both offenses, Magee scored from just outside the penalty area when the Sounders left him unmarked. Magee easily converted a pass from Keane, who capped his standout second half of the season with several near-goals and the decisive assist.

"Momentum-wise, it's huge," Magee said. "You always see the teams that are doing well at the end of the season doing well in the playoffs. You always want to do well against a team, we hope we're going to be seeing in the playoffs in a couple of weeks."

Magee's goal was just the 15th allowed in 21 games by Michael Gspurning, the Sounders' Austrian goalie. Seattle allowed just 33 goals this season, fewest in the West.

Brad Evans appeared to score a tying goal in the final seconds of injury time, but teammate Fredy Montero was called for a handball an instant earlier while down in front of the net.

Los Angeles avoided a three-game season series sweep by the Sounders, who haven't beaten the Galaxy at Home Depot Center since 2009.

Donovan missed the Galaxy's last MLS match with a bone bruise on his left knee, and Beckham also sat out to rest his sore left ankle. Neither star had played in a match since Oct. 6.

Beckham and Keane missed scoring strikes by a few inches in the first half, both curling shots just outside the post. Keane nearly scored on a leaping volley off a sharp cross from Donovan in the 41st minute.

Keane barely missed the net again in the 46th, chipping a shot just wide over Gspurning. He put another beautiful shot just off the crossbar in the 53rd minute, freezing Gspurning as he watched the high-arcing ball go over his head.

Lakers forward Pau Gasol, comedian Russell Brand, chef Gordon Ramsay and Victoria Beckham attended the game.
