Alston Religion 212 Strayer University White Marsh Campus March 18, 2013 Religious Field Research Religion may be defined as a way of life. Religion has a variety of features. This is why often misconceptions of some religions are formed. Normally through observations and research some of the misconceptions may be corrected. Recently, I interviewed two Muslims that are married they were both converted into the Islam religion. They both have been living as Muslims for over 20 years. After our interview, I had a better understanding of the Islam religion. The religion is Islam. A person that consciously follows Islam is called a Muslim. One major misconception that I had about the Islam followers is that they were confrontational. I have always viewed the Muslims as a group of aggressive people that communicated with their fist. I also thought that they only socialized amongst each other. However, I was wrong. Islam comes from the Arabic root word meaning “peace” and submission”. Islam teaches that an Islam follower can only find peace by submitting to Allah through the heart and soul. Allah is the Almighty God, God the Creator, the Compassionate and the Sustainer. “Salaam Alaykum” a term that is used amongst Muslims which means peace be with you. The Islam religion guides towards practical ways of achieving righteousness and eliminating evil from individual/s lives...

...vemos que la estrategia de Walmart es mantener los costos de producción lo más bajos posibles, para de la misma manera, mantener los precios de ventas menos elevados que la competencia. Esto se ve reflejado en su lema “Precios bajos todos los días”. Por otra parte, Sears optó por una reorientación de su mezcla de productos, para aumentar las ventas apelando a una clientela objetivo de clase media, es decir, busca diferenciarse en términos de exclusividad. Esto se ve reflejado en el lema: “Venga y vea el lado más elegante de Sears”. La segunda diferencia tiene que ver con las facilidades de pago, específicamente, el crédito. Por una parte Sears administra su propia tarjeta de crédito, en cambio la tarjeta de Wal-Mart era emitida por el Chase Manhattan Bank y el riesgo de no pago era asumido por el mismo. Esto afecta los resultados de ambas empresas, por un lado Sears maneja las cuentas por cobrar como ventas, las que puede se las vende a terceros, donde ellos asumen el cobro de ellas, y las restantes las asume Sears como intereses retenidos en su balance general, aumentando sus activos. Como vemos en el Anexo 9, Wal-Mart, por su externalización del crédito no cuenta con intereses retenidos por cuentas por cobrar en su balance general, lo...

The IRAC method will address I - Issue, R - Rule, A - Analysis, and C - Conclusion which will provide a researched assessment of the trading loss violations on this case. Please read and review this analysis of the case utilizing IRAC method of case analysis. Issue JP Morgan Chase permitted traders in its London office to allocate magnified values to transactions and cover up huge losses as they continued to explode. Two traders could face criminal charges for fabricating records to cover up losses. JP Morgan’s charge to the $6 billion oversight in trading loss is the first for a main company since the Securities and Exchange Commission revised its practice of letting firms pay fines without admitting fault. An admission by JPMorgan could provide a pattern for pursuing other admissions in Wall Street cases. The Justice Department is aggressive in getting JPMorgan to admit that from 2005 to 2007, it sold mortgage securities to investors without fully warning of the risks. By wanting the bank to admit some responsibility, officials hope it will caution other corporations to double check before taking...

...On Friday, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and other banks will be among the first big US corporations to report earnings. The financial sector has recorded some of the largest increases in estimated growth since the start of the quarter. Analysts now expect the financial sector to post a 20% increase on the bottom line, according to Factset. Most of that comes from upward revision activity for JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America (BAC), the two largest contributors to the financial sector. The current environment plays right into the hands of financial institutions. Rising rates, tax reform, and volatile markets are all tailwinds for earnings which depend on net interest margins and revenue from trading activity. But it’s possible these factors have already been baked into share prices and anything short of triple-digit growth will punish the sector. The market’s response is just as important as the actual report and will set the tone for the rest of earnings...

...STOCK VALUATION – Bank of America & JP Morgan Chase The 1997 Asian financial crisis made several economic concepts clear: (1) a nation's financial sector is a critical aspect of its macroeconomic stability; and (2) financial systems are important for maintaining order in the international financial sector. Some experts have stated that the 2014 outlook of the global economy is very positive. However, these same experts also clarified their statements, making it clear that risks are still present. There is a prognosis that there will be volatility in 2014. The implementation of financial market reform policies has been good, but these markets have not yet reached the level where reforms need to be. Therefore, a major reform in the financial sector is now necessary in all parts of the world. Haruhiko Kuroda, Bank of Japan Governor, said that the Japanese economy is doing well; this is due to the fiscal stimulus, monetary easing and structural reforms. He believes that a 2% interest rate is achievable in 2 years. He is optimistic, because the United States (US) economy will grow and Europe is recovering. That is a good sign that economies will grow and accelerate. But he also talked about the fact that there are some possible risks ahead. (Huroda, 2014) Wolfgang Schäuble, Federal Minister of Finance of Germany, stated that the euro is becoming more stable every day. He also said that the Eurozone performed much better than expected.
