By Steve Hilton | Fox News
I've seen some who oppose this Trump impeachment inquiry airily dismiss it – "Yeah, the president may have behaved badly on that call with Ukraine, but it's not impeachable. Let's wait till the election to hash it all out."
OK, except that's not how this is going to go down. It looks like this will end up with a trial in the Senate, and as we move towards that I want anyone who watches "The Next Revolution" to be well-informed about the details, about the actual evidence. Not the talking points, the evidence.
We had a lot of new evidence last week, and I want to take you through it.
Here's what hasn't changed. Last week we had new confirmation — from an old friend — of the real motivation for all this. Hillary Clinton repeatedly said this in various interviews: "He knows he's an illegitimate president."
They've been wanting to get President Trump since 2016. They want to remove this democratically-elected president by non-democratic means, regardless of the evidence. It was so helpful of Hillary to confirm that last week. And so much for their pious lectures on democracy and the rule of law.
Last Sunday we went through the impeachment charges: Inviting foreign meddling and a quid pro quo of military aid. The foreign meddling claim is a joke. It happens every day in Washington through foreign government lobbying. The Democrats are up to their necks in foreign meddling.
Nancy Pelosi took money from Ukraine lobbyists. Chuck Schumer took money from Saudi Arabia and Mexico. These sanctimonious charlatans on their high horse over foreign interference in our democracy have no problem with it when it's donations to their campaigns and jobs for their relatives and when it's asking Ukraine for dirt on Trump, as Democratic senators did last year. And, of course, when it's funding a dossier to bring Trump down.
In any case, elected leaders always wear their government hats and that of a politician. The idea that Donald Trump committed an abuse of power by bringing politics into a foreign relationship is a joke. They all do it. Trump is just more open about it.
I saw it myself with President Obama and David Cameron. And when the Bush campaign asked British conservatives for dirt on Bill Clinton.
Today, the impeachment fanatics recite the mantra "dirt on a political rival." But with Ukraine and Joe Biden, it's not just any rival. And it's not just any dirt.
If President Trump was asking the Ukrainians to look for whether — I don't know, Andrew Yang — owes back pay to some Ukrainian computer scientist who worked on one of his startups, that would be different. But the charge here is that a former vice president and his family acted corruptly in another country while in office. Of course, that should be investigated. And there's nothing wrong with asking that country to help.
The reason the Democrats and the ruling class are so up in arms about it is that it's exposing a central feature of their swampy business model.
What's not OK is using government policy and taxpayer dollars to push for an investigation if the motivation is purely political. The only really serious charge here is that President Trump did that by withholding military aid to Ukraine unless they promised to investigate Biden and that he did it for purely political ends.
Last week, I told you there were three reasons to reject that argument:
1. Trump is a well-known aid skeptic
2. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, backed up the president's account
3. According to the New York Times, the Ukrainians didn't know the aid was held up until a month after that now-famous phone call. How can there be a quid pro quo when one side didn't know about the quo, I said.
Well, we've learned more about it last week from senior diplomats' text messages.
It turns out that the aid hold-up was seen by some U.S. officials as part of a purely political quid pro quo.
A text from Bill Taylor, the acting ambassador to Ukraine, said the following via text: "As I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign." The Democrats think that's their smoking gun.
The Democrats' obsession with scandal is out of touch and decadent. People want substance, not scandal.
But the reply from Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the EU was this: "Bill, I believe you are incorrect about President Trump's intentions. The president has been crystal clear no quid pro quos of any kind…"
Now, I'm just being honest with you here: those texts, on their own, without context, shook my faith in the White House position. And of course, the Trump-hating media were all over it. The New York times plastered the texts across their front page on Saturday with dramatic yellow highlights.
It left me wanting to know two things: (1) Were the Ukrainians told that the military aid was being held up unless they investigated Biden? (2) What was the intention – to investigate Biden on the grounds of vice-presidential corruption? Or because he was a political rival?
Now as luck would have it, we got more evidence on exactly those points.
The text messages were given to Congress by Kurt Volker, our special envoy to Ukraine. He also gave them an 11-page witness statement.
Some commentators called that statement "devastating for the president," pointing to the fact that Volker debunks claims by Rudy Giuliani and the president about Ukraine's role in 2016 and Joe Biden's role in Ukraine. That is perfectly true.
But it's not the whole story. In fact, it's not even the main story.
Volker's statement is indeed devastating, but not for the president. If you read the whole thing, rather than cherry-pick the anti-Trump bits, the statement is devastating for the Democrats. It's devastating to the case for impeachment. It pretty much exonerates the president on the main impeachment charges
Kurt Volker has been involved in every aspect of this story, dealing face to face with all the key players, all along: President Trump, President Zelensky, Zelensky's adviser Andriy Yermak, and Giuliani. Volker's been described by Trump critics as an "honest broker.'"
Listen to his actual evidence. On page three of his statement, Volker says:
"At no time was I aware of or took part in an effort to urge Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Biden. As you will see from the extensive text messages, I am providing, which convey a sense of real-time dialogue with several different actors, Vice President Biden was never a topic of discussion."
On page six, talking about President Trump delaying a meeting with Zelensky — a delay that, based on the texts alone, the media cite as evidence of Trump pressuring Ukraine to investigate Biden — Volker says:
"But I believed that the president's long-held negative view toward Ukraine was causing hesitation in actually scheduling the meeting."
Nothing to do with investigating Biden. Just President Trump's concerns over Ukraine corruption, exactly as he's been saying.
On page seven, Volker reports on a meeting he arranged between President Zelensky's adviser and Rudy Giuliani:
"After they met, both Mayor Giuliani and Mr. Yermak called me to give me their impressions. Both were positive. Neither said anything about Vice President Biden."
Based just on the texts, the Democrats and their media allies have zeroed in on talk of a statement that the U.S. side wanted the Ukrainians to make. Again, this is cited as evidence of pressure to investigate Biden. But on page eight of his evidence, Volker says:
"On August 16, Mr. Yermak shared a draft with me, which I thought looked perfectly reasonable. It did not mention Burisma or 2016 elections but was generic. I conveyed this draft to Ambassador Sondland, who agreed it was an excellent statement. We had a further conversation with Mayor Giuliani, who said that in his view, the statement should include specific reference to 'Burisma' and '2016.' Again, there was no mention of Vice President Biden in these conversations."
On to the most serious charge against the president, that there was a quid pro quo on military aid. Here's what Kurt Volker says on page nine of his statement:
"The issue of a hold placed on security assistance to Ukraine also came up during this same time I was connecting Mr. Yermak and Mayor Giuliani. I did not perceive these issues to be linked in any way."
Got that? No link between the Giuliani investigation agenda and the aid.
Then finally on page 10 – what Volker was told at the time about the president's phone call by people who were actually on the call:
"I received a general readout via our charge and my own State Dept. staffer, as well as from Mr. Yermak. All said it was a good, congratulatory call, that they discussed the importance of fighting corruption and promoting reform in Ukraine, and that President Trump reiterated his invitation to President Zelensky to visit the White House."
Six times in an eleven-page statement the special envoy to Ukraine, the man at the center of all this, described even by Trump critics as an "honest broker" — six times he said that he saw no evidence of efforts to investigate Biden as a political rival or to link that to aid in a quid pro quo.
The fact that no-one — literally no one, as far as I'm aware– has reported this just shows you how committed the media are to their anti-Trump narrative.
It's astonishing. These people are deliberately misleading you. Their contempt for Trump has destroyed their professional judgment.
In a week when we saw the unemployment rate again hit a 50-year low, we're reminded why Americans chose Donald Trump: Jobs and dignity after decades of stagnation and disrespect. Immigration brought under control after decades of open borders. China confronted after decades of sell-out and surrender.
The Democrats' obsession with scandal is out of touch and decadent. People want substance, not scandal. We'll explain to you the impeachment evidence for as long as this goes on
But for God's sake, can the Democrats please just get a grip, end this farce and focus on helping Americans have a better life?

Valentine's Day was this week and my devotional reading on February 16, included a brief commentary written by Rev. Nicky Gumbel, an Anglican priest who helped to revise and expand The Alpha Course into worldwide success. The Alpha Course is an evangelistic course which introduces the basics of Christianity through a series of talks and discussions. As of 2015, over 27 million people have taken The Alpha Course.
My devotional reading this year is offered by YouVersion™ which is an online Bible website that is also available as an App for phones and tablets. The plan I am following is called "Bible In One Year 2017". Each day Rev. Gumbel shares a brief devotional overview of the passages for that day before the passages are read.
On Thursday, which seemed to fit well with Valentine's Day being this week, this excerpt caught my eye: "Shortly after we were married, Pippa (Gumbel's wife) and I went on a weekend about marriage. During the weekend there was a session about priorities. We were given five cards – each with a word on it: 'work', 'God', 'ministry', 'husband/wife' and 'children'. We were asked to rank these in order of priority. With hindsight, I can see I got them in completely the wrong order."
"I put 'God' first (at least I got that one right – but it was fairly obvious!), followed by ministry, wife, work, and, finally, children (we didn't have any children at that stage so they didn't seem very important!)."
"As the leaders of the weekend took us through these priorities, it became clear to me that my order should be: first of all God, then my wife (my primary calling), our children, my job (my primary ministry), and finally my ministry – which, though obviously very important, should not be allowed to displace the primary responsibilities of my life. As the philosopher Goethe put it, 'Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.' Put first things first. The things which matter most to God should take first place in our lives."
As I read this I began to wonder whether much of the difficulty we face today in marriages and families doesn't stem from misplaced priorities. After all the first two commandments are: love God and love others. That tells us that the most important thing to God is relationships; first with Him and then with others. And the most important relationships are those within the first institution of society that God created, the family.
So often today we get caught up in excessive focus on our jobs since it is our jobs that enable us to have all the pleasures associated with accumulating wealth. Husbands and wives work long hours leaving precious little time to "work" at building and sustaining a growing marital relationship. When children come along, the added burden of their welfare often upends the correct familial priority and the kids become more important to us than our marriage. This may be hard to hear, but we don't make vows to live with and love our kids forever but we do make those vows to our spouses.
When the stress of making enough to keep ahead of the bills, the "need" to have more and fancier things, and the obvious responsibility of raising good kids is then added to serving in a ministry at church, the marriage takes a rarely noticed back seat. We seem to think that it will just take care of itself. But I'm telling you, it won't.
Next to God, a Christian's first and highest priority must be fashioning a God honoring, put the other first, truly loving and growing marriage relationship. If we don't model this who will? The best thing you can do for your children is to doggedly pursue the best possible relationship you can with your spouse.
Like Jesus told the church at Ephesus, I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember, therefore, from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. (Revelation 2:4-5). Every marriage starts out with romance, intimacy, real friendship, quality time together. That's where love comes from and we forget that we have to work at that to keep it fresh.
I encourage you to examine your priorities and make sure that you have things in the right order. This doesn't say that we sluff off on our jobs or refuse to do ministry so we can focus on the family. It does say we should keep things in their right place. When we do that, all of the priorities will fit and we'll be the best we can be for the Lord.
My wife and I celebrated 47 years of marriage last weekend and we want it to last another 47, if we get to live long. If that's going to happen, we have to make our marriage a priority, just like everyone else. I'm in for the long haul. What about you?

President Trump is accused of using taxpayer-approved foregn aid for his own personal profit and to subvert U.S. national interest.
Republican supporters of Mr. Trump are critical of the testimony by witnesses under oath, claiming that the witnesses are "never-Trumpers." The witnesses include career diplomats Marie Yovanovitch and William Taylor, as well as career military personnel Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, have all sworn allegiance to the Constitution of the U.S. They did not swear allegiance to Donald Trump.
None of the president's supporters are disputing the facts. The testimony that has come out shows that the president has used his position to profit personally, hamper our ally (Ukraine) and promote Russian agenda. The president has tried to suppress evidence by claiming executive privilege on all evidence and testimony.
It is interesting that two indicted witnesses, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, are being extended executive privilege because they did work for Rudy Giuliani. Republicans need to explain their support for subverting our foreign policy for personal gain of the president and I would like them to explain their loyalty to Donald Trump over our Constitution and the rule of law.

Wed, 10 February 2010
2008-09-03 - There is a saying: The road to hell is paved with "bad" intentions. From the Buddha we learn the path to freedom arises from wise intentions. Yet because we habitually grasp after what will immediately relieve or comfort or please us, we often do not listen to our deepest intentions. We forget that in this brief life, what matters most is loving presence. This evening of talk and guided meditations invites participants to examine intentions in their relationships, and to reflect on living from a more awake connection with our heart.

How many miles can you drive this make and model before repairs cost too much? So far, at 115000, I have replaced tires, brakes and batteries, and not much else. I love the car but repairs are two hours away.
When the repairs get to expensive then you will make that decision. As for how far , who knows!
Why? Because that is the nearest Acura dealer? You don't need to use a dealer for repairs.
There are NO auto repair shops within 2 hours of your home? Hard to believe. Find a competent mechanic near where you live NOW before you need one. Ask friends and family, check Yelp, the BBB ect for well rated mechanics.

Best Cheap Marijuana Stocks On Robinhood
It's incredibly easy to sign up a Robinhood account. Simply visit their website and complete some types with some standard information. Next, you'll have to confirm your identity and link your external checking account so that you can deposit and get rid of funds. When that's done, it's time to send your application, and you're excellent to go.
At the time of this writing, the company was marketing shares of Apple, Ford, or Sprint. Savvy financiers know that a share of Apple is particularly valuable out of that group. However in Robinhood's own words, these shares are "selected randomly" from their inventory of settled shares. New account holders can anticipate their totally free share to be worth anywhere between $2.50 and $200. Robinhood clients can feel confident that their funds and trades are safe and safe.
Robinhood belongs to the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). As such, stocks and alternatives accounts up to $500,000 are protected. Account passwords are encrypted using the most recent encryption technology. A two-factor authentication is an alternative for those looking for included security. Robinhood has a slick self-service customer assistance platform.

Now that the seemingly endless Tour de France has reached its familiar climax in Paris, Great British rider Dave 'Cheddar' Chapman from Dorking has at last spoken about the unfortunate technical difficulties which denied him victory in the world's toughest cycle race.
'Christ, my arse is killing me. These seats are a bloody joke,' said Dave, as he finally completed the Tour's 2nd stage, a mere 22 days behind the race leaders. 'I suppose maybe I should have got a bike right after I saw last year's Tour on the telly and got some training in, rather than wait until Halfords had its free helmet Christmas special offer.'
While loading his bike rack with more cheese and Stella for the ride home, Dave added; 'And I would especially like to say a big 'f*ck you' to my mates in Team Rose & Crown. Hopefully next time they'll get a bit further than the first sodding duty-free they see in Calais.'

Examining the un and idps
For least 20 states have got adopted laws or policies based on the Principles and they needs to be encouraged to implement their provisions. John Holmes, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, provided that in asking for the rendering of the Principles and re-inifocing that 'the Guiding Guidelines have become the acknowledged international normal for IDPs' and 'a watershed event in guarding IDPs' (Holmes, 2008). When ever R2P is applied, the promotion in the Principles should be part and parcel from the protection of IDPs.

Fourthly, the exclusion of Disaster IDPs. In a conversation in Berlin in 2008, the ALGUN Secretary-General cautioned that 'Extending the principle [of R2P] to cover different calamities, including HIV/AIDS, environment change, or perhaps response to all-natural disasters, could undermine the 2005 consensus and expand the concept beyond recognition or operational utility' (Ki-moon, 2008).
By stroke of your pen the Secretary-General therefore ruled out of R2P's potential protection of the millions of individuals expected to become uprooted by simply disasters and climate transform. The exclusion is said to accord together with the World Peak Outcome record which omits natural catastrophes from the R2P formulation although the ICISS statement upon which R2P was primarily based recommended being a criteria for R2P's software
"¦¦¦. overwhelming natural or environmental catastrophes, where the point out concerned will either be unwilling or unable to handle, or demand assistance, and significant decrease of life is taking place or threatened" (ICISS, 2001).
The Secretary-General's Unique Adviser Edward cullen Luck strong this exclusion with the discussion that R2P could just be triggered in the event that 'murder or extermination fully commited as part of "a widespread or systematic attack" against the civilian population' would have been to take place (Luck, 2008). Nevertheless , if, inside the context of any natural catastrophe, a federal government were to intentionally cause significant injury to the physical and mental wellness of significant numbers of the civilian populace through blatant neglect, the action (or inaction) could well be said to constitute an assault on that population because postulated simply by Luck. Indeed, the Burmese government's 'reckless indifference' toward the patients of Cyclone Nargis in 2008 managed to get possible to dispute that it was deliberately causing battling on a substantial scale and maybe crimes against humanity (Evans, 2008).
Former Canadian Foreign Minister Lloyd Axworthy argued that Burma's 'actively impeding the timely entrance of assistance and prescription drugs to several million people' should have invoked R2P: 'What is the meaning distinction between closing the doorway of rescuing people coming from death by simply machete and closing the door of life-saving aid? '(Axworthy and Rock, 2008).
When the definition of IDPs was first debated in the 1990s, similar controversies arose. Those against the add-on of tragedy victims asserted that this would broaden the concept and produce it fewer meaningful (Cohen and Deng, 1998). Devastation IDPs had been said to never have the same safety needs since those uprooted by discord. However , most pointed out that government sometimes taken care of immediately disasters by persecuting or neglecting specific groups in political or ethnic reasons. In Ethiopia, in the mid-1980s, the Derg, under the pretext of responding to a natural catastrophe, forcibly and brutally moved hundreds of thousands of highland Tigreans whom it considered personal opponents in lowland malaria-infested areas, vast quantities died because of this. In Sudan, the government declined to declare a state of emergency or request worldwide aid during drought-related famines until it was forced to by the international community because of the common sickness and death (Cohen and Deng, 1998).
A number of college students, moreover, have got pointed out that the mere invoking of R2P can prove useful to guarding those at risk. It described that the time of Cyclone Nargis reportedly manufactured the Burmese government even more responsive to the victims and the international community more actively engaged (Haacke, 2009).
Fifth, the tensions among human privileges and humanitarian education protection of IDPs. R2P's emphasis on man rights safety has at times created tensions with education programs pertaining to IDPs. The moment French Overseas Minister Bernard Kouchner called for R2P's application during Cyclone Nargis, and French, English and US warships neared Burma's coastline, UN Urgent Relief Manager Holmes firmly protested against any type of coercion to safeguard the IDPs as this might undermine foreign and local efforts to bring in humanitarian help. Military power, he would not believe 'would be helpful to folks we are actually trying to help' (WFMIGP, 2009). R2P was even opposed as a great umbrella for the non-military actions used by the Secretary-General, the EL and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
It was argued that settlement and assistance with the specialists without reference to R2P was the best means of gaining access to afflicted areas. In the same way, in Darfur, humanitarian aid workers have got opposed coercive military action under the R2P label as it could lead to the exclusion of their assistance programs pertaining to IDPs (Flint, 2006).
Moreover, R2P's equation with military action is misdirected. Although the Secretary-General regularly has repeated that R2P 'could involve any of the whole range of United Nations equipment, whether pacific measures below Chapter VI of the Charter, coercive types under Section VII, and/or collaboration with regional and sub-regional arrangements under Phase VIII, ' R2P is normally equated simply by governments and the non-governmental community with armed forces action (Mooney, 2008). This misinterpretation of R2P could affect the safety of IDPs because it reinforces the view that efforts in protection seriously mean intervention under the hide of humanitarian education assistance. This sort of confounding of R2P with coercive action can be a setback to what have been achieved thus far for IDPs (Mooney, 2008).
Without a doubt, it has taken more than a decade intended for governments plus the international community to accept they have responsibilities for the assistance and protection of IDPs and that national and international participation does not constitute infringement of their sovereignty. Via 1992 to 2004, Deng worked unceasingly to convince governments that concern to get IDPs has not been a pretext for intercontinental political or perhaps military participation.
Markedly, the concept of 'sovereignty as responsibility' was intended to allay government fears regarding international programs for IDPs. Deng's 'farewell' letter for the Secretary-General underscored this:
The main principle that guided me personally in my work with the requirement has been to balance among allaying the fears of Governments about national sovereignty when impressing upon them the compelling education and human being rights issues of the international community with all the plight with the internally displaced (Deng, 2004).
Walter Kälin, the UN's current Representative of the Secretary-General for the Human Rights of IDPs, has thoroughly avoided relating internal shift to armed forces intervention when ever setting on protection strategies for IDPs as a way not to chemical substance humanitarian and human rights crises.
Similarly, there is certainly limited assurance in armed forces action. Although R2P might often become equated with military actions, the outcomes of these kinds of action pertaining to IDPs have been limited. Security Council promises have more and more authorized ESTE peacekeepers to assume security responsibilities for IDPs and other affected masse in internal conflict conditions. The tasks have went from ensuring humanitarian access, safeguarding IDPs near camps, deterring sexual physical violence, ensuring the protection of humanitarian staff, creating conditions for secure and sensible returns or maybe a host of other countries, peacekeepers have already been charged with providing security to out of place persons and many situations they have improved security for them (ONeill, 2004).
Although peacekeeping quests have also proved to be a great disappointment to those needing protection. Tasks have often been disenchanted by web host country disturbance with their functions, insufficient amounts of troops and equipment, insufficiently trained forces, and ambiguous mandates which experts claim not fully allow for robust protection. Sometimes, peacekeepers have become involved in abusing IDPs populations, specifically women and ladies they are supposed to protect. As a result, IDPs advocates have become even more cautious about trying to peacekeeping missions as a cure all for safeguard. Even wherever robust army force has become applied, as in Kosovo once NATO had taken unilateral actions, the involvement was not in a position to prevent mass killings, rapes and deportations (Korn, 1999). Preoccupation with preventing NATO casualties led to no floor troops staying introduced and reliance upon air attacks from 15, 000 toes, which at times hit caravans and teaches carrying IDPs. To be sure, most Serb causes were at some point forced to pull away, but the armed service strategy did not prevent most of the immediate atrocities against IDPs and other people (Korn, 1999).
Inside the same vein, international concours have also been slower in coming. Because the ESTE has not yet developed the rapid response military potential needed to protect IDPs and other civilians in unfolding events, it must start from scratch everytime. In Darfur, after more than 2 years the EL had nonetheless not had the capacity to deploy 26, 1000 troops and police although needed equipment like choppers was still lacking. In the DRC, it took greater than a month pertaining to the ALGUN to allow 3, 500 additional soldiers to deal with faster violence in North Kivu and many more weeks to actually deploy the power. The mandate and perform of the EL Mission in the DRC (MONUC) are also doubtful when it comes to IDP protection. MONUC has been official to assist the federal government to create a safe environment, but government soldiers have been accountable for much of the shift and lovemaking violence impacting IDPs and also other civilians (Sheridan, 2009).
Marc Anthony's famous eulogy in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar presents a series of inversions, denouncing Caesar's murderers although seeming to praise them. Evidently, R2P is worth of praise nevertheless the doctrine requires more job to become some thing conceptually properly useful for IDPs protection. Depending on an evaluation of the 2009 debates, IDPs protection can be peripheral for the R2P doctrine, and may become excluded via activities beneath the prevention pillar. The R2P doctrine could possibly be more important if it moved over and above the concept of passive protection has to a focus for the rights of the people affected by discord to design alternatives for its quality. This may be the actual test of R2P.
Therefore , the requirement to maintain a high threshold/hierarchy of crimes including genocide being a trigger pertaining to intervention is definitely logical nevertheless flawed the moment applied to the prevention entender. This is biggest when it comes to the treating refugees and IDPs by R2P règle. A narrow focus that will not consider strength gender inequality, economic injustice or minority rights can be unlikely to stop genocide and mass atrocity.

At a time when merger & acquisition (M&A) activities have waned significantly in corporate America, the advisory world has been witnessing a strong M&A trend during the last few years. At the foundation of this trend, buyers seem to be looking for more than just growth or penetrating new markets. Anecdotal evidence suggests that many large RIA firms are employing acquisition strategies as a substitute for their marketing efforts. For the smaller firms, joining forces with other professionals through mergers seems be the best way to deal with the incessant competition from wirehouses and other financial services firms. On the other hand, sellers in this market aren't quitting out of despair, but rather cashing out in what is a seller's market.
M&A in Action
In the latest follow-up survey of 378 RIA firms conducted between January and March 2003, AdvisorBenchmarking.com examined advisors' plans for M&A activities this year. The findings revealed an increased interest in buying or merging with other advisors and professionals, as chart 1: Planned M&A Activities shows below.
Source: AdvisorBenchmarking.com, March 2003
* AdvisorBenchmarking.com's surveys are aimed at pure-RIA firms only, and thus, no institutional M&A activities in the RIA market are reflected in the numbers above.
The Numbers Behind the Trend
Looking closer at the profiles of the three groups represented above (buyers, sellers, and merging firms), a telling picture is revealed, highlighting the impetus for each of these M&A activities. (See chart 2: Financial Profile of Firms Involved in M&A Activities below.)
Source: AdvisorBenchmarking.com, March 2003.
**All figures reflect 2002 year-end financial statements.
Size Matters
As chart 2 above shows, the average buyer in this market is a fairly big RIA firm with over $100 million in assets, compared to merging firms with $24 million and sellers with $50 million. Clearly, larger firms are more likely to have the needed capital to finance an acquisition, the strategic intent to grow through acquisitions, and the solid infrastructure to integrate the acquired firm into its business. Equally notable, firms seeking to merge are much smaller in size ($24 million AUM), as they are less likely to hold their own in the marketplace.
Merging to Survive
Looking at the growth rate–measured by the change in assets under management in 2002 from 2001 levels–we can observe that the merging firms are the ones that bore the brunt of the languishing market conditions of the last three years, seeing their assets tumble by 33% (sted one-third) last year alone. For the selling firms, the positive growth in assets of 4.73%, albeit meager, is one of many indicators suggesting that sellers are cashing out while their businesses are still fairly healthy, as opposed to quitting the market after enduring substantial hits. Once again, the buyers in this market are the stronger firms, sporting healthy growth rates of nearly 15% last year alone.
Sellers Cashing Out, Not Running Away
The revenue and profit margins figures further portray the same picture among the three groups. The buying firms, with healthy revenues of nearly $900,000 and above-average profit margins of 23.86% (average for the industry is 21.5%), are better suited to employ acquisition strategies as a means to growth or expansion. The merging firms, on the other hand, are clearly showing signs of faltering with revenues of $200,000 and squeezed profit margins of 11.40%, nearly half the industry average. Once again, the selling firms don't exhibit weak financials, with profit margins as high as nearly 20% and revenues of over $500,000–further reinforcing the conclusion that sellers are putting solid practices up for sale.
Is Competition Really a Factor?
A close examination of the impact of competition on the three groups in 2002 reveals another variable that appears to be contributing to the mindset of buyers, sellers, and merging firms. (See chart 3: Comparison of Competition below.)
As chart 3 above shows, firms seeking mergers, i.e, firms with low assets, negative growth rates, meager profit margins, and dismal revenues, have also lost a sizable portion (10.63%) of their client base to competitive forces in 2002, which partially explains their feeble financials. Sellers have also lost a fairly large chunk of their clientele (7.78%) to competition, but are closely in line with the industry average of 8.02%. It's fair to conclude that the magnitude of clients lost to competition for each of the three groups is also a factor of their respective size, as larger firms tend to be less vulnerable to losing clients. The mere 2.97% of clientele lost to competition for the buying firm is, therefore, likely to be a result of their large size ($109 million). By the same token, the relatively large loss for both the merging and selling firms is due to their relatively small size ($24 and $50 million, respectively.)
Regardless of your firm's size, if you are considering any similar M&A activities–or have already undergone them–it is important to benchmark yourself to your peers in the marketplace.

The Pleasure Of Driving A Racing Porsche: Olivier And His 1973 911 2.8 RSR In Viper Green
During the cars & coffee event "The Roof", organized by my Carphiles friend Olivier, I had the opportunity to shoot his 911 RSR on an outstanding rooftop in the suburbs of Paris. The perfect grey day contributed to creating a unique atmosphere, matching perfectly with the 911.
One of the best details of this car for me and for many Porsche enthusiast is the ducktail spoiler, making it distinguishable from any other 911, as well as the race track history behind it back in the '70s. This car is one of my favourites of his collection. Maybe you saw something about Olivier before; He was one of the first to appear on Carphiles in Europe with his 944 Rothmans earlier this year.
I asked Olivier some questions about the entire story behind this stunning example of the legendary 911 RSR – hope you enjoy!
911 2.8 RSR EVO 1973 in Viper Green… is it right?
Yes, it's a 911 RSR EVO from 1973 based on a 911 2.4 TE with mechanical injection.
The colour Viper green suits her so well! Immediately it reminds me of the beautiful '70s hippie period, I like this nostalgia.
How did you come across the 911 and what's your favourite detail or what do you love most about your RSR?
I always dreamt of owning a racing 911 with all the superlatives and an engine that roars with a sound completely bewitching. Beyond the mechanics, the line is spectacular. With her big wings wide, the mythic ducktail and a sublime ass. She had all the attributes that I dreamed with a price oddly more affordable than a 911T classic. I think it was due to the fact that five or ten years ago, no one was looking for racing models.
The work that was done on the car was more expensive than the price I bought it.
What condition was the car in when you bought it? Do you know about your Porsche's history and previous owners?
I bought this car from a gentlemen racing driver. The guy was very nice and could not keep the car for family reasons. He sold it to me with regret. I know, he was really in love with this car and I understand him; It's such a pleasure to drive it. I remember that his wife had prepared a cake to console him. He was on the verge of tears when I left Perpignan with the 911.
Did you restore it or was the RSR already restored when you got it?
The former owner had done three races, taking good care of the car. Two or three years before, the car had been fully restored and prepared state of the art, It's really very close to a real 2.8 RSR factory, every detail has been carefully treated.
The 911 has received a lot of vintage factory parts. Its engine delivers 230 horses today. It´s a 2.4 S engine block modified in 2.7 RS with a lot of work on details. The 915 gearbox has also been modified with a short way, It has big four-piston brakes and larger discs with a hydraulic handbrake.
The 911 is equipped with a bow, vintage bucket seats, spaghetti exhaust, and a sporty muffler made of very fine steel. The door panels are those of a 2.7 vintage weight lift, it has an 80L plastic fuel tank from the 2.7 RS. The windows are made of Makrolon and it has specific pedals.
The engine hood, rear bonnet and the doors are made of fiber. Overall the 911 weighs just over 900 kg. The power-to-weight ratio is just phenomenal!
What about the sticker "Coll Racing" on the front window?
Jean Michel Coll is the restorer of this 911, he had done it all before. I'm therefore the third hand since its restoration and preparation. He is a renowned "préparateur" who has worked on many Porsches. He is based in Perpignan and the team is called Coll Racing.
Personally, I wanted to keep all racing details on the beast. The banner disappeared because I put a cover on the car for a "marketing" operation with my brand ANYWAYS and the brand Franco-Japanese Maison Kitsuné. It will be a surprise at the end of November! I can't wait.
What about the "Period Correct" sticker and your jacket – are you a big fan of the brand?
"Period Correct" is the streetwear brand of my friend Bryan. His workshop is located in Costa Mesa, near Los Angeles in California. It's a brand that inspires me, I like the codes it represents and the universe around it. The artistic approach of Bryan is authentic and it's felt through his collection.
What about number 16? Does it mean something special to you?
Number 16 was simply the number of my last regularity rally, I left it by negligence. I also removed it to make room for the cover and the number 75, which is the postcode for Paris.
In your Instagram account, I saw many race track pictures. Do you race a lot?
I really like the race track so much! But unfortunately, my financial means do not allow me to race as much as I would like to. I do about four to five race track trips per year, plus two or three regularity rallies. What amuses me, is the sensations, the pleasure and the constant learning of how to drive better – not the fact of arriving first at a stage. I'm more in the game itself rather than what I win.
What's it like to drive/race on this RSR?
It must be heard screaming in the right line of the stands of the circuit of Le Mans to get goosebumps! There is no more modern car player like it today. Only vintage racing cars can provide such sensations.
This 911 was built with the same details of the 2.8 RSR factory, with the same adjustments, in order to have maximum performance.
The Porsche Carrera RSR is one of the most important sports cars in the construction of Porsche's image, based on reliability and performance. All that could be won during their period was won on the Carrera RS and RSR in their respective categories. In 1973, it was really Porsche to beat. I think the Carrera RSR will continue making pages in the history of Motorsport.
Tell me about your experience at the Rally Ol'Drive with your 911.
The Orléans Ré Rally is a family rally, we leave with friends from Paris to Orléans with the ambition to have fun above all!
We are lucky that the roads are so beautiful in France. The arrival on the island of Ré in autumn with the grazing lights of the season is just sublime! My friend photographer Vincent Perraud is always making beautiful cliché photos during the trip, I feel very inspired by him.
Do you think you'll keep this car forever?
I cannot swear anything, but it is the car most pleasurable to drive. She is playful, reliable and she has a crazy face, it gives me such a sensation. Also, I have so many wonderful memories and race stories. My girlfriend and I also went through so many adventures during our trips in the 911. For sure this would be the last one of my collection to sell. Oddly, the one that cost me the least.
