What, you're confused? I understand. Most of us are total novices. Unfortunate- ly, what do we do? We let others make our decisions for us, thinking they are so much smarter because they are "professionals" or TV commenta- tors. when the market falls. 2. They play important games without understand- ing the rules. Kids know that you can't win if you don't know the rules. Same goes Recently, I was drawn to a book that was simple to read, easy to understand and quite charming. In "How a Second Grader Beats Wall Street: Golden Rules Any Investor Can Learn" by Allan S. Roth, we follow the story of Kevin Roth, the author's 8-year-old son, and discover exactly how simple it can be to become a successful investor. By second grade, Roth con- tends, we've learned simple and truthful lessons about the world around us. As life goes along, however, what we continue to learn is less about making us smarter and more about making us outsmart ourselves. By adulthood, we're feeling that serious things -- like money - - are too important to deal with simply. And that's when things take a turn. Here are the dumb things Roth says that many adults do with their money: 1. They love to buy high and sell low. They buy after the mar- ket is up, panic and then sell for investing in something no one can understand. 3. They believe any- thing they want to believe. People gave Bernie Madoff $50 bil- lion without knowing what he was doing with the money. 4. They pass over the 8. They follow the herd. Like heat-seeking missiles, they go after whatever has been hot. 9. They watch too much finan- cial TV. Conventional wisdom tells us that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but so is too much information. Believing that the gurus on TV have a good track record and are giving good advice, is foolish. low-hanging fruit in favor of the fruit that is way out of reach, if it is reachable at all. They miss the easy stuff that will make them money, no matter what the market does. 5. They think strangers want to help them. We teach our kids about stranger danger, then hand over our nest egg to strangers who claim they know best. They constantly complain about taxes, but pay more than they need to. Why do adults go out of their way to pay more? 7. They lend money to people who they know can't pay it back. They sell the loans to other adults, and think they are going to get their money back.

Because heat-related deaths are pre- ventable, people need to be aware of who is at greatest risk and what actions can be taken to prevent a heat-related illness or death. The elderly, the very young, and people with existing health conditions or chronic diseases are at highest risk. What is Heat Exhaustion?
