1. reserve

   Bashfulness is a shrinking from notice without assignable reason. Coyness is a half encouragement, half avoidance of offered attention, and may be real or affected. Diffidence is self-distrust; modesty, a humble estimate of oneself in comparison with others, or with the demands of some undertaking. Modesty has also the specific meaning of a sensitive shrinking from anything indelicate. Shyness is a tendency to shrink from observation; timidity, a distinct fear of criticism, error, or failure. Reserve is the holding oneself aloof from others, or holding back one's feelings from expression, or one's affairs from communication to others. Reserve may be the retreat of shyness, or, on the other hand, the contemptuous withdrawal of pride and haughtiness. Compare ABASH; PRIDE; TACITURN.

1. Todd Rosenbluth:

   We think given the market volatility in August, investors were comfortable moving money into a fund with a strong long-term track record under current management, dBLTX, which is an S&P Capital IQ five-star for its risk/reward profile and low costs, has continued to outperform its peers in 2015 and takes on less interest-rate risk.

That vigilance is the most important proof of respect for the law.

4. Paul Nolte:
