Horizon

Choosing to participate in the market can be daunting on its own. Prior to evaluating your investment options, you should first determine your investment horizon, investable assets, risk tolerance and financial goals. Clearly defining your investment goals will help you determine an investment strategy best suited for you, and sometimes steer you to certain assets. When building your portfolio, you have likely run a cross two popularly referenced labels; growth stocks and dividend stocks. While…

An evidence-based decision making process may have very well resulted in a different outcome of the Deepwater Horizon tragedy that we know today. An evidence-based decision making process would have allowed the situation to be accessed by all parties. It also would have allowed them to come together before the decision was made. However, this is not what occurred in BP and Transocean’s decision. Despite there was data available, they did not understand the data and ultimately made the…

risk horizon one would like to generate from a given sample data. For i.i.d(independent identical distribution) returns, based on the statistical knowledge (Jorion:1997), the measurement to forecast the parameter in equation 1.3.1 is, μ=μ_(unit period)*T Equation 1.4 σ=σ_(unit period)*√T Equation 1.5 and for correlated multi-period returns, V(∑_(i=1)^T▒R_(t+i) )=σ^2 [T+2(T-1)ρ+2(T-2) ρ^2+⋯+2(1) ρ^(T-1)] Equation 1.6 Where T represents units of period (risk horizon…

significantly hit by the light from the horizon. The clouds on the other-hand shows a very strong cast shadow on the water that is being created by the natural lighting being cast down from above the city in the horizon.…

Discovering One’s Euphoria Various literary novels embody the notion of symbolic language. Symbolism can evoke striking feelings and communicate prominent ideas through its abstract language. A profound author, Zora Neale Hurston, known for her use of symbolism in the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, conveys symbols to communicate the experiences of a beautiful yet determined black woman, Janie Crawford. Janie seeks to find her spirit, her euphoria, and her perception of self-recognition and…

General relativity is fundamentally incompatible with quantum mechanics- they have been at odds with each other since its discovery in 1915- relativity breaks down at the subatomic level and vice versa. A conjecture by two physicists may finally reconcile relativity with quantum mechanics and put an end to the chain of inconsistencies began by Hawking’s information paradox. Albert Einstein first discussed the concept of quantum entanglement in a 1935 paper co-written with his colleagues Boris…

In a recent NASA blog post, Kelsi Singer, a researcher at Southwest Research Institute working on NASA’s New Horizons, goes over an interesting discovery made about Pluto: It seems to have a near infinite supply of nitrogen. Pluto is Gassy The most recent images returned by New Horizons shows that Pluto’s surface is mostly composed of nitrogen, just like Earth’s. There is; however, about a 20 percent difference in composition; Earth’s atmosphere is around ~78 percent nitrogen while Pluto’s is…

questions which lead to Zetetic Astronomy or more commonly known as the Flat Earth Theory. As people started to poke around they realized there is an abundance of proofs that disprove our supposed knowledge. From the supposed curvature to water and the horizon, to railroad tracks and airplanes all…

and revisionist western in its use of the traditional official hero vs outlaw hero dichotomy, as seen in the characters Fix It Felix Jr. and Wreck It Ralph, but also in its unconventional preference for the homestead and community rather than the horizon. Wreck It Ralph’s use of the official/outlaw hero dynamic is clearly laid out in the beginning of the movie, in which we see Felix being awarded with a medal by the Nicelanders after another successful day of work. They then all go into their…
