Exhibit 3Why We are Not Likely to Experience Another 2008 Type Decline?

1. Banking system has gone from insolvency to strong capital ratios.

2. No weak/opaque shadow banking system to contend with.

3. The financial condition of Corporate America is excellent.

4. Profit and revenue growth are still good as is growth in dividends and share buybacks.

5. Business inventories are in excellent shape. There is no bubble in housing as in 2008 and

most cyclical sectors of the economy are at a very low percentage of GDP.

6. Household debt/GDP, while still high, has dropped from 95.4% to 85.1%. Debt service

ratio substantially improved.

7. The consumer savings rate has gone from 1% to 5.0%.

8. Lower dollar should be a plus for exports.

9. Oil price decline from $115 to $77 WTI ($130 to $102 Brent) per barrel positive for

consumers and economy generally.

10. FED policy of zero interest rates will ultimately work.

11. Tame wages and decent productivity.

12. Decent M&A activity and large pool of private equity capital.

13. Investors are conservatively postured.

14. Market valuation very appealing – both absolute and particularly relative to alternatives

(financial repression).

Exhibit 4

Euro Zone Will Be Okay ?

We have been very disappointed in the tardiness and substance of policies offered by the euro-

zone governments and the ECB to address the European sovereign-debt issue. This tardiness

and lack of substance has taken its toll on risk assets. Nonetheless, we do believe that

governments and the central bank in Europe, for now, will address the sovereign-debt issue.

•EFSF permitted to buy weak peripheral debt in the primary and secondary markets

• EFSF permitted to extend loans to shore up bank balance sheets

• EFSF/IMF likely to fund Greece through mid-2014

• ECB purchasing Italian and Spanish debt

• ECB providing unlimited liquidity to banks

• ECB moderating its tight money policy

•ECB purchasing covered bonds from banks, aiding bank funding

• Asian governments likely to support euro-zone sovereign debt

• EFSF lending capacity lifted to 440 billion and likely to increase further

•Euro-zone bank re-capitalizations coming

•Increased dollar swap funding available to euro-zone banks

Note: EFSF – European Financial Stability Fund

Exhibit 25Risks to Our Equity Market Outlook

• The opportunity for a self-sustaining economic expansion is threatened by weak employment

growth and/or the feedback to the economy from lower equity prices/euro-zone sovereign-debt

issues. The result is the possibility of recession

• The core euro-zone governments, IMF, and ECB fail to contain the sovereign-debt issue and

instigate further sustained contagion to Italy and Spain, in turn causing a global recession and

weaker than expected corporate profits

• A dent to global growth if there is a hard landing in China’s economy

• Home prices enter another phase of accelerating decline, denting consumer confidence and

spending

• Middle East turmoil intensifies and energy prices spike, constraining real income and spending

• Budget deficit issues in the U. S. and the unwillingness of Washington to fully address the deficit

constrain U.S. growth

• The uncertain effects in the U.S. surrounding consumer and financial-sector deleveraging and the

collision of this deleveraging with public-sector balance-sheet leveraging

• The uncertain economic and capital-market effects of heightened global regulation on financial

markets

• A continuing significant reliance of the U.S. on foreign capital, particularly Chinese capital at a

time when there are differences in currency policy between the U.S. and China

• Capital controls imposed by emerging economies to stem the rise in their currencies and protect

against asset bubbles

• A still not friendly Administration, re the corporate sector

Exhibit 26Presidential Platform

1. Get out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Provide every returning soldier with a free four

year college education or trade school of their choice.

2. Set up a peace time WPA effort to channel a portion of the saving into rebuilding

US infrastructure.

3. Unleash the domestic energy industry to develop domestic energy supplies and

reserves. This will create employment and reduce our dependency on foreign

suppliers.

4. Government spending should be limited to a growth rate at least 1% below the

level of nominal GDP growth.

5. Freeze entitlements and raise the social security retirement age to 70 with an

exception of those that work at hard labor.

6. 10% income tax surcharge for three years on those that earn over $500,000 per

year.

7. 5% VAT tax to get at the underground economy and deal with the deficit.

8. Tackle health care in a serious way.

9. Reinstate the “Up-Tick” rule for short sales, ban or curtail High Frequency

trading and limit CDS trading to those that own the underlying bonds. The high

frequency traders are turning the best capital market in the world into a casino

and scaring the public. This is not in the public interest.

The Investment Environment

Economic Outlook: • Slow growth owing to economy wide deleveraging .

• Tame inflation owing to substantial output and labor excess capacity .

• Sub -par employment growth owing to regulation/slow growth in final demand.

• Slow profit g rowth owing to elevated profit margins and slow nominal GDP growth .

• Economic expansions average in duration and below average in magnitude.

• Changing composition of GDP with consumption declining as a percentage of output and capital spending, residential i nvestment, and exports increasing as a share of output.
