10 percent to 30 percent set aside for international stocks - in general, 10 percent for the casual investor, with up to 30 percent for those aggressive investors willing to take more risk. |

Chelsea Atkins played solid all day long for her because she was throwing up. She was hitting a shot and throwing up. To be as sick as she was and come to a harder course, she did fine. |

We have a big lead, and we finish up (the Tour) on our home course. Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about where we are right now.
