The Stock Market Challenge For this topic we were set a task to submit a report that aims to analyse and evaluate the financial performance of an organisation we each individually chose for the stock market challenge. To begin with I chose the company Glencore to invest £100,000 in. It is said that Glencore is one of the world’s largest diversified natural resource companies, producing and marketing over 90 commodities, with a network that spans more than 50 countries and around 181,000 people so I thought this would be the perfect company to invest the money into. As a few days went by, I had been researching more about Glencore to make sure i had made the right decision only to find out that Glencore has reported a deep first-half loss and trimmed its budget for capital expenditure for the rest of the year, blaming the sharp downturn in commodities prices. The group lost $676 million in the first half of 2015. It has also reduced its capex budget for 2015 to $6 billion, from a previous range of $6.5 billion to $6.8 billion. Glencore 's shares have been the worst performer in the FTSE 100 this year to date, slumping 42.7 per cent. The company 's stock market value is now £22.5 billion, and down more than £20 billion since last October. Glencore was valued at upon completing its takeover of mining rival Xstrata in May 2013. Mr Glasenberg, the South African-born tycoon who owns 8 per cent of Glencore, has blamed the share price fall on mining rivals overproducing…

Also allowed by this act the ability for the cia to spy on american citizens (Ten Big). However sentors Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy were holding up the passing og the patriot act because they realized it would suspend the…

diminishing of mandatory minimum sentences. The war on drugs started in the 1970’s by none other than President Richard Nixon. He stated that “[a]merica’s public enemy number one in the United States is drug abuse. To fight and defeat this enemy, it is necessary to wage a new, all-out offensive (Sharp, 1994, p.1).” However, in a July 2015 press release Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) stated a very different outlook on the war on drugs when he was approached by a Georgetown Law School student with…

Americans question whether their information is protected on social media sites. From these studies, it can be concluded that purchasing products online or creating social media accounts comes with a steep price--one’s privacy. In February of 2012, the Consumer Bill of Rights, proposed by President Obama, was introduced. The goal was for individuals to gain control of their information held by commercial companies. Currently, the bill has failed to pass. Without it, advertising companies and…

Leonardo DiCaprio speaking Shakespearean dialogue, love or lust, and illegal drugs, become a strange product when put together, but are the base of Luhrmann’s film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. The adaptation Romeo + Juliet is a film adaptation of Shakespeare’s original, but set in a modern day Miami like city. The characters use guns instead of swords, but still speak in Shakespearean English. This film’s modernization of everything except the dialogue caused it to be misunderstood. However,…

Blaustein entertained himself with professional wrestling, traveling across the country to film would-be grapplers on their way up. The film also includes former superstars on the skids and legends on their way out. Blaustein’s film is sincere; everything else is up for grabs. Blaustein leaves the footage to draw conclusions and assign significance, always returning to his own question: What kind of man makes a living running another man 's head against a turnbuckle? All kinds, the film argues,…
