Abstract: The most debated issue in the field of finance is over the effect of dividend policy on market price per share. There are huge literatures for and against this wisdom. The current study has been undertaken aiming at evaluating the effect of dividend policy on market price of share in the context of Bangladesh. The study has covered secondary data and analyzed the data by employing descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression models. It has tested hypothesis by using F test. The study has found that the effect of dividend payout is more on market price than retention. This dependency is significant at 1%. Finally, the paper concludes that the findings over the effect of dividend policy on market price supports the relevant theory of dividend policy i.e. Walter's model and Gordon's model.
Key words: Dividend policy, Market price per share, Earning per share

Abstract: The study investigated the impact of some selected macroeconomic variables on the attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Nigeria between 1975 and 2009. Augmented Dickey-Fuller test was used to examine the time series property of the data and Johansen co-integration test was employed to ascertain the long-run relationship between the dependent variable (FDI) and the independent macroeconomic variables. Ordinary least technique also was employed in the study. Error correction coefficient was high, rightly signed and significant which reveals a long run relationship between the selected macroeconomic variables and FDI for the period of study. The explanatory variables included in the model showed statistical significant impact on FDI. The overall regression was significant as denoted by the probability of the F-statistic at 5% significant level. On this note, among the recommendations made include: the Nigerian government should promote non-oil exports and discourage over dependence on imports of goods and raw materials; diversification of the economy should be paramount in the minds of the resource managers of our economy and it is imperative that the country has to promote private sector led growth and the creation of enabling environment, especially infrastructure. Key words: effects, foreign direct investment, liberalized economy, macroeconomic variables

Abstract: Globalization of financial markets has been increasing the retail investors' community over the past two decades by providing a wide variety of market and investment options. However, it makes much more complex in their investment decisions process. Expected utility theory views the individual investment decision as a tradeoff between immediate consumption and differed consumption. But individuals do not always prefer according to the classical theory of economics. Recent studies on individual investor behavior have shown that they do not act in a rational manner, rather several factors influence their investment decisions in stockmarket.It will be useful to examine whether some psychological and contextual factors affect individual investor behavior .Based on the previous literature on economics, finance and psychology ,individual investors were surveyed to find what and to what extent affects their investment behahiourIt is widely believed that investment behavior of individual investors influence the prices of stocks rarely. Therefore majority of the trading strategies and stock market policies are formulated with a focus only on institutional investors. This paper aims at identifying the factors influencing the retail investor's attitude.In this study principal component analysis is used to find out the determinants of individual investment behavior The psychological factors that may drive the individual investors are identified by using Principal Component Analysis. The present study provides five major factors that can influence investor behavior in Indian stock market. The findings may be helpful to design relevant investment strategies according to their personal characteristics so as to realize optimum return on their investment.

Abstract: With increasing globalization of investments in recent years, it is becoming more important for investors to have better understanding of the Nigerian Property Markets. This paper aims to explore perceptions of market maturity and issues of importance for investment in the property markets. Maturity is a key concept in investors' decision making as it takes into account the nature and evolution of the markets as well as their economic, social and institutional condition. Interview guide and questionnaire was used to elicit information from Estate Surveyors and Valuers, real estate financiers and real estate investors. The information collated shows that Nigeria Property Market is highly immature due to unsound financial and economic structure, strength and stability of the economy, market openness, low level of professionalism, lack of information availability and standardization and culture. The paper therefore recommends that government should develop a workable framework and environment to improve on existing data.

Abstract:The convergence of technology, business and communication brings several changes in the way of doing banking business. The development in the field of ubiquitous computing adds another dimension to traditional E-Banking in the form of U- Banking. It stands for a world in which customers can approach to any net work from any place and in any time by using various technology devices in order to get unique and personalized service. It includes banking transactions in all directions in a ubiquitous environment. The emergence of U- Banking could be viewed as an extension of E-Banking and M-Banking. This paper aims to clarify the concept of U-Banking as well as to identify its components and major challenges.
