Katie Benner is an American reporter for ''The New York Times'' covering the United States Department of Justice. Early life and education Benner grew up in Vermont and was an English major at Bowdoin College, in Maine. After graduating in 1999 with "zero idea" about a career plan, she moved to Beijing to teach English. While there, she wrote freelance for the ''Beijing Review'', a media outlet designated as a foreign mission by the State Department, about everything from monks to music. In the wake of the September 11 attacks, she began collecting information on how the event affected American expatriates. Prompted by a friend's suggestion that this idea would make an interesting news story, she pitched it to the ''Portland Press Herald'' in Maine. She had some contacts there, having worked at a deli in her college days, regularly making sandwiches for several of the newspaper's writers and editors. The ''Press Herald'' accepted the story, launching her U.S. journalistic career. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hedge Fund
A hedge fund is a pooled investment fund that trades in relatively liquid assets and is able to make extensive use of more complex trading, portfolio-construction, and risk management techniques in an attempt to improve performance, such as short selling, leverage, and derivatives. Financial regulators generally restrict hedge fund marketing to institutional investors, high net worth individuals, and accredited investors. Hedge funds are considered alternative investments. Their ability to use leverage and more complex investment techniques distinguishes them from regulated investment funds available to the retail market, commonly known as mutual funds and ETFs. They are also considered distinct from private equity funds and other similar closed-end funds as hedge funds generally invest in relatively liquid assets and are usually open-ended. This means they typically allow investors to invest and withdraw capital periodically based on the fund's net asset value, whereas pr ...

Financial Market
A financial market is a market in which people trade financial securities and derivatives at low transaction costs. Some of the securities include stocks and bonds, raw materials and precious metals, which are known in the financial markets as commodities. The term "market" is sometimes used for what are more strictly ''exchanges'', organizations that facilitate the trade in financial securities, e.g., a stock exchange or commodity exchange. This may be a physical location (such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), London Stock Exchange (LSE), JSE Limited (JSE), Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) or an electronic system such as NASDAQ. Much trading of stocks takes place on an exchange; still, corporate actions (merger, spinoff) are outside an exchange, while any two companies or people, for whatever reason, may agree to sell the stock from the one to the other without using an exchange. Trading of currencies and bonds is largely on a bilateral basis, although some bonds trade o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
