As I went through the mall this past week I couldn't believe the number of young people teaming in the malls and stores just wandering around aimlessly looking for something to do.

DNA carries traits from parents to child, and then to the child's children.

- ... or custodial fees associated with frequent buying and selling. I also believe that prices are reflective of all information that is relevant to that securities valuation. We studied in chapters 4, 5, 6 of Fabozzi's Investment Management that we can capture returns similar to that of our benchmark by using securities with characteristics similar to your benchmark. Characteristics of similarity range from market sector, company size, yield to maturity, and the riskiness of the asset. Since the pension fund is in the growth stage of its life and the benchmark the class would be comparing their returns to is the S&P 500, my asset selection consisted of the given 25 common stocks, 4 mutual funds, and currency. In addition to these I purchased 4 more stocks three of which are still in the portfolio (see ... top 1,000 pension funds in 1991 consisted of only 45% equity opposed to my 90+%.

- A Comparison of "Of Mice and Men" and "The Great Depression An Eyewitness History" The Great Depression is comparable to Lennie and George's life. I would like to give a comparison of George Milton and Lennie Small to the Great Depression. The time that this story took place was during the Great Depression. John Steinbeck captured the reality ... reason the stock market crashed was because farms were not producing enough goods. People started to work on farms more to help everyone. Lennie and George worked for ranches and also in the fields. "He's a good skinner. He can rassel grain bags, drive a cultivator. He can do anything." (Of Mice and Men p.22).

I want for my super an I tol him I want nanan to cook me som okra an rice an som pok chop an a conbred an som claba” (232). Jefferson still enjoys his aunt’s cooking, an outside pleasure from prison. The fact that he can still take pleasure from these small outside things clearly demonstrates that Jefferson enjoys a small victory over the world that has locked him away.
