279. Heed; Resolute



Excerpt from, “More Stocks, Fewer Bonds,” by Karen Hube, Barron’s Cover (online) March 4, 2013:

Wealthy investors appear to be heeding their managers' advice, which itself is a big change. In the past few years, portfolio managers have periodically urged their clients to become more risk-tolerant and more open to equities, but their clients wouldn't budge. Still rattled by the recession of 2008, they resolutely ignored their bankers' advice.

Heed: pay attention to; take notice of
Resolute: admirably purposeful; determined
