From, “Seeding the Next Fortunes,” by Karen Hube, 3/3/12, Barron’s:
In this tremulous age when a widely perceived "safe" investment can collapse in just a few screen blips, or a long-term laggard can suddenly break out, divvying up your assets has never required more thought. "You may choose the right asset class, but if you're in the wrong part of the church, you're going to miss the sermon," says David Darst, chief investment strategist at Morgan Stanley.
Darst's churchly analogy rather elegantly sums up the intense search for divine wisdom going on inside every one of the private banks, brokerage firms and family offices in our 2012 asset-allocation survey.
Tremulous: shaking or quivering slightly
Analogy: a comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification
