Same as with Canada which is where both my grandfathers came from. Let's see how many reasons I can come up with just off the top of my head and just for those two.
- They enjoyed the freedom of the First Amendment (speech, press, religion, assembly -- Canada has the same provision) that was not granted in the country they left. They never exercised those rights, I don't think, but their children and grandchildren did.
- They were free to raise their children so that they had the chance of being productive. My father was an MD, but he owed that piece of good fortune to his father. The country from which they came would never have allowed him to get all that education.
- They were able to eventually bring their wives and children with them. There was enough money to be made, even at jobs that didn't pay much, to bring them across the Atlantic.
- They were able, once the families were here, to turn their attention to bettering their conditions. They never became rich, but no one starved either. That's more than could be said about those relatives who didn't do as they did.
- They were free to travel. They didn't do that, but their children and especially their grandchildren did. That too was very limited where they came from.
- They had medical care and good medical care which was not given to just anyone where they came from.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": Spreading risk by investing your money in a variety of funds and investment options.
Explanation:
Portfolios are <em>pools of different assets that aim lowering the risk inherent in investments</em>. Portfolios tend to be managed by professional who work on behalf of investors an can provide suggestions on what assets to buy and sell according to the fluctuations of the market.
Answer:
Put options give the holder the right to sell the underlying stock to the seller of the put option.
Put options are advantageous when the price in the market falls below the strike price of the option because the buyer will be able to sell at above market value and make a profit.
The asking price for a strike price of $9.00 is listed to be $0.33 and this is the premium paid by the buyer of the Put Option.
<h2>
1. Return if stock sells for $8.00</h2>
= Amount received/ Amount spent
= (No. of shares * ((Strike price - Market price) - Premium paid) ) / (No. of share * premium)
= (2,300 shares * (($9.00 - 8.00) - 0.33))/ ( 2,300 * 0.33)
= 2.03
= 203 %
<h2>
2. Return if stock sells for $10.00. </h2>
As this is an option, the investor can decide not to sell to the seller. The market price is higher than the strike price so they will not sell to the seller of the option and the return will be;
= (No. of shares * - Premium paid) ) / (No. of share * premium)
= (2,300 shares * - 0.33)/ ( 2,300 * 0.33)
= -1
= -100 %
