what will happen in 2012, you may be better off following these triedand-true investment strategies: Diversify your holdings. By spreading your money among a wide range of investments, you can reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee profits or protect against loss. Don’t ignore your risk tolerance. If you worry excessively about market fluctuations, you may have too much risk in your portfolio, which means you may need to make some changes. Always look at the “big picture.” Financial markets will always fluctuate. But if you can keep your focus on your long-term objectives, and make decisions accordingly, you can avoid overreacting to short-term events. Like other years, 2012 will bring with it periods of both turbulence and smooth sailing. But by making the right investment moves, you can still chart a course that can allow you to move ever closer to your future goals.

Defendants, file an answer in the Chancery Court of Tipton County, at Covington, Tennessee, on or before Monday, February 20, 2012, or Judgement by Default may be entered nd the cause set for hearing ex parte. It is further ordered that this notice be published for four consecutive weeks in The Covington Leader, a newspaper published in Covington,
Tennessee.
