CAPITAL MARKETS,
MONEY, BANKING, & CORPORATE FINANCE

 

Adam Smith & "The Money Game" : A 5 page essay on Adam Smith's "The Money Game"-- discussing the relevance of Smith's assertions to changes occurring in the former Soviet Union after its collapse. The writer examines in light of the book whether stock markets and capitalism can "exist and benefit all the people rather than exploit the many for the benefit of the few." Adamamit.wps

Adam Smith's "The Money Game" / Relevance To Today's Economies : This 10 pages paper uses the "Father of Economics'" work, "The Money Game" as its reason, but speaks more to Adam Smith's basic theories and how they apply to today's economies, particularly those of America and the evolving Russian prefects since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The discussion of America's economy compares the New Deal of FDR to Ronald Reagan's "trickle down" approach of Reaganomics. Included is a glance at the length of time required for government to effectively back away from the free or mixed market and the inability of only one subsequent and ideologically opposed administration to change the set course in only one term. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Moneygam.wps

Adam Smith & Jane Austen : A 7 page paper that argues the comparison between the moral convictions related to social constructs presented by authors like Jane Austen with the sympathetic development of morality through emotion presented by Adam Smith. It is Smith's basic contention that man is inherently good, and that his moral development comes from his ability to perceive and diminish selfishness. This paper utilizes the text from Smith "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" as a means for demonstrating his theory. Smithaus.wps

Economic Value Added (EVA) and Western Atlas International : A 30 page research paper providing an overview of EVA principles and relates them to the status of Western Atlas International, a Los Angeles based company. The writer supports the view that Western Atlas could benefit from EVA principles in their business and management divisions. Bibliography lists 18 sources. EVA.wps

Banking & The Economy In Guatemala : A 12 page examination of the role of Guatemala’s banking system in the evolution of the country’s economy. The civil war of 36 years’ duration finally came to an end in 1996 and the government seems to have stabilized to the point of being able to accomplish some good for the country. There is still a wide disparity between rich and poor, with little middle class. The banking system has learned some hard lessons in the last 20 years that may serve the country well now. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Guatbank.wps

Nine Months Of Merger Activity : A 5 page paper discussing the astounding rates of merger activity not only in the US, but all over the world. The writer focuses on the US and uses the financial services industry as its prime example since that industry is the most flamboyant in its merger activity. Banks show no hesitation at paying three and four times the stated book value for the entity they want to buy, and often pay as much as 20 times the earnings rate of the bank they are buying in order to expand their asset base. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Mergers.wps

Corporate Reorganization and Tax Laws : A 7 page paper focusing on some of the considerations necessary for a productive corporate reorganization as seen from an accountant’s viewpoint.

Effects Of Demand & Zero Price Elasticity On Dow Jones : A 5 page discussion of how, despite the atrophy experienced by the Dow Jones Industrial Average over 3 decades, that a monetarist-type demand created a zero price elasticity that spared the company from its conservative growth policy, which in turn extended to the functioning of the macroeconomic realm of the New York Stock Exchange. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Dowjones.wps

The Effects Of Institutional Ownership : A 5 page essay analyzing the effects of institutional ownership.

Bank Mergers : A 5 page discussion of legal issues and considerations in bank mergers. Primary focus is upon the Federal Bank Holding Company Act and Bank Merger Act. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Bankmerg.wps

Junk Bonds : A 6 page research paper. "Junk" is the common name for bonds issued by companies with below-investment-grade credit ratings of BB or less. Because these firms are considered more likely to default, they must offer higher yields to attract investors. The economy’s long and steady sustained growth over the last seven years has enabled these businesses of questionable credit ratings to prosper along with those with better credit standings, and few junk issuers are having any trouble making their payments. Bonds are attractive to investors of any age. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Junkbond.wps

Leveraged Buyouts : A 10 page overview on leveraged buyouts. While popular in the eighties, ramifications of these mergers are still felt today. LBO companies of the 1980's are compared to a new breed of firms that are popular today. Bibliography lists 10 sources. Buyouts.wps

These two factors affect nearly every industry in the industrialized nations today, but the focus in this paper is only on their effects on the overall retail industry in the United States. Economic growth is only briefly discussed, and only in its relationship to increased competition. The paper tells the tale of two companies, Toys R Us and Specs Music Corporation, and the consequences they face today for not having performed their risk management duties well in the past, and for not evaluating the impact of changing external factors on their company’s performance. Bibliography lists 12 sources. Riskmgt.wps

Corporate Wealth Maximization : A 5 page paper discussing the concentration on wealth, rather than profit, maximization. The typical approach of most businesses is to generate the highest levels of profit possible, both for increasing their own profitability and their shareholders’ equity. In recent years, however, some companies have begun holding onto more and more of the profits they do generate, choosing to reinvest in the company rather than to pay full dividends to their shareholders. Private companies gain even more benefit by positioning themselves to better withstand economic fluctuations. Bibliography lists five sources. Corpcash.wps

Certainly the real estate industry, both residential and commercial segments, were greatly affected by the downsizing waves on either side of the year of 1990, as were many others. With the sustained growth of the national economy, however, many of those depreciated properties have now regained and even surpassed their former values. The private owners and real estate developers suffered, but we all really did, too. We’re growing now, and we even have the added benefit of lessons learned from the effects of downsizing. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Downsize.doc

The Federal Reserve, CPI and Open Market Sales : A 5 page paper that discusses recent action taken by the Federal Reserve in regards to inflation.

Bibliography lists 5 sources. Reserves.wps

The Federal Reserve System Effect on Consumer Interest Rates : A 6 page economic analysis of how the Federal Reserve, the nation s central bank, affects interest rates in all areas of consumer activity and can either boost or hold back economic growth by means of interest rate manipulation. Though the Fed is interest rate charged to commercial banks, the discount rate, is the most visible means of economic manipulation, it is by no means the only one available. There are other avenues the Fed can choose, each with varied results but with the same overall effect that of controlling economic growth through interest rates. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Fedres.wps

Interest Rates, Inflation, & The Federal Reserve : 4 pages in length. Still quite useful as a model, this paper discusses how current events during the last quarters of 1995 led the Federal Reserve to push interest rates up higher and increase inflation -- despite warnings from economists to do otherwise. No Bibliography. Infltion.wps

Interest Rate Policy Of The Bank of Japan : 12 pages in length. Until the 1980’s, the Bank of Japan had an active role in implementing government-directed fiscal policy, but as the economy stabilized and seemed to be completely self-sustaining, regulatory influences were increasingly withdrawn. Today, the Bank of Japan is charged mainly with establishing and maintaining interest rates. In that respect, it is comparable to our Federal Reserve. Years of questionable business finance practices have been catching up to Japan faster than Japan can catch up to the consequences. The Bank of Japan’s role has been to keep interest rates artificially low in an attempt to aid commercial banks on the verge of failure, but those interest rates being at such low levels is having other and far-reaching implications for the Japanese economy. Bibliography lists 10 sources. Bankjap.wps

Bibliography lists 6 sources. Finmarkt.rtf

The writer takes the position that there are more regularities and discusses different option pricing models as well as logic to support the assertion. The use of the same formulas for decades is another supporting piece of evidence to support the assertion. Bibliography lists 5 sources. FinMkt.wps

U.S. Monetary Policy in Modern History : An 8 page research paper on monetary policy -- the management of money supply, credit, and interest rates by a government. The writer is particularly concerned with the role that the Federal Reserve plays in determining monetary policy and how such policy evolved in the U.S. during the 1970's and 80's focusing on the strong influence that inflation played during the earlier years.

Online Investing : A 9 page paper looking at the reinvention of at least one of the financial wheels of our society. Ettorre says, "At intermittent junctures in history, such earth-shattering and revolutionary advances occur that they wipe out what has gone before or change it so profoundly that the world is never the same again. Once our ancestors dimly realized that it was easier to roll something than to drag it…we humans were on our way." It would appear that the same magnitude of change is occurring in investment habits. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Investon.wps

I.P.O.s and Their Tremendous Success on the Stock Market : A 5 page look at several Initial Product/Price Offerings (IPOs) and why they're so effective at attracting investors out to make a 'quick buck.' The writer posits that the biggest winners in 'the IPO game'; are the institutions; brokerage houses (which set aside the shares for their best customers), mutual funds, insurance companies and pension funds that snap up most of the shares of the best IPOs. No Bibliography. Ipo.wps

The Bull Market Of The 1990s : A 5 page paper illustrating that the stock market of recent years has indeed been a bull one. It seems the entire country has been in awe of the performance of the stock market in recent years, and there is talk among economists that the old and classic model of the business cycle might well be obsolete, that "bust" does not always follow "boom." Whether that speculation will prove to be valid or not, the US economy has experienced several straight years of slow and steady growth, with advances in economic indicators each year. The trend toward globalization reduces business’ risk in any given geographical location, and businesses are operating in a more fiscally sound manner than in any other recent time. The factors that have contributed to the long-standing bull market are still in place. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Bull-Mkt.doc

Is The Bull Market Going To Last? : A 5 page paper discussing whether the bear is ever going to return. There are some hard and fast rules within the universe. Until the early 1990s, one had been that the stock market would rise until stock values had reached a point at which they were overvalued in some degree, then they would "correct." We have no reason to believe that rule will not activate in any given year or even tomorrow. But the interval of the cycle has certainly been stretched beyond the limits of anyone’s imagination only a few years ago. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Bullmkt.wps

Managing Interest Rate Risk : 8 pages in length. Citing that bank participation in derivative markets has risen sharply in recent years, the writer discusses interest rate risk and how to manage it with particular application to derivative contracts. Bibliography lists 10 sources. Intrrate.wps

Market Correction Through Governmental Regulation : 8 pages in length. We learn from economics texts that for every economic imbalance that occurs, there is a corrective reaction that occurs to reestablish equilibrium. Those corrective actions are not immediate though, and sometimes they seemingly take forever. Arguing in favor of government control is not to say that businesses need to be regulated in their ability to operate or to make their own decisions, and in fact they need to be encouraged to develop new products and services to be able to remain competitive. Government regulation is required in financial sectors to control those market flaws that cannot be otherwise corrected. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Govtreg.wps

The Money Revolution & America's Infatuation with Interest : A 5 page analytical look at what author and economic analyst Joseph Nocera called "The Money Revolution." The writer examines rising 'interest in interest rates,' the changing financial habits of the middle class, and how the economy has affected a newfound consciousness in which average people are, for the first time in modern history, genuinely concerned about the growth of their personal investments. Excellent analysis is provided into the role of money market funds, varying interest rates, and more. No Bibliography. Monybank.wps

Rising Interest Rates : 3 page essay providing a basic overview of the Federal Reserve and rising interest rates. No Bibliography. Fedresph.wps

Option Volatility and Pricing : A 7 page essay reviewing Sheldon Natenberg's book, "Option Volatility and Pricing." This is one of the most widely read books in the stock market. Sections include: language to know and understand; what are call and put options; how volatility is determined; different elements to consider before entering this market. Optionv.wps

The Babson Value Fund : A 9 page paper analyzing the performance of Babson Value Fund, a low-risk, top-performing mutual fund over the period of 8/1/92 through 8/1/97, and then comparing that analysis to the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average over the same period. Babson Value is a stock fund of the growth and income category. As such, its growth in Net Asset Value (NAV), the value of one of its shares, has closely followed that of the Dow for the same period. The paper briefly glances at the Dow’s flirt with the "impossible" mark of 3000 in 1990 and 1991 and includes historical leading economic indicator indices. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Babson.wps

Fidelity Select Home Finance Mutual Fund : An 8 page search for an aggressive-growth mutual fund for the purpose of serving the long-term needs of a late-20’s investor with a mid-30’s salary. Funds heavily weighted along the lines of the leading economic indicators of the US, while beneficial for those investors seeking only income or limited growth and income, most likely will decline in their ability to provide their former high rates of return in aggressive growth. Healthcare and financial applications are expected only to grow, however. One of those funds is the balanced, aggressive-growth fund of Fidelity Select Home Finance. Bibliography lists 10 sources. Fund.wps

How To Lose In The Stock Market : A 6 page essay on the folly of attempts on the part of the small investor in trying to reinvent the wheel in investing in the stock market by trying to "beat the odds" and ignore every sound investment practice. Though market investing is a proven method of building true wealth, it takes common sense and a commitment of time. Market-generated wealth is not a quick-turnaround reality. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Stockm.wps

The Salomon Brother Scandal / Wall Street Prosecutes ! : A 9 page paper on the Salomon Brothers Scandal of the early 1990's in which a prestigious trading firm was caught submitting $15.5 billion in phony bids to buy more U.S. government bonds and notes than it was allowed. The writer discusses SEC involvement, the firm's quick own restoration of its good name and some of the recommendations posed for preventing the occurrence of another scandal in the future. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Salomon.wps

Wall Street / Ethical Issues Presented : A 7 page paper that describes the moral and ethical dilemmas presented to Bud Fox in the movie "Wall Street." One of the major themes in the movie is the issue of being a moral individual in an amoral organization, and Bud's character and the character of Gekko provide the essence of his discussion. Wallstre.wps

Has Negative Publicity Affected Tobacco Companies’ Stock Prices? : An 8 page research paper investigating the ways in which negative publicity might have affected the performance of the nation’s top two tobacco companies in the stock market. Some analysts have said that the companies’ stockholders are bearing the brunt of the rash of lawsuits and multi-billion dollar settlements in questions of tobacco-related health concerns and that the losses are "unfair" to the long-time investors. Philip Morris, the leading cigarette manufacturer, consistently posts gains and their three-year stock performance mirrors that of the DOW Industrials.

Of course it’s always easier to see what could have been done than it is to have a completely clear view of the best long-term course of action when making a decision, but seeing the way is never clear through the fog of massive ego and arrogance.

Market Correction Through Governmental Regulation : 8 pages in length. We learn from economics texts that for every economic imbalance that occurs, there is a corrective reaction that occurs to reestablish equilibrium. Those corrective actions are not immediate though, and sometimes they seemingly take forever. Arguing in favor of government control is not to say that businesses need to be regulated in their ability to operate or to make their own decisions, and in fact they need to be encouraged to develop new products and services to be able to remain competitive. Government regulation is required in financial sectors to control those market flaws that cannot be otherwise corrected. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Govtreg.wps

With the continued growth of the economy after 7 years of steady expansion, some economists were claiming that the classic business cycle is obsolete.

For seven years, the economy had been in a growth phase but also with the lowest rate of unemployment since 1973 and an inflation rate of only 2.2%.

The Bull Market Of The 1990s : A 5 page paper illustrating that the stock market of recent years has indeed been a bull one. It seems the entire country has been in awe of the performance of the stock market in recent years, and there is talk among economists that the old and classic model of the business cycle might well be obsolete, that "bust" does not always follow "boom." Whether that speculation will prove to be valid or not, the US economy has experienced several straight years of slow and steady growth, with advances in economic indicators each year. The trend toward globalization reduces business’ risk in any given geographical location, and businesses are operating in a more fiscally sound manner than in any other recent time. The factors that have contributed to the long-standing bull market are still in place. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Bull-Mkt.doc

Is The Bull Market Going To Last? : A 5 page paper discussing whether the bear is ever going to return. There are some hard and fast rules within the universe. Until the early 1990s, one had been that the stock market would rise until stock values had reached a point at which they were overvalued in some degree, then they would "correct." We have no reason to believe that rule will not activate in any given year or even tomorrow. But the interval of the cycle has certainly been stretched beyond the limits of anyone’s imagination only a few years ago. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Bullmkt.wps

Economic Conditions in 1990 and 1996: A 9 page paper comparing the economy of 1990 with that of 1996. The recession of 1990-1991 was a particularly distressing one, and consumer confidence did not readily return at the end of the recession. In fact, consumer confidence did not cease falling until nearly a year after the end of the recession. By 1996, consumer confidence appeared to be stable, but they still had not returned to their prior spending habits. Closer examination reveals that while unemployment and inflation were low, real disposable income had failed to keep up with costs. Consumers were spending less than before 1990 simply because there was less to spend. Bibliography lists 6 sources. E9096.wps

Unemployment Rates In The Prosperous Economy: A 5 page paper looking at what is really happening with the unemployment rates in this country. While Europe hovers in double digits, unemployment is at its lowest here in 24 years. The result has been a pronounced labor shortage in the lower-paying industries and an increase in hourly rates. As employers of mostly-skilled workers begin to cut back, employers of the relatively unskilled find themselves with a new and more qualified labor pool, leaving the bottom end of the spectrum out of jobs once again. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Unemplyd.wps

Interest Rates’ Real Track : A 5 page paper examining just where interest rates might go. Since 1991, the US economy has been in a slow, steady expansion mode that seems to have no inclination to stop any time soon. Forecasted growth consistently is 2.5 to 3.5 percent; observed growth is consistently higher, but still only slightly above 4 percent. That rate is not one that needs to be curbed in order to control inflation, and in fact, inflation incredibly seems to be controlling itself. The only valid reason for increasing interest rates is to prevent the economy from growing so quickly that inflation begins to escalate, so it is unlikely that there will be any increase in either short- or long-term rates, but it is possible that they will decline even further.

The Bull Market Of The 1990s : A 5 page paper illustrating that the stock market of recent years has indeed been a bull one. It seems the entire country has been in awe of the performance of the stock market in recent years, and there is talk among economists that the old and classic model of the business cycle might well be obsolete, that "bust" does not always follow "boom." Whether that speculation will prove to be valid or not, the US economy has experienced several straight years of slow and steady growth, with advances in economic indicators each year. The trend toward globalization reduces business’ risk in any given geographical location, and businesses are operating in a more fiscally sound manner than in any other recent time. The factors that have contributed to the long-standing bull market are still in place. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Bull-Mkt.doc

Economic Conditions in 1990 and 1996: A 9 page paper comparing the economy of 1990 with that of 1996. The recession of 1990-1991 was a particularly distressing one, and consumer confidence did not readily return at the end of the recession. In fact, consumer confidence did not cease falling until nearly a year after the end of the recession. By 1996, consumer confidence appeared to be stable, but they still had not returned to their prior spending habits. Closer examination reveals that while unemployment and inflation were low, real disposable income had failed to keep up with costs. Consumers were spending less than before 1990 simply because there was less to spend. Bibliography lists 6 sources. E9096.wps

Will US Prosperity Continue? : A 7 page paper asking this same question that economists ask.

It is true that the US economy is in the longest period of expansion of the century. The question is whether it will continue or whether it will come to an abrupt and devastating halt within the next two or three years. Bibliography lists nine sources. Prosper.wps
