then we have what we call our pure alpha strategy. there is a separation between alpha and beta.stors make the mistake of separating those two and think they will make money in the market. in this zero-sum game, they will probably lose money from making those bets. the strategic asset allocation mix, the all-weather beta piece, and then there is the alpha. in other words, now i think it is a good time to move this way or that way. that is the alpha strategy. david: it is too late for friends and family to get into your fund? there is no opening? you are not going to open anytime soon? ray: no. david: ok. an important part of your life has been transcendental meditation. you do this twice a day. when did you start and why's it so important to you? ray: i started in 1969 because the beatles did it. [laughter] i learned about it. it is a very important thing. i would say it is the greatest gift i think i can give anyone. it gives a combination of equanimity, a calmness. no the matter what is coming at you, you can approach it with that sort of calmness. it gives someone creativity b

they are trying to generate alpha from all those ideas. vonnie: can you give us a few names or guidelines? >> well, i cannot give you particular names but i would say in particular sectors -- right now fundamentals are probably driving more technology, health care, where fundamentals are driving the price action. crisisro impact of this is definitely causing a lot of volatility in cyclical areas like the industrial space, energy spaces. depending on the sector that the portfolio managers are focused in, fundamentals might not be driving the price action. vonnie: there is comparison to previous eras. 2008u see comparisons to for the hedge fund space? >> in general, i think hedge funds have done a good job. for us, a lot of investors have reached out to us given our experience there many market dislocations and people want to hear how we navigated so well the volatility in 2008. 2008 was a completely different ock and it played out many years. this has been just much faster and i think hedge funds did not capture the downside similar to what

a new alpha pair came and took over and kicked out the old alpha pair. >> but the new alphas will rulean increasingly crowded landscape. the winding trails and idle golf course have become a go-to refuge for neighbors, and more importantly their dogs. for the next few weeks or months, that's potential trouble. >> this is the core of the presidio. >> ecologist jonathan young monitors an area that is the traditional pupping ground for the coyote who give birth in their hidden dens. >> if there is a dog present, coyotes are aware of that. and coyotes have a protective parental instinct to get those dogs away from the den. >> so now young and his team are placing warning signs at the entrances of several popular interior trails, letting visitors know they're off limits to dogs starting monday. all in an effort toconfrontatio have happened in the past in places like the presidio and golden gate park. >> if you avoid these areas that are clearly labeled with signage, the chance of conflict between a dog and a coyote are going to be significantly ul to point out the marked trails are still op

want even the alpha challenge. johnny is not that optimistic about the situation disabled people face at jeremy universities when given some. sometimes i get the feeling that for sports universities the most important thing is the performance of the athletes and the way you are perceived there relates to the amount of medals you win and that's why i have the feeling a wheelchair doesn't fit into the image of a sports university. when confronted with johnny's views the head of the university's disability office has a different opinion. but i want to say you know i deeply regret and strongly disagree with this statement of no one from my perspective it was never important if someone brings back a medal or not. if we take a look at the 20 to 30 students at our university with challenging disabilities i don't think any of them will say i'm only welcome here because i might win a medal some day. i think they'll say we are allowed to study here like everyone else and we're judged by the same criteria we are being treated

it would be worth it also to find an allocation in alpha. this is just a third tool in our toolkit. >> go ahead. >> so i would say, like all investment tools, some have flaws, some do not, but it's how you deploy them and how you use the tool that you have, and how the investment professionals plan to put the strategy in place. i would prefer to continue to study this as a third investment to build this team, to continue to do the research and see additional information on it. again, i've seen issues with wisconsin and others. and again, it depends on the investment professionals and how they deploy the strategy for the asset allocation and how to use it, so i would be a proponent of seeing additional research on the model. >> i share some of the concerns that brian had mentioned. i would say if you were to ask if it was my favorite tool, i would say no. it does create some concern whether our system would weather the storm and continue on the path if we were to have several bad patches, so it does make me concerned. i'm willing to be educat
