Perfect market implies that the same expectation on securities are with all participant, this may not be true as trade only occur when there are heterogeneous expectations.

The answer to this question and many more shows that there are anomalies of the ...

Many people think that there is no need for financial analysis especially in a perceived efficient capital market. This is a very wrong presumption; there are very many ways in which financial analysis add value to the capital market even when it appears to be efficient.

As the efficiency of the capital market concentrates on the stock market future prices, analysts do entire analysis of the industry.

Perhaps any of us has experienced and gone through tough times in their lives, when money is gone and you feel at the edge of the world. Most of us may never know ahead of an emergency, otherwise we could have prepared to save ourselves and our worth.

A strategy for a financial emergency sounds fine, but I would tend think that no formula has been invented to satisfy each and every occasion.

As ordinary people, we are open to vulnerabilities that ...

Communication refers to sending a message from one party to another through a given medium. It is essential to note that for communication to take place, the party being targeted by the message must actually receive the message. This simple definition highlights three significant components of any communication process. These are; the sender of the message, the medium being used to transfer or transmit the message and the recipient of the message. The role of these three components becomes even more critical during communication in crisis situations. The New Orleans incident can be used illustratively. Emergency teams co-coordinating rescue operations had ...

Water cannot be created nor destroyed. The amount of water all over the world has been always constant for literally ages.

After all, every single one of the billion world population needs eight glasses of water a day, and that is just for bodily intake. And no one survives without water for a span of days.

According to Thomas Kuhn, science normally progresses in four stages. The first stage is known as the Pre-Paradigm Science. This phase of scientific advancement is the science practice lacking a core set of methods or propositions. In this stage some the paradigms are somewhat vague and for that reason new observations can be accommodated since the indefinite form of the paradigm does not clearly define what are acceptable or unacceptable outcomes. Discovery takes place as an outcome of the more or less random observations made and employed to create a paradigm view that is more structured.
The second stage is ...

Years later, when Hurricane Ike ravaged Galveston, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) was ready. Public ...

If you were to tell your great grandmother or great grandfather that journalism is in a present-day crisis, they would probably tell you that that’s an absurd idea.

Therefore, I argue that journalism is in crisis for three reasons: the advent of the internet has resulted in so much readily available news from different mediums that ...
