A Renewed Appetite For Risk
Stock investors could scarcely have asked for a better quarter. The rally that began in early March continued to power upward. All the major indexes moved into positive territory for 2009. From their March lows, the S&P 500 at one point had risen just short of 40%, the Dow was up 34.4%, the Nasdaq shot up 46.8%, and small caps climbed a head-turning 53.8%. Increased stock issuance, technical resistance levels, higher mortgage rates, automaker bankruptcies, and higher unemployment didn’t faze investors who are betting the economy will grow its way out of the recession. |

Richard Suinn, Ph.D. By Annie Guo
Professor Richard M. Suinn, Ph.D. was recently elected to serve on the American Psychological Association’s Council of Representatives, the policy- making body of this national organization. The American Psychological Association (APA) is the voice of American Psychology and with its 150,000 members is the largest organization of psychologists in the world. APA sponsors an annual convention in cities such as San Francisco, Chicago, New York and just last month in Toronto uniting up to 15,000 participants. Dr. Suinn, a Chinese American, was the first Asian American elected to the APA presidency and the third ethnic minority person in this office in more than 100 years of the APA. He is currently an emeritus professor of psychology, having served as Head of the Colorado State University Psychology Department for 20 years. He is the author of the Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale, the most used measure by researchers studying Asian-American acculturation. He recently authored a book chapter showing how acculturation among Asian Americans influences physical and mental health, family adjustment, school achievement, and response to counseling. Dr. Suinn lives in Fort Collins, Colo. where he was also on the city council and mayor. |

Hello AAm Readers,|
On May 30, the night of the program’s finale show, the judges named her the 2009 Miss Asian American Colorado (Miss AACO). She held in the tears and brandished her trademark smile as last year’s winner, Duacee Lor, placed the crown upon her head. For two months, the 20-year-old Regis University student had been a part of the Miss AACO program, earning experience through a variety of service projects and forging lifelong relationships with young women who became her surrogate family of sisters. |
