The region--which does not necessarily correspond with the current borders--had many names over the past millennia, such as Mesopotamia, Babylon, Assyria and more. Many minorities of race and religion lived there. The Jewish exile to Babylon began in 586 BC, following Nebuchadnezzar's destruction of Jerusalem. In Western historiography the Levant is also called the "Fertile Crescent" and is considered the "birthplace of human civilization." It was also the birth place of the monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam, which were then spread across the world. Alisa Douer demonstrates the integrity and long history of the Jews in Iraq, which lasted for more than 2,600 years and included many contributions to the society as a whole. One should also note that they did not leave Iraq, their home country, voluntarily, but were forced to leave after the creation of Israel and the Arab-Israeli War in 1948, as about one million Jews in the rest of the Arab world. The Jewish community was a part of the Arab world that once was home to many ethnic and religious minorities, living predominantly in peaceful coexistence. The Jews of Iraq, like all Jews from Arab countries, were mostly Sephardic Jews, and as such, they faced discrimination and were forced to adapt to life in Israel and its majority, which were Ashkenazim -- East and Middle European Jews. They did not match the Ashkenazi schema. In spite of this, the integration of the Jews of Iraq is a success story"--$cCover page 4. 410 0$aArabische Welt ;$v14. 606 $aJews$zIraq$xHistory 607 $aIraq$xEthnic relations 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 676 $a956.7004924 700 $aDouer$b Alisa$01466650 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795517703321 996 $aThe Jews of Iraq$93679315 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05505nam 2200733Ia 450 001 9910829806903321 005 20170814174521.0 010 $a1-119-20368-6 010 $a1-118-41709-7 010 $a1-283-64601-3 010 $a1-118-42046-2 035 $a(CKB)2670000000246632 035 $a(EBL)894312 035 $a(OCoLC)796230366 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000742039 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12378061 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000742039 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10737919 035 $a(PQKB)10635035 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16034618 035 $a(PQKB)22285330 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC894312 035 $a(DLC) 2012025729 035 $a(CaSebORM)9781118417096 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000246632 100 $a20120614d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aTrade the Congressional effect$b[electronic resource] $ehow to profit from Congress, impact on the stock market /$fEric Singer 205 $a1st edition 210 $aHoboken, N.J. $cWiley$dc2012 215 $a1 online resource (226 p.) 225 0 $aWiley trading series 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-118-36243-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aTrade the Congressional Effect; Contents; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Our Damaged Economy; Congress's Role in Wealth Destruction; Summary; Notes; Chapter 1 What Is the Congressional Effect?; How Was the Congressional Effect Discovered?; Early Returns Showing the Congressional Effect; The Smoot-Hawley Act: The Mother of All Congressional Effects; The Congressional Effect Data and Launching a Mutual Fund; Summary; Notes; Chapter 2 The Congressional Effect and the Limits of Modern Portfolio Theory; How MPT Has Been Used by Financial Advisers 327 $aFormulas Distort Valuation if Inputs Are Not Free Market InputsWhat Caused the Crash of 1987?; The Magnitude of the Crash of 1987 Refutes MPT; MPT Assumes All Daily Pricing Is Random, but the Congressional Effect Shows It Is Not; Summary; Notes; Chapter 3 Congressmen as Issues Entrepreneurs; The Time-Money-Vote Continuum: Congress as a Business; Congressmen as Traders and Real Estate Entrepreneurs: Making Money Outside Their Day Gig; Summary; Notes; Chapter 4 Behavioral Finance, the Stock Market, and Congressional Dysfunction; Overview of Behavioral Finance Concepts 327 $aSurvey of Behavioral Finance ConceptsSatisficing; Hyperbolic Discounting; Endowment Effect; Anchoring; Separate Mental Accounts; Herd Behavior and Groupthink; Sunk Costs; Confirmation Biases; Overconfidence; Cognitive Reflection; Choice Bracketing; Congress's Approach to Behavioral Finance; Causes of Dysfunction; Anchoring; Status Quo Bias; Current Lack of Cognitive Reflection; Confirmation Bias; Our Innumerate Congress; Groupthink; Investment Fees and Conflicts; Summary; Notes; Chapter 5 If Congress Is Malfunction Junction, What's Its Function? 327 $aEconomic Lifeblood: Investment Capital Formation, the Stock Market, and CongressDodd-Frank Overview; Health Care Reform; Burning Coal and Other Energy Investors; Summary; Notes; Chapter 6 Where Will Washington Strike Next?; Where You Can Find Information; Traditional Print and Mainstream Televison Sources; Radio; Online; Think Tanks and Blogs; D.C.-Specific Media; How Congress Passes a Law; How to Leverage This Glut of Information; Summary; Notes; Chapter 7 Sidestepping Congress's Wealth Destruction with a Macro Approach; 11,832 Data Points Support the Congressional Effect Theory 327 $aCongress and the Tragedy of the CommonsAdam Smith, Call Your Office!; Summary; Notes; Chapter 8 Are Democrats or Republicans Better for Your Portfolio?; Who Gets the Credit for the Bull Market in 1980?; Unified Government Favors Nominal Returns; Split Government Favors Real Returns; Republican Congress vs. Democratic Congress; Filibuster-Proof Majorities Hurt Returns; Summary; Notes; Chapter 9 Leverging the Election Cycle; The Presidential Cycle and Real Returns; The 2012 Election and Beyond; Notes 327 $aChapter 10 Are Lame Ducks, Impeachments, Resignations, Vetoes, and Litigated Elections Good for the Market? 330 $aAn innovative investment approach that takes the actions of the U.S. Congress into consideration Historical research indicates that, more often than not, when Congress is in session there is a negative effect on equities markets (the ""Congressional Effect"") due possibly to investor uncertainty surrounding government action or inaction as well as the unintended consequences of Congressional legislative initiatives on the stock market.
