What do you think of my college essay? Specific advice as well as general commentary is helpful.? Prompt: Our students are widely known to possess a sense of intellectual vitality. Tell us about an idea or an experience you have had that you find intellectually engaging. I was first introduced to the stock market by my father. He liked to talk to me about how his portfolio was doing; even though I understood little of what he said. At the time, (I must have been in 6th or 7th grade) the stock market failed to capture my interest. I didn’t understand what made the market work, or even why it was needed. For some time, I was perfectly content to live in ignorance. Early in my freshmen year, I overheard some students at my high school talking about how they were going to make a fortune by trading in stocks. They used several terms I didn’t know, and I went home that day determined to expand my knowledge on the subject. My first resource on the stock market was the internet. After a few days of research, I had a rudimentary grasp on the principles behind the stock market. I learned that price was dependent on how highly investors value a company. I learned about initial public offerings, and why stocks existed in the first place. Most importantly, I realized that the stock market could be beaten by using superior logic. It wasn’t long after I discovered the stock market that I decided to try my hand at it. One of the sites that I had gotten information from also happened to have a fantasy stock market game. I joined, and bought my initial portfolio; which consisted of three familiar companies. The next day, I rushed home after school to see how I did—all three stocks were up. All I could think about was that I had been right three times out of three. My exuberance was short lived. By about a month into the simulation (and many trades later) I was down substantially. To me, being down in the simulation only meant that I had to learn more before I could win. I began reading books on the market and started following it every day. Now, in my senior year, I am up over 90% in the simulation. The stock market has become one of my favorite concepts to think, read, and theorize about.

Please contribute your views? Does investment in INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS double the wealth in the economy? For example say A has Rs.10,000 and he buys IPO's of say RELIANCE INDUSTRIES for total Rs. 10,000 i.e 1000 shares @ Rs 10 per share. and lets say the Market value of the shares are the same. Thus, A's wealth is Rs 10,000. Now when RELIANCE INDUSTRIES buys a land from say B for 10,000 then B's wealth will be Rs. 10,000. Thus, total wealth generated will be A's wealth of 10,000 + B's wealth of Rs. 10,000 = Rs 20,000. Thus, INVESTMENT in IPO's of a PUBLIC COMPANY has the same effect as credit expansion, only the difference is that here wealth is multiplied. Is my conclusion and interpretation correct?

Could I become a millionaire by age 21 or 22 by investing into IPOs? I am 17 years old and so far I have £3,300 saved up. I am going to wait until I turn aged 18 to invest into the stock market. I like the idea of IPOs (Initial Public Offerings). I intend to make maybe £20,000 if I can by the time it's 2010 and the IPO market is back in business. I will definitely find a way to make the £20,000 by 2010, theres a solution to everything I believe. I want to invest into IPOs when they are back in business in hopefully 2010 which is when they say they will be. If I invest successfully IPO after IPO from around age 18 to age 22, could I possibly become a millionaire by then if my money, even if gradually a little bit duplicates as I invest into some IPOs? Please give a reasonable answer to earn 5 star best answer.

Can someone please explain to me what this means? American International Group, Inc. Tuesday said it closed two transactions with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York that will reduce its debt to the government by $25 billion and position two units for spinoff or sale. AIG said its outstanding debt with the New York Fed now stands at $17 billion, down from $42 billion, excluding interest and fees. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704107104574569250847894362.html#articleTabs%3Darticle AIG has positioned AIA for an IPO or third-party sale. AIG said the placement of its holdings in American International Assurance Company and American Life Insurance Company in special purpose vehicles will position the units for initial public offerings or third-party sales. If AIA has already been positioned for sale why did they not just sell it? What did the Fed use to valuate these two entities?

Do you think you know Larry Silverstein? Read it and tell me about your opinion.? Larry Silverstein is the New York property tycoon who purchased the entire WTC complex just 6 months prior to the 9/11 attacks. That was the first time in its 33-year history the complex had EVER changed ownership. Mr. Silverstein’s first order of business as the new owner was to change the company responsible for the security of the complex. The new security company he hired was Securacom (now Stratasec). George W. Bush's brother, Marvin Bush, was on its board of directors, and Marvin’s cousin, Wirt Walker III, was its CEO. According to public records, not only did Securacom provide electronic security for the World Trade Center, it also covered Dulles International Airport and United Airlines — two key players in the 9/11 attacks. The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp., also linked for many years to the Bush family. KuwAm has been linked to the Bush family financially since the Gulf War. One of its principals and a member of the Kuwaiti royal family, Mishal Yousef Saud al Sabah, served on the board of Stratesec. Now, consider: The members of a small cabal owned the WTC complex, controlled its electronic security, and also controlled the security not only for one of the airlines whose aircraft were hijacked on 9/11, but the airport from which they originated. Another little “coincidence” -- Mr. Silversten, who made a down-payment of $124 million on this $3.2 billion complex, promptly insured it for $7 Billion. Not only that, he covered the complex against “terrorist attacks”. Following the attacks, Silverstein filed TWO insurance claims for the maximum amount of the policy ($7B), based on the two -- in Silverstein's view -- separate attacks. The insurance company, Swiss Re, paid Mr. Silverstein $4.6 Billion — a princely return on a relatively paltry investment of $124 million. There’s more. You see, the World Trade Towers were not the real estate plum we are led to believe. From an economic standpoint, the trade center -- subsidized since its inception by the NY Port Authority -- has never functioned, nor was it intended to function, unprotected in the rough-and-tumble real estate marketplace. How could Silverstein Group have been ignorant of this? The towers required some $200 million in renovations and improvements, most of which related to removal and replacement of building materials declared to be health hazards in the years since the towers were built. It was well-known by the city of New York that the WTC was an asbestos bombshell. For years, the Port Authority treated the building like an aging dinosaur, attempting on several occasions to get permits to demolish the building for liability reasons, but being turned down due the known asbestos problem. Further, it was well-known the only reason the building was still standing until 9/11 was because it was too costly to disassemble the twin towers floor by floor since the Port Authority was prohibited legally from demolishing the buildings. The projected cost to disassemble the towers: $15 Billion. Just the scaffolding for the operation was estimated at $2.4 Billion! In other words, the Twin Towers were condemned structures. How convenient that an unexpected “terrorist” attack demolished the buildings completely. WTC Building 7 was a part of the WTC complex, and covered under the same insurance policy. This 47-storey steel-framed structure, which was NOT struck by an aircraft, mysteriously collapsed 8 hours later that same day into its own footprint at freefall speed — exactly in the manner of the Twin Towers. How could this have happened? Mr. Silverstein gave the world the answer when he slipped up during a PBS television interview a year later, on 9/11/2002: "I remember getting a call from the...er...fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse." As anyone who knows anything about construction can tell you, “Pull” is common industry jargon for a controlled demolition. One thing is for sure, the decision to 'pull' WTC 7 would have delighted many people. Especially because it has been reported that thousands of sensitive files relating to some of the biggest financial scams in history — including Enron and WorldCom -- were stored in the offices of some of the building’s tenants: * US Secret Service * NSA * CIA * IRS * BATF * SEC * NAIC Securities * Salomon Smith Barney * American Express Bank International * Standard Chartered Bank * Provident Financial Management * ITT Hartford Insurance Group * Federal Home Loan Bank The Securities and Exchange Commission has not quantified the number of active cases in which substantial files were destroyed by the collapse of WTC 7. Reuters news service and the Los Angeles Times published reports estimating them at 3,000 to 4,000. They include the agency's major inquiry into the manner in which investment banks divvied up hot shares of initial public offerings during the high-tech boom. ..."Ongoing investigations at the New York SEC will be dramatically affected because so much of their work is paper-intensive," said Max Berger of New York's Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann. "This is a disaster for these cases." Citigroup says some information that the committee is seeking [about WorldCom] was destroyed in the Sept. 11 terror attack on the World Trade Center. Salomon had offices in 7 World Trade Center. The bank says that back-up tapes of corporate emails from September 1998 through December 2000 were stored at the building and destroyed in the attack. Inside WTC 7 was the US Secret Service's largest field office with more than 200 employees. "All the evidence that we stored at 7 World Trade, in all our cases, went down with the building," according to US Secret Service Special Agent David Curran. What a neat, complete, and fortuitous turn of events was 9/11. Incidentally, it’s worth noting that one of Lucky Larry’s closest friends — a person with whom it’s said he speaks almost daily by phone — is none other than former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
