Investing 101

Stock:

This image makes me think of stock because it is always changing

Bond:     

It reminds of the fact that a bond is when you pay someone back later over a year

Primary and Secondary Market:

PRIMARY

Secondary

A saturday market reminds me of primary market because the thing being purchased is being sold

by who made it and at secondary markets such as a scuba shop its being sold by someone else

Bulls and Bears:

An escalator is like bulls and bears because one side will always go down and the other goes up

Selling Short

Stocks remind me of selling short because they change and when you buy them you have to eventually sell them to be safe

Franchise

Starbucks is an extremely well known company all over the world

Reflection of the economy

Option A

   Our government has continued on the same path as we were on when I graduated high school. From that result our national debt has tripled since then.I have had to work at two jobs so that I still have enough money to pay for my rent of my apartment and food as long with taxes that have to be payed every 3 months now.It's impossible to get a house now, even the rich can't get one.
   The president is always saying that it will get better but now even that has become a joke with everyone. Every day I try to save up money so that I can mabye have enough money some day to be able to move out of this country.We always used to talk about going to a different tax but people would always vote against it, I wish we would talk about it again cause I bet people would actually go for it now.

Manifesto 2.0

1. This is the way it ought to be for our government ought to be. Our government should provide money for things like medicare,army,and social security. Our government should provide less foreign aid so that we can focus more on our economy.
2.I support the way that  our federal government budget is spent.Our money is supplied a lot by our personal income and social security which is a good fund and we know that there will always be a supply of money into our federal budget.
3. A good amount of our federal budget  is spent on medicare, and social security which is good.I personally think we spend too much for defense.We should still spend money for defense but lower the amount some.We may want to put in more money for the other mandatory part of the budget.
4. I finished with a 4.1 trillion deficit. I cut away money on things like war spending and social security. I raised money for revenue and tax expenditures.For war spending estimates, I cut away 852 billion. For revenue I raised by 114 billion.
5.

I picked a bomb to represent my solution for the national debt. I cut away so much that my deficit was far from what it was originally. You could compare my cutting away at the deficit to a bomb exploding because when a bomb explodes it leaves an impact,and if my deficit was to actual become what we did it would leave an impact on our economy.

Taxes

Progressive Tax:
PRO:The progressive U.S tax codes makes it so that the wealthy must pay their fair share.The taxes are made so that everyone is being taxed based off of what they have.With progressive tax more jobs are available.
Con:With progressive tax there are a lot of loopholes that people could find a way out of paying the amount they should. Also we are depending a lot on the rich to pay their taxes for us to have money.
I don't agree with progressive tax
NST:
Pro: With Nst everything that everyone buys is taxed.With everything being taxed it would be an easy way to get money in to our economy.
Con: It might not be enough money to keep our economy to stay up if our only tax is on things that we buy. Also currently not every state has taxs and states that do have tax if people live close enough to a state that doesn't have a tax

The Big Picture!

Our government when coming up with our yearly budget should make a budget that will go into helping paying off our national debt. I think that we should get rid of the sequester. I feel that with its cuts, rather than helping the USA with our debt, it will make it get worse. With taxes from now on part of the tax should be put towards paying off our debt.

Also rather than helping out other countries with their debt, our government should focus more on ours.Our government needs to find a way to stop over spending by a billion every year.We need to find a way to stop that whether it's raising our taxes,or put in a sales tax for every state we need to find a solution. For me personally from now on when i'm voting I'm going to look at whether or not they have a plan to help the national debt

Manifesto Beta Version

Taxes- The goverment should try and keep taxes as affordable for everyone depending on how much money you have.If you have less your taxes should be a lower price but if you have more money then your taxes should go higher.
Regulation of business: I think that the governments shouldn't have that much of a role in business.The laws that are in place currently for businesses are at what they should be.
Social Programs: The government shouldn't have a role in these unless they are something having to do with the government.There should be a sort of hands off role with these programs.
Defense Spending & Veteran Affairs:The Government should supply more money than other thing because we need to make sure that our defense is at the best that it can be so that we are ready if attacked. Also the government should supply veterans with money especially if they got hurt for what they did for our country.
Economic Spending: I think that governments should not supply for this.If town are wanting to get more businesses for an economic growth then they should find businesses that are willing to spend money and take a chance on opening a new business.
Social Security and Medicare: The government should help out with these by supplying funding for them. The people who use social security and medicare still have to pay taxes so with those the government would end up getting the money back at a time.
Energy,science,and infrastructure: The government should supply money for this. With the research in science, scientist could find a more resourceful way to use energy and it could help save money. Also they should help out keeping up with the infrastructure in building because those are ways that we are getting money.
Foreign Aid: The government should not supply that much money for foreign countries.A time that I consider an ok time to give foreign aid would be if a natural disaster happened.Otherwise I think we should put that money to helping pay off our debt

Sequester

   Well the sequester is a group of cuts that effect the federal spending.It's a thing that many people are scared of. It came about in 2001 as part of the Budget Control Acts of 2001 according to the Washington Post.It was supposed to be over in 10 years if the joint select committee came to a deal to cut 1.5 trillion over the ten years.The cuts are made evenly between the domestic and defense programs.
     With the sequester some things are cut mainly government programs.Although things like Medicaid,food stamps,pell grants won't be cut according to abc news.The sequester started last month and it has really affected airports with flight delays because of the FAA.
     It came about to help control our growing debt. It will affect things such as national parks,the FBI,food inspections, and housing aid.Our national debt grows each day.Things such as the great depression and WW2 have an effect on it. Also the fact that our economy crashed in 2007 doesn't help.This is just a broad description of what the sequester is.

    This article about how California's adventure attendance should go up with the new cars land.Also about how much it has cost to put in the new attractions at the park.When they first opened the park they lost money because guest weren't impressed with it.It talks about how the revenue should go up and the percent of it.Also how they raised the price to park so more profit from that.With it mentioning these other things it mainly focuses on the cars land being opened and creating a buzz.

This article will help me find information for my questions because of the facts on money it provides.It talks about how much something cost. How much Disney has lost from one park of theirs. It talks about their total revenue how it is going up.

This article might be short but it has lots of information packed together in the small amount.For instance it talk about how theme parks rose the profit for Disney.Also how the the profit grew for the theme parks because of 50th year anniversary and also tickets being higher in price.Finally about how Disney's Paris theme park is starting to get more popular.

The information about the percentage it went up is helpful.Also the net income is useful because i haven't found that information in the other articles.How much the theme profit grew because it will be helpful comparing how much it can change in a year.Attendance is a big factor for the profit so the piece about Paris is useful.

Changes in demand enviornment

Increase in Demand-Lays Chips add new flavors sales become more popular

With the lays new flavor their sales have been going up.With the new kinds people are more willing to pay the higher prices.The sales each went up about 20 more people. At $1.50 the sales are now to 125.With the price at $3.00, 100 people are willing to pay the price.At $4.50, 80 people are still willing to pay that price.At $6.00, 60 people are willing to pay.And finally at $7.50,40 people are willing to pay the price with the new flavors.

Decrease Demand-Oreos have signs of salmonella sales go down

A couple weeks ago reports showed that oreos were showing signs of salmonella. From that report oreos sales have been going down.Even after a report saying that there is no signs of salmonella anymore there sales are stilling going more and more down because people are scared.90 people will pay at $1.00 now. 60 people will pay $2.00.30 people will pay $3.00.And 0 people will pay either $4.00 or $5.00.

Demand Headlines

1.Complementary Demand: "The summer weather meets record highs" swimsuits and goggles sales double.
2.Substitute Demand: "Nutella has reports of salmonella" Sales go up for peanut butter companies.
3.Elastic Demand: "Arizona's prices goes up" Their sales are going down.
4.Inelastic Demand:"Electricity Bills are starting to go up"
In your house you need electricity for basically everything in your house. Some examples that you need electricity for is your heat,fridge,water,telephone,microwave,TV, and just anything else you have around your house that needs electricity for it.If someone did not have electricity in their house for more than a day, it would be likely that they would start to get pretty mad and frustrated because of  all of the things they are no able to use at home.As americans it something we are used to and even though we do have to pay for it, it is something we take for granted. So no matter how much  your bill went up, it would be likely that you would continue to pay the bill.

Demand and Utility

K-Cups: So that I can make coffee to wake me up in the morning and other time when I'm tired
Juice: I am going to buy some juice to drink during the 30 hour famine
Lunch:I'm going to buy lunch at the school each day so that I don't stay hungry

Markets

I agree with the way our economic system is being done currently.We have a good way of selling what is being wanted currently.Our economic systems works so that what is currently in demand can be sold but can still be sold for a reasonable price.Something right now that is demand that we don't have very much of would be gas.Gas companies though are good at lowering the price of it when there is more available.

Opportunity Cost

I recently had to choose between whether doing theater or swimming on swim team again.With theater I could either have participated in Hello Dolly or Harvey.With swim team I would be swimming every day including during winter break and also have meets every weeks which meant having to miss school every so often with away meets.I chose swim team because it's my last year I can participate on swim team because none of the colleges I want to attend have a swim team.But with theater I can participate in it any were I go.

Another decision I am having to make soon is which college I want to attend.I have been accepted at NCU and Hope International.They both are good christian schools and have the major I want to go for.Hope International is in California and as nice as that would be I also have to take in account of the fact that it is far away from home and i won't be able to have the oppurtunity to come home often.Also the fact that I know barely anyone who goes there or lives in California.The nice thing is about NCU is that it is right next to University of Oregon so with that I would still be able to see my friends from high school.Also I would be able to visit often.But I still really don't know.

Scarcity

Money is very scarce in my life. I don't have any job so I often don't get money.Once i have a job I will be able to pay for everything myself which will be nice.

Economics

This will now be used for economics
