TheLiveBigWay* Digest – Nobel Prize Validation

On October 14, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that it had awarded the Prize in Economic Sciences to Eugene Fama, along with Lars Peter Hansen and Robert J. Shiller “for their empirical analysis of asset prices.”

Fama has been deeply involved with Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), with whom we have a long-standing relationship and which contributes a significant number of funds to our client portfolios. Most of DFA’s portfolios are in one way or another based on or influenced by the research of Professor Fama.

After months of training, Elissa and Dave accomplished their goal of walking 13.1 miles and completing the Healdsburg Half Marathon in Sonoma’s Wine Country on October 20 (Dave ditched the jeans this time around).

Elissa and Dave completed the course in 3:37:08. Together with their close family and friends, they celebrated the achievement by using their complimentary wine glasses to taste the wares of the Russian River Valley wineries represented at the finish line.
