This section should present the recent history for these variables and also include your outlook for these factors. Your economic analysis should be used, in part, to support your valuation of the stock and your final recommendation. For example, if you are very negative on the economy?s future, you are probably less likely to recommend the stock of a cyclical company. This section should reflect your opinion relative to what you have read. You should discuss how you have reached your opinion.


2. Industry Analysis
?The past and potential profitability of a company is related to the past and potential profitability of the industry as a whole. The industry analysis should take into account the competition among the companies within the industry, relative power of suppliers and customers, potential for entry by competitors, international aspects, regulatory concerns, and substitute products, to name a few of the factors for consideration.

m. If Value Line gives your stock a particularly low (e.g., 4 or 5) or high (e.g., 1 or 2) rating for either performance, safety, or technical why do you feel your stock deserves or does not deserve this (these) rating(s) at this time? What do you feel are the main strengths and/or weaknesses of your firm?

4. Management of International Economic Exposure
Does the company manage the relevant risks?
This section is based on your own analysis. You are supposed to make thorough analyses of the company and discuss what International economic risks you think the company is exposed to.

* Suggest variables that you think should be used when measuring the company?s exposures (i.e., you should discuss what specific exchange rates, interest rates and so on that you find important to your companies).
* According to your analyses, and based on what you consider the company?s risk attitude, time horizon, and view on purchasing power parity, Interest rate parity, and the expectations hypothesis to be, does the company manage their risks properly as compared to the strategies suggested in the literature?
* Risk: How risky (get stock prices and compute your company?s Beta) is your company versus the market or other firms in that industry?
* How does the company manage International economic exposures? Include financial reports, press releases, etc (external view) and any information you can discover about the firms internal view of itself regarding foreign exchange risk.
* Discuss the company?s awareness of their International economic exposure?s and the International & Macro-economic variables they consider important, how they measure their exposure, and how they manage it.

How do you support your conclusion?

5. Analysts? View
* The section should be based on analysts? reports in e.g. financial magazines, other publications, or interviews. You are supposed to discuss how analysts judge the exposure management programs of the companies, and what macroeconomic risks analysts think the companies are exposed to.
* Discuss degree of internationalization of operations and how vulnerable the firm might be to governmental changes here and abroad. What about natural disasters, political unrest, union actions, social issues (only with respect to operations)?
* Obtain a copy of either Value Line, Standard and Poor?s, or similar report on your company. Copy either the Management?s Outlook from the 10K or the President/CEO?s Letter from the Annual Report. Compare/contrast the Management?s opinion of the company with the Value Line or S&P. Management?s view of the future and Value Line?s or S&P?s view may differ substantially.

6. Scenario analysis
Perform a scenario analysis for your company.
Value the firm under three different scenarios:
a) Best scenario (maximum stock price if all goes well)
b) Worst scenario (lowest stock price if all goes against the firm?s interest)
c) Most likely scenario ? this is your best estimate of the equity value
d) Interpretation of the scenarios.

Give your opinion on how you think the ongoing political situation in America, Europe and Asia will affect the company. Discuss the level of financial integration among relevant countries and its importance for the corporate exposure to the current economic situation.

Managing foreign exchange rate risks is very important. If you do not manage exchange rate risk proper way, it will have a negative impact on the rate of return on your investment in the foreign exchange market. Companies also face transaction risks from fluctuations in exchange rates between the various currencies in which they do business. The unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations may negatively impact company?s financial performance. Therefore, both the individual investors and the companies must consider hedging foreign exchange rate risk.

Recently I ordered an outline for my research paper. The title of the paper is: UP OR DOWN? THE FVALUE OF THE DOLLAR. The outline went as follows:

Introduction

Statement of the Problem:

According to Michael Artis, Elizabeth Hennessy and Axel Weber (2000), capital losses can be caused by differential changes in the value of assets and liabilities, primarily exchange rate changes; these changes affect the value of a central bank's foreign exchange reserves. To date, exchange rate changes have only been a major problem for national central banks with very large foreign exchange reserves. The strength of the euro compared to the U.S. dollar has been growing in recent months, and economists are of mixed opinions about the impact on the valuation of the dollar as the European Union continues to gain economic momentum as it streamlines it trading practices.

Purpose of Study:

The purpose of this study will be to examine the historical basis for the valuation of the U.S. dollar, the impact of recent trends and initiatives including but not limited to the euro, and an analysis of how these factors will serve to affect the dollar's valuation in the future.

Scope of Study:

This study will examine a wide range of international currencies, with an emphasis on the world's leading economies besides the U.S. nd EU such as China, Japan, Korea and others, with a particular emphasis on how these currencies have tended to interact with the U.S. dollar over the years.

Overview of the Study:

This study will use an exploratory approach to review the relevant and peer-reviewed literature to develop fresh insights and theories concerning what can be expected as these increasingly powerful international valuation forces come to bear on the U.S. dollar in the future.
