# Preparing to answer this question requires a 2-step preparation: assessing your skills and researching the needs of the company. An integral part of skill assessment (looking at your own experience, education and talents) is to 'skill-match'. Considering the job opening, what are the skills needed? Make a list of the requisite skills (in priority order) and then list concrete examples of your possession of the skill. For example: a sales representative would need good interpersonal skills, the ability to deal with difficult people. For 'proof' of this skill, you could list experiences and examples of how you were successful in a difficult situation. These matched skills are your key selling points. Next, what appears to be the current problems at the organization, based upon your research? What are their needs that you can meet? In other words, given the specifics of the company, what value can you add? After these two steps, you are in a great position to come up with concrete examples of what you can offer the company. This question, by the way, is just another version of "Why should we hire you?". In the interview, when asked this question, you could respond with: "In my experience in sales, I know having the ability to deal effectively with all types of people is not merely a positive element - it is an essential one. With your plans to expand into ____ market, a sales representative with a proven ability to meet with all types of people and to be able to assess and meet their immediate needs would be a great asset. In the past __ years, I have increased sales __… .."

Yes, they can. There are no restrictions as to who can be a nominee for a bank account. Any valid customer for a bank or their relatives/family members can be a nominee. In case of company's or institutions, they themselves are the nominees for their deposits.

The Glass-Steagall Act, enacted in 1933, primarily aimed to separate commercial banking from investment banking to reduce risks and conflicts of interest in the financial system. It established regulations that prohibited banks from engaging in both activities, thereby protecting consumer deposits from the volatility associated with securities trading. The act was largely repealed in 1999, leading to discussions about its relevance in the context of the 2008 financial crisis, as many argued the repeal contributed to increased risk in the banking sector.

M cap refers to Market capitalization.

This refers to the total value of all the outstanding stocks of a company.

Let us say there are 100,000 shares of XYZ company in the market. The value of each share is $5 then the market cap of XYZ company is $500,000

It really depends on what your goals are, as I see it (having done research before and, about to start some more research), below are the main goals or drivers of topic selection:

1. Career goals

2. Interests and passions

3. Academic achievement

You need to think about which one of these is the most important, for example, if career goals is your key motivation, then you simply pick a topic that is highly relevant to what you want to do e.g. if you want to work on capital raising then do an IPO study, if you want to be a trader or work in a hedge fund do something on developing and analysing trading strategies, if you want to work in M&A do a study on M&A... etc. On the interests side - it really pays to be interested in what you're doing because that will help keep you motivated. And of course if academic achievement is your goal (i.e. I would consider the height of academic achievement being getting your research published) then you'll need to choose a topic that is likely to be publishable, i.e. something that hasn't been done before (a new approach, a new dataset, etc)... and of course it's a good idea to talk to professors at your school as they may have some ideas.

To be fair, the best way to invest $15,000 dollars for one year depends on one's risk profile. If one cannot lose money during the year, generally no transacton-fee, stable, short-term income-producing products are the most appropriate. Some of these products include the following:

* Short-term TIPS (Treasury Inflaction Protected Securities, provide principal protection against inflation that may reduce the buying power of the principal; value of TIPS may go down in a deflationary environment)

* CDs (interest is not always that great, but the principal is protected)

* High-yield money market funds (interest is usually higher than short-term CDs; however, there is a slight risk to the principal - generally the risk is considered moot)

* Short-term municipal bonds (from municipalities with A+ credit ratings; these products are good for investors in higher tax brackets looking to earn incremental tax-free income; these are riskier that HYMMs, but produce more income; there may be transaction fees to buy and sell these products)

If one's risk profile is higher and the chance that some (or all) of the money may be lost is acceptable, some products that may be worthwhile include the following:

* ETFs (exchange traded funds; generally the least expensive way to expose a portfolio to market risks and rewards; there will be transaction and maintenance fees for these products)

* No Load Mutual Funds (professionally managed funds with low or no loads to purchase, maintain or sell shares; select diversified NLMFs; there may be transaction fees to purchase the products - going direct to the fund manager cuts out those fees)

Buying stocks, commodities, etc. on an individual basis expose the average investor to more risk than diversified funds and create transaction cost "friction" that may eat any future returns.

Please consult your financial planner for specific advice relative to your unique situation.

The traditional answer is that they provide liquidity and stability in the market so that buyers and sellers can make transactions at all times and in varying quantities at fair-market determined prices.

The new answer is that they can also create instabilities in the marketplace (programmed trading, as one example) that crash all trading. They can also create unfair trading practices (insider trading, as one example) which bias the market against legitimate buyers and sellers through price manipulations.

NPV is not that flexible and only uses information available at the time of the decision. It does not account for changes to the projects after the initial decision is made. NPV factors in risk by using a single discount rate, but in reality choices in the future concerning the project will likely change its payoffs and risk. Try real option analysis instead if you want to get around this problem.

NPV only evaluates tangible and quantifiable projects. Some projects with negative NPVs are carried out anyway because they have some kind of strategic value, eg. it shows the firm in a good light, builds goodwill or allows access to as yet unknown earnings in the future.
