Right now i am reading this
summery of paper:
| quote: | | Prior research has shown that television viewing cultivates perceptions of the prevalence of societal affluence through a memory-based process that relies on the application of judgmental heuristics. This article extends this research by examining (1) whether cultivation effects generalize to consumer values such as materialism and (2) whether these values judgments are also processed in a heuristic manner. Data from both a survey and an experiment suggest that television cultivates materialism through an online process in which television's influence is enhanced by active (rather than heuristic) processing during viewing. This finding stands in contrast to the cultivation of prevalence judgments, which are attenuated by active processing during judgment elicitation. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights reserved)(from the journal abstract) |
and i think i will use it for my paper. I need 2 more articles to fill my quota of references and taht seems like an easy one i can put pretty much anywhere as a reference.
god damn experimental class |

As noted earlier we are not overleveraged. Much of the recent press highlights private equity firms that have gotten in trouble acquiring similar businesses to those we own. These transactions are substantially more leveraged and therefore more at risk to changes in the economy. Furthermore, we are proud of our average acquisition multiple which we believe has been materially lower than those of comparable companies sold to private equity firms over time. This is largely due to our business model which allows us the luxury of patience both on the acquisition and ultimate exit side. We are also not regulatoraily constrained and our ability to raise capital and to reiterate we have current capacity to consummate additional accretive acquisitions.
Another distinction is that unlike business development companies or even the private equity asset managers that trade publically, our ability to generate cash flow and growth is not dependent on transactions. We expect our cash flow to grow organically and we do not have assets that are naturally shrinking like loans that amortize, pre-pay or cease to perform or funds that we manage with finite lives. At the end of the call we’ll be happy to elaborate further on any of these differences if you would like. |
