So, the present study was attempted to identify the socioeconomic profile of the buffalo keeping farmers and to estimate the income from buffalo farming. To achieve the objectives 10 (ten) districts namely: Mymensingh, Jamalpur, Moulovibazar, Bhola, Potuakhali, Noakhali, Laxmipur, Chittagong, Tangail and Sirajgong were selected purposively on the basis of buffalo population and project implementation areas and 01 (one) Upazila was taken from each district. A total of 500 (50 from each district) buffalo farmers were interviewed following simple random sampling technique. Data were collected during the month of January 2016 to April 2016 and analyzed using SPSS and STATA software tools. In this study, ‘Logit model’ was adopted using binary dependent variable. Study revealed that the highest per cent of farmers were in age group 31-45 years and engaged in agriculture as primary occupation. The highest number of farmers had primary level education and had above 15 years of experience of rearing buffalo. Average farm size was calculated 1.05 hectare, average family size was 6.17 persons per family and dependency ratio was also estimated 1.05. Per lactation total cost was estimated BDT 24,507, lactation period was 255 days and average milk production per day was 2 liters. The highest return from milk production was BDT 27,189 and the BCR was 1.31 (undiscounted). It was found that about 64 per cent farmers had access to artificial insemination (AI) and seventy per cent farmers vaccinated their buffaloes where 66 per cent FMD, 24 per cent BQ and 20 HS. Ninety eight per cent farmers feed colostrum to the new born buffalo calves and almost 90 per cent farmers had done D-warming. Buffalo population was found highest in Ramgoti and lowest in Haluaghat and on average per farm buffalo number was 18.91. The highest (33%) family income was derived from buffalo rearing followed by service, business, farming and livestock (except buffalo). The value of coefficient of Binary Logistic Regression Model showed that most of the prediction was justified and statistically significant and buffalo development program was helpful and necessity for the buffalo farmers. *","PeriodicalId":315937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stock & Forex Trading","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124866689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, if these banks experience scale economies that reduce the average cost of their financial products and services, breaking them into smaller institutions might reduce their ability to compete in global markets and provide them with incentives to evade break up and operate outside the regulated financial system - with the potential for new sources of systemic risk. Textbooks assert that large scale is associated with such cost economies, but the evidence for these economies is difficult to obtain. Is such evidence illusive or elusive? This paper explores some of the published evidence and the reasons why it is elusive, not illusive.","PeriodicalId":315937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stock & Forex Trading","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117193190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper discusses a system (The System) that includes regressed profits on Total Trades, Winners, Size, and Intraday drawdown of Commodities, Equities, Fixed Income, and Trade duration Exit Days. The System uses the SP including a variety of traded securities. The System applies trading portfolio theories, such as asset diversification, and extends these theories to human resource management diversification. The System integrates an Automated Trading System (ATS), of algorithmic trading, with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) trading strategy. This paper also tests several null hypotheses on predictor independent variables and their coefficient of determination; rejecting the null hypotheses that these determinations are equal to zero. Furthermore, this paper links constructs to SMA and Trend-Following Ordinary Least Square (OLS), to the World Wide Web (WWW), and to High Frequency Trading (HTF). Additionally, this paper discusses topping the WWW’s Search Engine Results page (SERP) and discusses Search Engine Optimization (SEO). \u0000The System includes Mobile Phones (smart phones and tablets), Audit Counter Party Audio/Video (AV), a surveillance approach to IP (Internet Protocol) both fixed and mobile, and wired and wireless AV cameras. The System also includes wearable cameras; such as Google-Glass. Additionally, The System includes screen-sharing broadcasting, archiving shots, and webcams. The System also implements Google Plus’s Hangouts on Air (G+ HOA), as well as Voice over IP (VOIP) phone video conferencing, which is similar to Skype. Software robots (BOTs) and classroom Instructor’s Lecture Videos, which are recorded with the instructor’s tablet, supplement The System. Furthermore, The System deals with Quantitative Robotic Algorithmic Automated Securities (e.g., Stocks, Equities, Treasuries, Commodities, and Futures). Additionally The System includes Trading System Strategy, internet security, forensic accounting, and expert witness testimony, point of view (POV) surveillance, fraud examination, and web programming. The System helps identify misinformation such as “cooking the books” from Toxic Paper Sub-Prime Mortgages, CDS, and CSOs Material Misstatements of the Financial Services Industry; such as the Crisis Challenges and counterparty surveillance of collateralized debt obligations.","PeriodicalId":315937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stock & Forex Trading","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134139306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
