Conversely, diversification and bundling have been as erroneously and as widely regarded as the ultimate risk neutralizers. His work was published in 1921. Guided by VAR models, a change in volatility allows a bank or a hedge fund to increase or decrease assets with the same risk level and thus exacerbate the overall hazard of a portfolio.

As it is, Area Six is pretty well done in, but the bulkheads held the damage to Six. What happened?" "We don't know, exactly. Both generators on the tractor beam went out. At first, I thought that was all, but my neutralizers are dead and I don't know what else. When the G-4's went out the fusion must have shorted the neutralizers.

Even at the center of the dome, they felt less effect of the neutralized gravity of the interior. It required effort to stand on their feet. Some effect of the neutralizers in the giant pillars, which eliminated most of the weight of the dome, enabled them to handle their bodies.

"Well, be very careful, anyway. Start out slow and take it easy." "Start out slow? We can't! We can't neutralize half of gravity, nor half of the inertia of matter it's got to be everything or nothing, as soon as the neutralizers go on. We could start out on the projectors, of course, instead of on the neutralizers, but that wouldn't prove anything and would only prolong the agony."

Of course, I realize that, fast as we fly, the wireless flies faster. We may have to rely on our neutralizers again " "They're working?" "Imperfectly, yes. They'll still help us, in 'civilized warfare. And as for what will happen at Mecca, if the Faithful are indiscreet enough to offer any resistance " "Got something new, have you?" "I think it may prove something of a novelty, Major.

The blast expired and there, plainly limned upon the observation plates, was the Nevian speedster. "As a computer you're good," Rodebush applauded. "So close that we can't use the neutralizers to catch him. If we use a dyne of driving force we'll overshoot him a million kilometers before I can snap the switches out."

We do condemn the use of drugs insofar as they are poisonous and destructive and insofar as they suppress acute diseases or healing crises, which are Nature's cleansing and healing efforts; but on the other hand we realize that there is a wide field for the helpful application of medicinal remedies insofar as they act as foods to the tissues of the body and as neutralizers and eliminators of waste and morbid materials.

"A couple of seconds before we engaged we were heading toward a sun with at least two planets. I was just getting ready to dodge them when we cut the neutralizers, so they should be fairly close somewhere yes, there's the sun, right over there. Rather pale and small; but it's close, comparatively speaking. We'll go back up into the control room and find out about the planets."

I haven't had a real chance of testing out the neutralizers. Their operation, in actual practice, ought to be interesting." He tried to speak coldly, impersonally; but he well realized a certain strained quality in his voice.
