Being the founder of value investing Graham paved the way for a new era of economical strategy setting and planning which were carried forward by his students like Warren Buffett, Mario Gabelli, John Neff, Michael Price, and John Bogle and many others. Graham's books 'Security Analysis' and 'The Intelligent Investor' are regarded as immortal references for financial and economical experts, strategists and enthusiasts. Graham's books have been referred to by many economy proponents to help writing several other similar books. Even to the present day Graham's ideas and economical approaches are religiously followed and retained.

    This case provides us an insight into the Golden Years Investment Club and the conflict of group members when a newcomer challenges the views and ideas of the group’s experienced founder. Lenn Width, the founder of the investment club, has recently invited David Korn, a young architect, to join the twenty-six-member group. Width and Korn have very opposing viewpoints when it comes to how to invest. Width has a very strict investment policy: “a stock must have been publicly traded for at least five years; its sales must be growing by 15 percent a year; and it’s got to have a return on equity of 10 percent or better” (Fight at the Investment Club, 1994). On the other hand, Korn is interested in a more aggressive style, investing in riskier stocks with larger returns.…

    Problem #5 >>Answer Yes I believe the airline should accept a charter flight proposal from a group that offers to guarantee the sale of 90 seats over 250, because the risk varies highly because its only 90 seats and realistically those 90 seats will be a guaranteed buy opposed to 250. So it will be a great advantage to the airline to do that plus sales increase.…

    Irving Fisher was a very unique and brilliant man. He attended Yale University where he studied mathematics. He later used this background and applied it to economics, earning a PhD in economics, the first from Yale University. His study of mathematics played a crucial role in how his theories evolved. Almost all of his work involves mathematical computations to express the theories he devised. Fisher’s theories were revolutionary in the time period as a result, but his theories and legacy was tarnished due to one public statement in his career. He publicly announced right before the stock market crash of 1929 that the stock market had reached a “permanent plateau” and improvements were imminent. However, we know this never happened and he paid for it in both his career and his financial situation. It wasn’t until years later that people began to look back and realize Irving Fisher still had innovative theories and ideas.…

    Economics is the study of how society allocates scarce resources and goods. Resources are the inputs that society uses to produce output, called goods. Resources include inputs such as labor, capital, and land. Goods include products such as food, clothing, and housing as well as services such as those provided by barbers, doctors, and police officers. These resources and goods maybe be considered scarce because of society's tendency to demand more resources and goods than are available. Two of the major approaches in economics are called 1) classical and 2) Keynesian. Classical economists believe that markets function very well, will quickly react to any changes in equilibrium without much government policy. On the other hand, Keynesian economists believe that markets react very slowly to changes in equilibrium (especial to changes in prices) and that active government intervention is sometimes the best method to get the economy back into equilibrium.…

    Olives have been an important agricultural product in Spain for a long time. In "The Olive Industry of Spain," published in the April 1936 edition of the journal Economic Geography, the author, William E. Bull, outlines the history of olive oil production in Spain up to that point. The Romans encouraged the planting of olive orchards after their occupation of the Iberian Peninsula in 206 B.C. Although the olive industry decreased in production during the reign of the Visigoths, it became important again under Arab rule in the 8th century with new irrigation technology increasing the size of orchards. The promotion of the olive industry in the 19th century was advanced in 1884 when schools of olive cultivation were created. In 1898 Spain lost two of its colonies, Cuba and the Phillipines, resulting in a currency devalutation. At this time the government began to focus more attention on domestic issues and the Spanish olive oil industry began to gain importance on the world market. The following map shows that regions along the Mediterranean produced 99% of the world's olive in 1936, with particularly large areas of Spain devoted to olive production: Increased government intervention in the first decade of the 20th century in the form of 25 new laws regulating all aspects of olive oil production along with the appearance of finer grades of oil resulted in a huge increase in exports. By 1914, Spain had become one of the world’s greatest exporters of olive oil in the world. In 1924 the first "Oil Conference" was held in Madrid, resulting in the formation of the Federation of Olive Oil Exporters in Spain, which aimed to unify the nation's olive exports and increase business with foreign markets. In 1925 the National Association of Olive Growers was created in order "to protect the olive industry in all its technical, economic, and commercial aspects," [10]. The following map depicts olive production specifically…
