Investment Learn Stock

As the first medical school to open in California in more than 40 years, Stewart University is working to fill the gap between the high demand for medical education in the US and the limited availability of seats in US medical schools. The university is now using its rapid growth to provide a unique investment opportunity to the public in the form of three-year commercial unsecured promissory notes.

(PRWEB) April 10, 2007 -- Demand for admissions at US medical schools is at a fever pitch, and many students are turning to international institutions because the waiting lists for classroom seats are growing longer by the day. This is the situation that led to the founding of Stewart University - New Scotland International School of Medicine in California, and the new university's immediate and rapid growth is providing compelling business investment opportunities accessible to investors at almost every level.

Clubs nurture investment savviness

CRANBERRY — Mike Berman got the bug about 15 years ago and since then, he's spent a lot of time helping others catch the fever: organizing and/or joining an investment club."I've started four clubs, been involved with six, just helped form one a couple weeks ago," said Berman, 48, of Cranberry. "Sometimes you can lose money in a club, but this also helps you learn about stocks, about investing."Berman's latest venture, the Absolut Club (named after the vodka maker) has three members, including Berman, his neighbor John Bowers and former fellow worker Dennis Pichette. The name was selected after the trio saw an Absolut poster in an Applebee's restaurant while discussing club formation and figured Absolut's a premium vodka; this, hopefully, will be a premium investment club.In late 1999, six friends from Ross and nearby decided they should be investing in what at the time was a booming, high-tech-driven market.

In this brave new world, Chindia's uneven rise continues

"Chindia" is the word coined by the Indian politician, Jairam Ramesh, to denote the two Asian giants that contain 38 per cent of the world's population between them. Nor is size their only similarity. Both are heirs of ancient civilisations; both were, until recently, desperately poor; and both are among the world's fastest growing economies. Yet the differences are also striking. By looking carefully at them one can learn more about their prospects for continued growth.
The economists' technique of growth accounting helps shed a bright light on the story. A recent paper -- Accounting for Growth: Comparing China and India, Working Paper 12943, February 2007, National Bureau of Economic Research -- by Barry Bosworth and Susan Collins of the Washington-based Brookings Institution does just that.
