Abstract
The thesis of this paper examines the present state of securities markets in Egypt in light of the country's needs for economic growth and analyzes their problems with the institutional measures currently existing. Following an introductory chapter on the importance of capital markets development for Egypt, especially with regard to the privatization policy currently adopted by the government, the thesis addresses the capital markets in Egypt under several points. It emphasizes the existing securities market and the securities stock exchange, with the available operations of the stock exchanges and the supply and demand of securities and the institutional investor interest in securities; determines the role of existing financial (non-banking) intermediaries as a source of capita for both the private and public sector that can be used to activate the capital market; discusses the role of the National Investment Bank (NIB) with its role as an intermediate chain between the various saving sources and the government commands, in addition to the rest of its roles; and analyzes the crucial role of the Capital Market Authority as the key organization and influence for capital markets development in Egypt. The paper also deals with the legal and tax framework, which serves as the background in which the capital market operates. Under this section, a study of the general laws that facilitate formations, operations, and issuance of securities by corporations is presented, as well as a study of the tax incentives and the financial accounting and auditing standards. In addition. the paper discusses the new capital market law.
From the Paper
"In studying the failure of the Egyptian Stock Market to live up to expectations or, at the minimum, stabilize and expand to emerge as a coherent and viable economic entity, one can identify a number of causal factors, ranging from a general lack of awareness of the potentials of the stock market as an investment arena, to government interferences. While each of the many causal factors plays a significant role in explaining the stated failure, all pale in comparison to the politico-legal factors underlying that failure. Briefly and simply stated, the Egyptian stock market is subject to seemingly arbitrary investment laws which encourage neither stabilization nor investments. Over and above, the laws are constantly changed, or undergoing endless reform processes which communicate to potential investors that the market has yet to develop a tight and stable framework as would motivate investment."

Abstract
This paper explains that the stock market growths and declines usually follow the business cycles, which also depends on the people's confidence level in the economy; however, cases of wars and of direct stock market manipulation, such as the Enron case, also can have an effect. The author points out that a shrewd investor can make money even when the market is falling because there are sectors that do very well when the market tends to go down. The paper states that the greatest requirement for winning in the stock market is patience and discipline, not acting on a whim but waiting for the correct trading time to come, which for most people requires the help of a professional.

From the Paper
"At the time two years ago, the markets had peaked and then the slide started, from which the economy took a long time to come out of. This was due to the anticipation of the stock market about a bad situation in the economy and that led to a depressed market. According to the analyst, the market situation was improving and one could expect the situation to improve. At the same time, the decision to buy a particular stock does not depend on the general direction of the market. One has to decide what sector to buy, small stocks or large stocks, stocks or funds, etc. this analysis has to be carried out by the investors."

Abstract
This paper looks at the effect the stock market has on the U.S. economy. It looks at the effects of a declining stock market and a rising stock market. Also discussed is to what extent the economy effects the stock market and how much the two are intertwined. The paper also includes opinions and analyses from different experts in economics, which help explain the relationship between the stock market and the economy.
From the Paper
"Recent declines in the stock market have had a detrimental impact the economy both in the United States and abroad. The stock market and the economy are deeply intertwined. As such, stock market declines have a wide-ranging effect on many sectors of the economy. Importantly, the health of the stock market is seen as an indicator of the general economic health. Thus, any decline in the stock market is often seen as a negative prediction for the economy. Drops in the stock market often translate into decreased net worth for both households and businesses, and thereby decrease consumer spending and confidence, resulting damage to the economy."

"COMPARING AND CONTRASTING THE STOCK MARKET AND THE BOND MARKET IN THE UNITED STATES
This research compares and contrasts the stock market and the bond market in the United States from the perspective of the investor. The assessment discusses advantages and disadvantages of each class of securities.
There are several barometers used to describe stock market activity in the United States. The most widely known of these barometers is the Dow Jones Industrial Average of 30 stocks. There are other Dow Jones index averages, utilities and transportation as examples, and there are other indexes, such as such as the Standard and Poors 500, the Wilshire 5000, the NASDAQ, and others. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is easily the most recognizable stock market measure to most people."

Abstract
The writer of this well-researched paper compares the events of 1987 to those which occurred in 1926, which brought about the Great Depression. This paper examines the causes and consequences of the 1987 crash, while also discussing the policy responses to the event and its future implications. This paper analyzes the status of the stock market 5 years prior to the crash. From 1982-1987 the Dow Industrial Average had risen from 776 points in August 1982 to a record high of 2,722 points in August 1987. This paper delves into the warning signs that were evident, prior to the crash, yet were largely ignored, including a weakening U.S. dollar, a rising trade deficit, inflation and the first short term interest raise in 3 years by the Federal Reserve. The writer discusses how the crash not only affected the U.S. stock market, but markets around the world as well. This paper looks at the U.S. trade and budget deficits that rose steadily during the 1980s, which have also been blamed for the crash. This paper delves into how the Federal Reserve responded to the crash, while also examining the reform measures taken to prevent a similar disaster in the future.

"In the wake of the crash of 87 many analysts, including a presidential task force, laid the blame for the decline squarely on portfolio insurance. As evidence, they quoted the fact that portfolio insurance alone accounted for 12% of the selling in stock and index futures markets on October 19, 1987. According to the "blame portfolio insurance" theory, portfolio insurers came to the Monday's opening armed with an overhang of unexecuted sell orders from the accelerating decline of the previous week and placed large sell orders to initiate the decline in the market. From then onwards, as the market declined further during the day, the sell orders by the portfolio insurers kept on increasing to cater for their back log. To make matters worse, other investors who were not familiar with portfolio insurance, saw the declining prices and assumed that the selling was based on fundamentals and joined the queue of sellers; thus perpetuating the vicious circle."

Abstract
This paper reflects on the relationships between oil prices and the stock market. The relationship between oil prices and increases in costs to transportation, heating, and production are reviewed, and the role of spiking oil prices on market uncertainty is discussed. Overall, higher oil prices are historically linked to declining stock market prices, and it seems reasonable to suggest that future stock market decreases will come from current increases in oil prices.

Oil Prices and the Stock Market
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The relationship between rising oil prices and falling stocks has been seen repeatedly throughout the past thirty years. Form 1973 to 1982 when oil prices rose from $5 to $30 USD a barrel also saw double digit inflation, and two recessions. The same pattern was seen in 1987, when rising oil prices saw stocks tumble by more than 30 percent on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Stocks fell again when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, and oil prices rose close to 50 percent over several weeks. From 1991 to 2000, stocks remained strong as oil prices held steady (Leeb and Leeb, 2004)."

Abstract
This extensive paper is a discussion of using contrarian and momentum strategies when predicting the stock market in Taiwan. The paper begins with an introduction to the problem in Chapter One that also contains the hypothesis for the paper, the definition of terms section, and other valuable information. This information provides a basis for the paper and gives rise to the belief that both of these strategies are very important for issues that involve the stock market, especially in developing countries.
A review of the literature follows in Chapter Two where information available about the issue is presented and discussed. At least 50 sources are analyzed in order to receive a complete picture of the issue. In addition to contrarian and momentum strategies, information regarding stock markets and Taiwan in general are also addressed. Chapter Three discusses the methodology for analyzing the literature and determining what decisions can be reached about the validity of the hypothesis.
Chapter Four presents the qualitative findings that have been determined based on the literature review and analysis of the data, and Chapter Five offers conclusions, recommendations, and a summary of information. The study concludes with a look toward the future of the stock market in Taiwan.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Some may feel that this type of criminal activity does not occur, but there is a concern that these people may be misinformed about what goes on when the stock market has difficulty. Instead, the belief of many is that stock market problems create the potential for much criminal activity and unethical conduct because many people feel that this type of behavior is the only way that they stand a chance of making back any of the money that they have lost when the stock market performs badly. Various strategies can be used, therefore, to keep the stock market strong, predict where it is headed, and keep the criminal activity to a minimum."

The Stock and Bond Markets, 2002.

Abstract
Both stock prices and bond prices in the securities markets in the United States tend to be volatile. The volatility of these markets creates risk for the investor. Further, the stock market and the bond market frequently respond differently to financial, economic, and political stimuli. This research compares and contrasts the stock market and the bond market in the United States from the perspective of the investor. The assessment discusses advantages and disadvantages of each class of securities. The paper includes graphs and tables.
From the Paper
"Thus, while bond price volatility is in part a function of market interest rates, bond price behavior is also a function of coupon interest rates and term-to-maturity periods as functions affecting bond yield. Two approaches to yield determination for bonds predominate?current yield and promised yield. A bond?s current yield is the amount of current income that a bond provides (annual interest) relative to its prevailing market price. Promised yield, by contrast, includes both interest income, price appreciation or depreciation, and total cash flow received over the life of the instrument in the bond valuation process. The promised yield is a function of the present value concept. Thus, the promise yield of a bond, in effect, is the internal rate of return of the bond (Gitman, Joehnk, & Pinches, 1995)."

The Stock Market and the Economy, 2004.

Abstract
This paper relates that stock market declines have a wide-ranging effect on many sectors of the economy; therefore, the health of the stock market is seen as an indicator of the general economic health. The author points out that drops in the stock market often translate into decreased net worth for both households and businesses, thereby, decreasing consumer spending and confidence, which damages the economy. The paper concludes that one of a number of solutions proposed to help stimulate the US economy includes tax rate cuts.
From the Paper
"Certainly, the stock market is only one of the factors that can impact the economy. Savage notes that almost all Americans are familiar with the textbook example that WWII played an important part in stimulating America's economy. Importantly, given America's recent actions in Iraq, war can have a significant economic impact as well. Economist Robert Genetski notes that there are several important caveats on war's impact on the economy. He notes that markets often soar in anticipation of a quick victory, but that if the "battle were to be prolonged ... any market rally would be quashed. This prediction bodes poorly for the economy given recent news of continuing American deaths in the ongoing crisis in Iraq."

Abstract
This paper discusses which certain uncertain components, along with which definite decisions, factor into determining whether the bond and stock market remains stable, disintegrates or crashes or moves forward. The paper begins by defining stocks and bonds and then discusses the political, economic and societal factors that affect it. The paper reflects on past changes in the market and analyzes historical stock market crashes.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Along with studying past crashes, market experts also analyze current economic components to check the market's pulse. The goal of "Fundamental Analysis," (assessment of underlying forces affecting economy's health) may include evaluating "financial data, management, business concept and competition. At the industry level, there might be an examination of supply and demand forces for the products offered. For the national economy, fundamental analysis might focus on economic data to assess the present and future growth of the economy. To forecast future stock prices, fundamental analysis combines economic, industry, and company analysis to derive a stock's current fair value and forecast future value. If fair value is not equal to the current stock price, fundamental analysts believe that the stock is either over or under valued and the market price will ultimately gravitate towards fair value."

The ?Theory of Everything? and Stock Markets, 2003.
The application of science's "Theory of Everything" to understanding stock markets.

Abstract
This paper expounds the ?Theory of Everything,? starting with the pioneering theories of Newton?s ?Laws of Motion? and Einstein?s ?General Theory of Relativity,? developing right through to the cutting-edge ?string theory? research currently being conducted around the world today. It shows the importance of fields of study as seemingly diverse as calculus, differential geometry, electromagnetism, particle physics and quantum mechanics to the development of a ?Theory of Everything?. It also demonstrates how those with access to this theory can use the knowledge as power for anything, such as understanding stock markets using the premise that the stock market moving up over time means that these are not random movements and therefore should be explainable.
From the Paper
"Stock markets exist over time and space (the geographical markets) that we are able to quantify and understand to a degree. Therefore, as with Einstein, we are fairly comfortable with the stock market in its familiar four dimensions. We have become accustomed to inflation; the rising of prices of goods rise over time and this is obviously a major reason for at least part of the upward rise of share prices. However, what happens when we explore the smaller dimensions ? like the six unknown dimensions string theorists grapple with? Like the string theorists who know that subatomic matter exists but can?t explain or predict its behavior, we often know what influences the stock market but are usually unable to predict it."
