Digital downloading and the music industryhamishtl
Digital downloading has had both positive and negative effects on the music industry. While it allows people to experience new music for free through illegal downloading, it has contributed to the shutdown of major music stores like Virgin Megastores and Zavvi. This has negatively impacted major music labels and independent labels financially. Bands have also been affected, though some emerging artists have found success through platforms like Myspace.

This document discusses different types of investment firms for both retail and institutional investors, including banks, brokers, mutual funds, and pension funds. It also covers various market theories like the efficient market hypothesis and random walk theory. Different analysis styles for evaluating investments are presented, such as fundamental analysis of financial statements, technical analysis of price trends, and sentiment analysis of market psychology. Areas of debate in the investment field involve trading versus investing approaches, and which analysis techniques or time horizons work best.
The document discusses different types of market neutrality for hedge funds: 1) Correlation neutrality means a fund's returns only depend linearly on market returns. 2) Mean neutrality means a fund's expected return is independent of market returns. 3) Variance neutrality means a fund's risk does not increase as market risk increases. 4) Value-at-risk neutrality means all quantiles of a fund's return distribution are neutral to the market. 5) Tail neutrality means extremely low fund returns do not depend on extremely low market returns. 6) Complete neutrality requires a fund's return distribution to be completely independent of the market return.
Equity long/short hedge funds rely on both long and short positions in stocks to hedge against market risk. This allows the manager flexibility in choosing their net market exposure. While still focusing on stock selection, it is difficult to determine how the fund affects overall portfolio risk. An important variant is pairs trading, which involves buying one stock considered undervalued relative to a similar stock believed to be overvalued. Pairs are selected using algorithms to identify those with historically similar prices then trades are placed to profit from deviations in the price difference. Equity long/short is also related to statistical arbitrage, which seeks to exploit pricing discrepancies between related securities while hedging all pervasive risks.
Pairs trading is a hedge fund strategy that involves buying one security and short selling another security that have historically moved together. When the spread between the two securities widens, the trader will take the opposite position, betting that the prices will converge again. Key aspects of pairs trading include avoiding data snooping to test for higher potential profits, using algorithms to select pairs based on similar historical state prices according to the Law of One Price, and ensuring the component prices are cointegrated with common nonstationary factors to justify the strategy. Bankruptcy risk in one security of a pair can also drive profits if it has a temporarily increasing probability versus the other security with a constant or decreasing probability.
Statistical arbitrage strategies attempt to profit from short-term price discrepancies between similar securities. Common statistical arbitrage strategies used by hedge funds include pairs trading, which involves buying an underperforming stock in a pair and short selling the overperforming stock, and multi-factor models that select stocks based on correlations to identified market factors. Other strategies include mean reversion trading, which bets that stock prices will revert to their average value, and cointegration, which tracks indexes and uses optimized portfolios to generate returns from spreads between enhanced and basic indexes.
Trend following strategies attempt to take advantage of long-term market moves by following price trends without considering past performance. The strategies rely on the assumptions that price trends regularly occur and markets fluctuate up and down over time. Technical trading can predict or react to trends, while trend following simply follows established trends without emotional involvement. Common trend following methods include lookback straddles, generating anticipatory scenarios through time series analysis, stochastic optimization algorithms, and static portfolio models that use a buy-and-hold strategy.
Volatility trading strategies seek to profit from changes in a asset's volatility. Volatility measures how much the price of an asset fluctuates over time. There are several types of volatility strategies including volatility dispersion trading which buys options on index components and sells options on the overall index, volatility spreads which use option combinations to profit from different implied volatilities, and gamma trading which aims to benefit from unexpected events causing large price moves. Volatility is important for options as their pricing depends on assumptions about future volatility.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
