Question

What index measures occupational diversity in an economy?

Answer 1

I am playing big on oil trading. I’m from Morgan Stanly, or Goldman & Sachs, or any big firms on the Wall Street .

I bought millions and millions of barrels of oil when they cost $60--$100 a barrel. I expect to make a kill when I sell. But right now it’s only $135 a barrel. So here is my difficulty No.1 :

Congress is now investigating on oil speculation, I am afraid of being caught.  But if I sell them right now, I would end up with little or no profit since the trading fees and hedge fund managing cost are not cheap.

I already request my agents send  the spin out to the media, like: “Oil future looks high, expecting to be in the range of $200 a barrel soon. ”   But it does not work price up as fast as I expected.

So my question is this:  How do I corner the market price up in time so not to get caught by Congress.?

For your info:   Prof. Michael Greenberger’s testimony before Senate makes me very nervous.  He said: ‘If speculation were reined in and trading rules tightened, the cost of crude oil could drop 25 percent.” http://www.mcclatchydc.com/staff/les_blu...

My lobby firm can work Republican party to stall passing the laws, but  I am not sure for how long. I am very fearful and worried. What are the options for me ? Please advise.

Not sure if this is what you mean...

We  measure occupational diversity using the Herfindahl Index.

The Herfindahl index, also known as Herfindahl-Hirschman Index or HHI, is a measure of the size of firms in relationship to the industry and an indicator of the amount of competition among them. Named after economists Orris C. Herfindahl and Albert O. Hirschman, it is an economic concept but widely applied in competition law and antitrust. It is defined as the sum of the squares of the market shares of each individual firm: ie the average market share, weighted by market share. As such, it can range from 0 to 10,000 moving from a very large amount of very small firms to a single monopolistic producer. Decreases in the Herfindahl index generally indicate a loss of market power and an increase in competition, whereas increases imply the opposite.
