Determine two to three (2-3) methods of using stocks and options to create a risk-free hedge portfolio I found the research of this question to be extremely interesting. The simplest form of purchasing securities in order to reduce portfolio risk is hedging. These securities are intended to have negative correlation to the remainder of our portfolio so that it can help offset any other potential losses in our portfolio. We can hedge by buying a put option. We can buy stock with one put option with

resistant pathogens through horizontal gene transfer. Located in the bacteria are plasmids. They are independent‚ self-duplicating‚ and allow bacteria to perform new functions/generate new products. Basically plasmids help their hosts to stop the action of antibiotics and become resistant. “Gene transfer must be integral and critical to the overall survival of bacteria‚ providing a way for them to adapt to difficult conditions” (Levy 2002‚ 83). Horizontal gene transfer can occur through conjugation

There’s something in all of us: the desire to do something with our lives. Unfortunately‚ most of has have learned to suppress that desire so much that we’re not even aware of it anymore. We fill our lives with so many activities that there’s just no time anymore to do something meaningful and there are good reasons for doing this. The first is that we often don’t even know what we’re supposed to do with our lives. While we have a clear idea as children we often get discouraged because what we

Something that is always brought up is‚¨do we control our destiny or does your destiny choose you?¨ Well folks the answer is very simple. I am going to summarize two stories that talk about how much we control our destiny. People have also been talking about this concept for many centuries too. The first story I am going to talk about is the Sport Gene. The story begins with a college student named Thomas who is bet that he cant jump six foot six. Thomas successfully completes the bet and actually

In the novel One of Ours Cather illustrates World War 1 different then most. From the somewhat graphic descriptions of injuries and death to the calm village scenes to meditations on what it must have meant for so many young men to finally find meaning in their lives just when they were most at risk of losing everything. She often romanticized the war but at the same time she made it well balanced. She showed the war as a monstrous thing that was fought by decent-hearted people in defense of their

Gene therapy is being currently developed in labs across the world‚ with the goal of eventually being able to alter a person’s genetic make up effectively and consistently. If the subject has a missing or defective gene‚ scientists are able to inactivate the mutated gene and transplant a normal healthy one. Should the mutated gene be responsible for the lack of production to a particular protein‚ gene therapy may be able to restore normal function of the polypeptide and essential save the cell and

innovation and job creation occurs. But if you look more broadly at the impact of technology across every industry‚ it doesn’t look so great. Technology makes businesses more efficient‚ often by eliminating the need for repetitive tasks and the workers who do them. We are not replacing those jobs with enough new‚ higher-skilled ones to make up for the loss. So what we are seeing in the U.S. (most developed nation) over the past decade is productivity growth‚ without the job growth that usually comes with

Study guide for Ch 16-18 Chapter 16 • Alfred Hershey and Martha chase answered the question whether protein or DNA was the genetic material by using Bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria). o Bacteriaphages were good for the experiment because they only contain 2 organic compounds‚ DNA and protein. • James Watson and Francis Crick were the first to solve the structure (structure=function) of DNA. • X-ray crystallography( process used to visualize molecules in 3-D
