I don’t have any background in finance, but what is stopping these companies from creating their own index and promoting it heavily? They have the market cap and the capital backing to do it I presume.
I was initially very surprised to see "The god of small things" in this list and even more so to see it at 32 in the list. But then, this is a list voted for by authors, critics and academics who are probably the only set where such books are popular.
As someone explained it below in this thread, walk into a mall with Bluetooth turned on and phone starts chiming with multiple "... wants to send you a media/audio/image etc." Not just ads, some bad actors would try to infect the phone with malware. Luckily never happened to me, but I heard from my acquaintances.
Yeah, but it stopped pretty soon stores figured out that they could flood you with advertisements over Bluetooth. In some places it was bad enough that I had to turn off Bluetooth.
The way I understood why it’s beneficial to switch your choice after the host opens a door showing you a goat is as below
Assume that door 1 has a goat , door 2 has a car and door 3 has a goat behind it. There are 3 trials possible in the Monty Hall scenario
Trial 1
Contestant chose door 1(which is a goat). Host opens door 3(because he has to) and asks if contestant would like to switch. If he switches, then he wins the !
Trial 2
Contestant chooses door 2, host can open door 1 or 3 doesn’t matter. Host asks contestant if he’d like to switch and if he does then he loses.
Trial 3
Contestant chooses door 3(which has a goat). Host opens door 1(he has to) and asks if contestant would like to switch to door 2. Contestant switches to door 2 and wins a cat!
So 2/3 times contestant wins when switching his/her original choice.
Thanks for sharing this!
I suspect that the salary listed for certified petitions may be capturing the upper end of the range of salary provided in the LCA for the job/position rather than the actual salary.
Maybe I should consider myself as one :)
