SCIENTIFIC INVESMENT
WHAT IS MEAN BY SCIENTIFIC INVESMENT?
Can investment analysis of common stocks be more effective by relying on so-called scientific or quantitative methods or on subjective intuitive methods? The quantitative method relieves the financial analyst from making the simpler investment "decision rules" by placing them in tables, charts, and computer programs. Evidence suggests that an intelligent use of quantitative techniques, strengthened by competent judgment, may offer fascinating rewards to investors.
FOR eg.,Energy Technology Investments Face Funding Cliff :
Funding for research and development in the U.S. is running up to a cliff. If sequestration kicks in on March 1, across-the-board cuts and a decade-long spending cap will go into effect. According to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), this would mean an 8.2% ($4.6 billion) cut in the Department of Energy’s R&D budget between now and 2017. These cuts could impact not only the Department’s national laboratories, but also universities and research programs around the country.
Looking at the numbers – the U.S. federal government typically spends $4-6 billion a year on energy RD&D. So, sequestration essentially means eliminating funding for one year out of the next five. While this amount is less than one-fifth of the more than $33 billion per year that the government spends on health research, it is no chump change. And, in invests in the basic research that fuels technological innovation. These funds support graduate students around the nation, and are the seed money for research, development, and demonstration projects that have impacts throughout the industry (for example lithium ion batteries and hydraulic fracturing).
On the private side, US energy firms reinvest a significant amount of money into technology development. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, global investment in renewables topped $268 billion in
