Are debit cards connected to funds in your bank?

If you really received it from on your bank, yes of activated. If you purchased at a store, or received in the mail, no, that is prepaid, which is sometimes safer especially when your shopping online. They can only take what you choose to put on that card. They are also reusable, & just about everyone accepts Visa, or Mastercard.


Foreign Currency Convertible Bond?

A type of convertible bond issued in a currency different than the issuer's domestic currency. In other words, the money being raised by the issuing company is in the form of a foreign currency. A convertible bond is a mix between a debt and equity instrument. It acts like a bond by making regular coupon and principal payments, but these bonds also give the bondholder the option to convert the bond into stock. These types of bonds are attractive to both investors and issuers. The investors receive the safety of guaranteed payments on the bond and are also able to take advantage of any large price appreciation in the company's stock. (Bondholders take advantage of this appreciation by means warrants attached to the bonds, which are activated when the price of the stock reaches a certain point.) Due to the equity side of the bond, which adds value, the coupon payments on the bond are lower for the company, thereby reducing its debt-financing costs.


How did the British Navigation Acts effect Dutch shipping?

The Dutch at the time had the largest merchant fleet of all Europe and were the premier shippers of any bulk goods between any countries in Europe. England's Navigation act - activated solely to give a boost to English shipping and commerce - dictated that from now on, any goods shipped to or from England could only be transported by an English ship or by a ship of the other country concerned in producing or buying the goods in the ship. Since no other European country (except for the Dutch) had a merchant fleet to speak of, this meant that any trade to and from England would effectively be serviced by only English ships. This again meant that the Dutch in one stroke lost a large part of their market: even if only part of a cargo was meant for England, the English claimed exclusivity for that trade, too. The Navigation Act led first to massive lay-offs in the major (all harbor) cities of the Dutch Republic and to four consecutive wars between Holland and Britain which in sports terms led to two wins, one loss and a draw in favour of the British.


What are the drawbacks in commodity futures trading?

The main disadvantages are:1. Leverage. Can be a disadvantage if it encourages trading with too high a risk for a particular strategy. A carefully devised money management plan is essential.2. Overtrading. The instant nature of electronic futures trading coupled with low commission costs and tight spreads can encourage a trader to take additional trades to those determined by their trading plan.******ADDITIONAL ANSWER******Futures are more expensive to start with than Options, but Futures also make you more of a profit. Rich people have been investing in futures and options forever, and most people don't realize that you can do it as well with a relatively small investment.The best way to increase your possible profit, and limit your losses is to use the "straddle" method. This is where you bet the price will go up as well as down. You will lose one way, but win on the other. Also, it doesn't matter to you if the price goes up or down, because you can make money on either one. To do this effectively, when you place your order with the broker (which should be between 10AM-12PM EST or 2PM-3:30PM EST), make sure you say: *EXAMPLE* "I want to buy the November Crude oil future at 5105 and sell the December Crude Oil future at 5095." "I also want a stop-loss on EACH position 50 points from entry." Once the price moves 60 points+ in either direction, call your broker back IMMEDIATELY and tell them "I want to place a trailing stop loss on my Daily US Light Crude open position activated at 60 points above open and trailing by 10 points."This now ensures that you can not lose money, but only break even worst case scenario. You gain 50 points one direction, you lose 50 points the other, and the remaining 10 points will cover the broker's fees for the trades. If you are watching the market closely, you should be able to decide when is a good time to unload and make an easy profit. Hopefully this helps. Good luck, and Happy Trading!


How many phases does a trade cycle consist?

Business Cycle (or Trade Cycle) is divided into the following four phases :-Prosperity Phase : Expansion or Boom or Upswing of economy.Recession Phase : from prosperity to recession (upper turning point).Depression Phase : Contraction or Downswing of economy.Recovery Phase : from depression to prosperity (lower turning Point).The business cycle starts from a trough (lower point) and passes through a recovery phase followed by a period of expansion (upper turning point) and prosperity. After the peak point is reached there is a declining phase of recession followed by a depression. Again the business cycle continues similarly with ups and downs.. Prosperity PhaseWhen there is an expansion of output, income, employment, prices and profits, there is also a rise in the standard of living. This period is termed as Prosperity phase.The features of prosperity are :-High level of output and trade.High level of effective demand.High level of income and employment.Rising interest rates.Inflation.Large expansion of bank credit.Overall business optimism.A high level of MEC (Marginal efficiency of capital) and investment.Due to full employment of resources, the level of production is Maximum and there is a rise in GNP (Gross National Product). Due to a high level of economic activity, it causes a rise in prices and profits. There is an upswing in the economic activity and economy reaches its Peak. This is also called as a Boom Period.2. Recession PhaseThe turning point from prosperity to depression is termed as Recession Phase.During a recession period, the economic activities slow down. When demand starts falling, the overproduction and future investment plans are also given up. There is a steady decline in the output, income, employment, prices and profits. The businessmen lose confidence and become pessimistic (Negative). It reduces investment. The banks and the people try to get greater liquidity, so credit also contracts. Expansion of business stops, stock market falls. Orders are cancelled and people start losing their jobs. The increase in unemployment causes a sharp decline in income and aggregate demand. Generally, recession lasts for a short period.3. Depression PhaseWhen there is a continuous decrease of output, income, employment, prices and profits, there is a fall in the standard of living and depression sets in.The features of depression are :-Fall in volume of output and trade.Fall in income and rise in unemployment.Decline in consumption and demand.Fall in interest rate.Deflation.Contraction of bank credit.Overall business pessimism.Fall in MEC (Marginal efficiency of capital) and investment.In depression, there is under-utilization of resources and fall in GNP (Gross National Product). The aggregate economic activity is at the lowest, causing a decline in prices and profits until the economy reaches its Trough (low point).4. Recovery PhaseThe turning point from depression to expansion is termed as Recovery or Revival Phase.During the period of revival or recovery, there are expansions and rise in economic activities. When demand starts rising, production increases and this causes an increase in investment. There is a steady rise in output, income, employment, prices and profits. The businessmen gain confidence and become optimistic (Positive). This increases investments. The stimulation of investment brings about the revival or recovery of the economy. The banks expand credit, business expansion takes place and stock markets are activated. There is an increase in employment, production, income and aggregate demand, prices and profits start rising, and business expands. Revival slowly emerges into prosperity, and the business cycle is repeated.Thus we see that, during the expansionary or prosperity phase, there is inflation and during the contraction or depression phase, there is a deflation.

What part does Activation Energy play on the catalyst cycle?

This obeys to the theory of absolute reaction rates or transition state theory, developed by Henry Eyring in the 1930s. This is a theory of chemical kinetics according to which the velocity of a chemical reaction is proportional to the concentration of and activated complex that is formed from the reactants. The reactants must be activated by means of an activation energy to form the activated complex before they can be converted into products. The activated complex is a transient state; an unstable complex held together by weak bonds. Therefore, the activation energy, according to this theory, is crucial to form the activation complex to be converted into products.
