The Purple shall rule! Gabriel visits Mauritius: "Right from the time I boarded my Air Mauritius flight, to the time I landed, checked in at my hotel, participated in the workshop, went shopping and sight-seeing, the warm hospitality of the Mauritians was unmistakable... The tourism is high class but even for those with a low budget there is something for them... Mauritius has an interesting mix of Africans with European, Asian and local background. These live in peaceful co-existence. In addition, Christians, Moslems and Hindus also enjoy good relations with each other."

The Bottom Line: "We have suggested as a fundamental guiding rule that the investor should never have less than 25% or more than 75% of his funds in common stocks, with a consequent inverse range of between 75% and 25% in bonds. There is an implication here that the standard division should be an equal one, or 50-50, between the 2 major investment mediums. According to tradition, the sound reason for increasing the percentage in common stocks would be the appearance of the 'bargain price'levels created in a protracted bear market. Conversely, sound procedure would call for reducing the common-stock component below 50% when in the judgement of the investor the market level has become dangerously high." Benjamin Graham
