SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION: (SEC) A federal government agency that regulates the trading of corporate stock to protect investors against unscrupulous practices. Like a number of other federal regulatory agencies, the SEC was established in the 1930s--1934 to be exact. The impetus for its formation was to prevent investors from manipulating the stock market and to prevent other practices that contributed to the 1929 stock market crash. The SEC has all sorts of rules governing the stock market, including information disclosure, insider trading, speculation, and use of credit.

SWOT: A strategic approach to analyzing the internal attributes of an organization. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. This is usually done after environmental scanning is performed. Strengths focuses on those components of the business that make it unique and strong. Weaknesses can be those parts that put the company at risk, either now or in the future. Opportunities are possible changes in laws, technology or other variables that create windows for future growth. Threats can encompass new competitors, new regulations, or other dangerous variables that must be addressed.

This is one of three short-run production alternatives facing a firm. The other two are profit maximization (if price exceeds average total cost) and shutdown (if price is less than average variable cost).

[What's This?]
Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at a crowded estate auction hoping to buy either a coffee cup commemorating last Friday (you know why) or a wall poster commemorating the first day of spring. Be on the lookout for small children selling products door-to-door.
