Barrick Gold

stock. Apple Inc. is a multinational technology company that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and online services (Wikipedia, 2016). You would think that the company that brought us the iPhone would always perform steadily, but that was not the case during my time in the stock market. Apple’s stock was on a rollercoaster ride for the majority of the game, but ended down at $109.99 on the final day. A decline in sales of the all enduring iPhone and the iPad have hurt Apple’s stock recently. Barrick Gold Corporation (ABX) is another stock that I felt underperformed. Barrick Gold Corporation is a gold mining company that has operations set up in Argentina, Canada, Chile, Peru, the United States, Zambia, and among other countries (About Us, 2016). Gold has been on the decline this year, but Barrick’s stock has considerably underperformed. With a loss of 3.74%, ABX was by far the worst stock in which I invested. Gold is on the decline so I only see times getting worse from here. The dividend yield was a key factor of a company’s success. A dividend yield is represented as a percentage, and indicates how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price (Investopedia, 2016). Of course my Walt Disney (DIS) stock performed well because who doesn’t want to go see Mickey?! For me, investing in Disney stock was a no-brainer. The stock brings a dividend yield of 1.37%. Disney’s stock is almost never on the decline.…

answer is clear and concise; governing officials would no longer be hired on a salary, instead they would be paid in food for their families and even housing for them to stay in. I would even go so far as to argue that incumbents hired under these pretenses would be less corruptible and more morally driven. Government owned mines and farms would bring in the precious metals, livestock, and crops needed to feed and fund a needy society. Farm workers in my utopia are given housing, precious…

Ancient and Modern."). Ancient Egypt, Alexandria, had become a cultural hub for commerce, tradesmen, and all manner of people and ideas (Principe 9). The idea of alchemists stumbling toward their next discovery is refuted by the existence of techniques and operations that were fundamental to an alchemist’s primary goal of transmutation. The smelting of metals and the making of alloys was a fundamental and already established framework in Egypt…

Even though Midas was a very wealthy king he still wasn’t satisfied with the riches he had, so he asked to have a golden touch, turning everything into gold, literally food and everything he touched, which he soon realized he couldn’t even eat anything without it turning to gold. Loy states, “today this simple yet profound story is even more relevant than it was an ancient Greece”(Loy 26). To bring his point across, I agree with Loy, because today no matter how much money some people have and…

food and water. he says in the book that he could kill them one by one and they would not notice as they are so trusting towards him.“If I became a monster today, and decided to kill them, one by one, they would become aware only after most of the flock had been slaughtered, thought the boy. They trust me, and they’ve forgotten how to rely on their own instincts, because I lead them to nourishment.” they symbolize people like the crystal merchant and the baker who do not pursue their own…
