The Société de Relations d’Affaires HEC Montréal(SRA) is proud to invite you to HEC Montreal Undergraduate Stock Exchange simulation 2006. This year is the ninth edition of the event and we are continuously aiming to recreate the atmosphere and environment of Wall Street's old fashioned trading floor involving shouted negotiation(stocks and options). This year, our principal objective is the magnification of the activity through the welcoming of students from many more universities across Canada and the United States, as well as allowing a large audience to attend to the event and increasing our sponsors’ implication. Therefore, we are expecting more than 400 participants to register that will have the opportunity to experiment the broker profession and that will, this year, have the chance to face expert teams throughout the event. 1, record 4, English, - Undergraduate%20Stock%20Exchange%20simulation

Home equity conversion is commonly understood to be the generation of cash by borrowing against home equity from a lender. The home is mortgaged by the borrower to provide an interest to the lender. The borrower retains occupancy rights until the loan has to be repaid because the cash is generated from home equity through a mortgage loan, rather than through the sale of the home. 1, record 8, English, - home%20equity%20conversion

On entend généralement par transformation de l'avoir propre foncier l'obtention de liquidités par emprunt sur l'avoir propre foncier chez un prêteur. L'emprunteur souscrit une hypothèque sur son logement et verse un intérêt au prêteur. L'emprunteur conserve les droits d'occupation jusqu'à ce que le prêt doive être remboursé, car les liquidités proviennent de l'avoir propre foncier par l'intermédiaire d'un prêt hypothécaire, plutôt que par la vente du logement. 1, record 8, French, - transformation%20d%27avoir%20propre
