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.

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.

Efficient Market Theory : A 5 page paper discussing the
theoretical and empirical validity of the weak, semi-strong
and strong forms of the theory. Stock market information
remains less than completely reliable, as there are those
companies that analysts believe should be performing at
much higher levels in terms of stock price than the actual
prices would indicate; there are others that analysts
consistently report as being overvalued. Insider trading
indicates that the strong form cannot possibly be valid.
Some researchers claim that the problem lies not with the
theory but with our ability to measure results correctly,
calling for a non-linear, rather than linear, assessment of
data. Bibliography lists 8 sources. KSEffMkt.doc
