While U.S. government bonds are often cited as "riskless," investors can lose money if the government defaults on its debt. The U.S. came close to defaulting on its debt in 2011, when a political standoff over the debt ceiling led to a downgrade of its credit rating by Standard & Po...
Peripheral Europe has so far been remarkably tolerant of high unemployment, but of course the longer this goes on the lower the tolerance. If at some point opposition to the euro, or opposition to servicing the debt, becomes an obvious way to gain political support, we may see the debate a...
Oh yeah. Those are "political". They reflected my idea of furthering "the public good" at the time I did I them. You get the idea. There's got to be a cause, some heat, some passion in an activity that helps others. Doesn't matter if it's a national issue or not. Doesn't ...
but that risk cuts both ways. When investing in a volatile security, the chance for success is increased as much as the risk of failure. For this reason, many traders with a high-risk tolerance look to multiple measures of volatility to help inform their trade ...
to be equal to a reward for the regime for its criminality and success of the Russian project in Syria in a conclusive way. Then, if Syria is without big economic and financial support it will remain a ‘failed state” threatened by a new explosion under the influence and corruption of th...
“The violence that we saw yesterday is an attack on our democracy itself,” Garland said. “The Justice Department has no tolerance for such violence. And as Americans, we must have no tolerance for it. This must stop.” Wray called the attack “absolutely despicable” and said it ...
The context of the rating is significant; in some instances it may indicate a maximum safe working voltage, in others it may be more akin to a semiconductor’s “absolute maximum” rating, to which an appropriate de-rating factor should be applied. Tolerance A capacitor’s tolerance ...
Please advise what +/- tolerance you may see in the 2.5mm material.I am asking because the absolute min thickness we can live with is 2.4mm ( .095” )Please confirm back that any variation in the thickness of the 2.5mm material will not cause it to fall below 2.4mm thickness....
Head Angle: The absolute angle of the head with the global coordinate system. This is calculated for you if you check the option box when processing the static trial. ASIS-Trochanter distance: The perpendicular distance from the trochanter to the ASIS point. If this value is not entered, then...
Also, the average interface dislocation spacing can be given by36–38: d = b δ (4) where b is the Burgers vector's absolute value of the misfit dislocation parallel to the interface and δ is the lattice mismatch. By using eq. (4), the average interface dislocation spacing is ...
