While I never intended to focus solely on the practical side of finance, nearly all of my work revolves around it. For example, I have done research that forecasted assets' expected returns as

percent of the nation's investment dollars are not in stocks, but in bonds, certificates of deposit, or money-market accounts. This almost makes it seem like investors are afraid of the stock market, or more so the risk associated with the market's volatility.

forty years ago with the invention of the capillary column. The gas chromatograph offers rapid and very high-resolution separations of a very wide range of compounds, with the only restriction that the analyzed substance needs to have sufficient volatility.
