in over-the-top movies where prospects are limitless. Conceptualizing the word ‘limitless’ is what excites me towards pursuing the Financial Engineering major. The study in financial engineering will help me invent new strategies about different stocks and help me invest in the correct stock. This type of engineering will be the foundation for my career in the financial industry. In this world there are so many tools such as Hedge Funds, Insurance, Capital Markets and all these are nothing but catalyst

With the widely emerging electronic platforms in financial market for the exchange of all types of financial instruments (i.e. securities, derivatives, commodities and futures), the electronic centralized order book has become the standard market mechanism for price discovery in today’s financial markets. As a result, many investors now employ algorithmic trading to automatically make trading decisions, submit orders, and manage those orders after submission. Algorithmic trading is the use of computer
polylactic acid (PLA), poly vinyl alcohol (PVOH) (24). Figure. 2 gives a brief summary of the applications of biomass-derived degradable polymers. Nowadays, there are tremendous interest in research and using of biopolymers in packaging, civil engineering, biomedical and automotive mystery
if you ignore what universities actually teach. The majority of what is taught at universities will be of no use to their graduates in their future careers. If the purpose of a college education was to increase relevant work-related skills they would look more like vocational schools where students would specialize in particular skills relevant for their future careers, rather than studying small amounts of every subject. Instead, to a large extent, the purpose of college is to act as a costly signaling
Enron's balance sheet, Skilling called him an "ass----." Still, even some Enron executives worried that the company had gone too far with two complex partnerships set up in 1999 to buy company assets and hedge investments. With Enron's then-chief financial officer acting as general manager of the partnerships and in a position to personally benefit from their investments, the potential for a conflict of interest and backlash from investors seemed overwhelming. "Internally, everybody said this is not
institutions that sought to profit as much as possible at the expense of the financial system. In the 1970s, the United States saw very little economic growth. In fact, in 1976, the market was no higher than its level of eleven years before, and the purchasing power of the average stock had fallen by two thirds . From 1970 to 1979, the number of Americans who owned stock fell by seven million . Corporate governance characterized the financial culture for most of the twentieth century. This principle explained
The 2007 financial crisis, a “once in a century event” a crisis congruent to The Great Depression, has continued to puzzle scholars and economists alike. A crisis of American origin, had the ability to spread rapidly across the world and affect both developed and emerging market economies simultaneously. It is a trite but no less true observation that a lack of a global system of regulation was a main cause of the inception and contagion of a crisis on a global scale. An analysis of the preceding
