Before television became popular among households, radio had been the center of a living room. We listened excitedly to the sound popping out of the radio, so to speak, a small magic box. Those who grow up with television must think that radio would be inferior to television in terms of expressive power. However, radio, which lacks visual expression, had made our minds more imaginative all the better for it.
This index is calculated and published by Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) in the United States on the basis of the volatility of options trading for the S&P 500 Stock Index. It is an index called “Investor Fear Gauge,” also known as the Volatility Index (abbreviated as VIX) in English.
It is said to be an index that reflects investors’ sentiment regarding the future market, and in general, the higher the VIX value, the stronger the uncertainty of investors.
Normally, it tends to move between 10 and 20, but when there is great uncertainty about the future of the market, this index tends to rise significantly.
"Bail-out" refers to a rescue method in which a third party such as the government provides funds to financial institutions in financial crisis to rescue them from bankruptcy. Injecting taxes into corporate bail-outs has often caused a great deal of opposition from taxpayers, and regulators around the world are arguing that a bail-in approach should be adopted.
"Bail-in" refers to a rescue method in which creditors pay financial institutions in financial crisis in the form of debt reduction or exemption, deferment of repayment, or conversion to common stock, etc., and rescue them from bankruptcy. At the time of the Lehman shock, the US government used a bail-out method in which public funds were invested to bail-out, which angered taxpayers, and the Financial Stability Board (FSB), which consists of G20 regulators and central banks, launched a plan to formulate this bail-in method as an international rule as a way to avoid bailouts of banks that invested public funds.

An emerging country is one whose economy is not yet fully developed yet either was in the recent past or very likely will be in the near future. Emerging countries are also known as emerging economies because the emphasis is on their economic development. There are some emerging countries that you have probably heard of and some that may be less familiar. Nevertheless, pay attention to these countries – you probably buy food that was grown there or wear clothes that were made there. You will probably hear more about these countries soon.
There are several different indices by which a country is measured as being emerging. The most recognized of these indices is the International Monetary Fund, which monitors economic development around the world and provides monetary assistance to developing countries.
Some of the most rapidly emerging countries include Brazil, Turkey, Russia, India, and China. Other emerging countries include the oil-rich countries of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, and Iraq. Many of these countries are immensely wealthy because of their oil exports, yet that wealth does not come from a well-developed private sector and job growth. Because these countries depend almost exclusively on a single resource – oil – for their growth, a collapse in oil prices could set their economics back decades.
