Efficient Market Theory
.... and bond sales to take advantage of “ insider” information, sales of stocks and bonds will not depress prices, and companies cannot “cook the books” to artificially manipulate stock and bond prices. However, information technology and market dynamics are based upon the workings of ordinary people and diverse organizations, neither of which are arguably efficient nor consistent. Therefore, we have the basic contradiction of EMT: How can a theory based on objective mechanical efficiency hold up when applied to subjective human inefficiency?
As a case in point, America Online (AOL) offers a classic example of how investors can b .....

Economics: Foreign Trade
.... and international competitiveness.
The first reason is the fact that interest rates on existing debt are high as well as the fact that we don't save enough, adds a considerable cost onto the final debt. Higher interest rates drive us further into debt than we began with, leading to a greater debt.

Social Security: Problem And Solution
.... For instance, and perhaps the simplest, is to invest the funds into a money-market account, which will on average receive 1-1 1/2% more interest than a traditional savings account. From the time the average American starts working - say 16 or 17 - till the time he retires, there will be a lot of money that has accumulated in this account. Another option is a tax-sheltered annuity. This is an option available to anyone - as long as they have an investment broker - to take a certain amount of money from their paycheck, tax free, and have it invested and re-in! vested in stocks and bonds.

Tariffs And Trade Restrictions To Save Jobs
.... on each unit of an imported commodity. Quotas are a numerical limit on the annual quantity of particular imports. A more subtle form of protectionism is the minimum quality standard. In the generally rare cases in which the market cannot regulate product quality on its own, the government is justified in establishing such standards. However, this can be abused by requiring imports to meet higher and costlier standards than their domestic counterparts.
