The purpose of this study is to enhance understanding of early investment practices and the role financial and other information played in those practices. The primary method employed is to examine early books on investing published in the U.S. Early authors described stock market operations including manipulations of security prices by the bulls and the bears. Their solution to this manipulation was to educate investors and provide company information, mostly through directories and manuals. This study shows that financial and other information was thought by the authors to be critically important at the time that the securities markets were first called upon to provide capital to the railroad industry, the first modern business in America.

The new version, unveiled Friday by Gov. Gen. Michaëlle Jean and Prime Minister Stephen Harper during a ceremony in Ottawa, is called simply the Canadian Victoria Cross and it will be nearly identical to its British cousin. The most significant change will see the words "For Valour" changed to the Latin "Pro Valore." It will also be crafted from an alloy of three metals, while the original medal was made from Russian cannons captured in Crimea. The Canadian VC will be created from a piece of the cannon metal used to make the British medals, naturally occurring metals from across Canada, and a bronze Confederation medallion that was commissioned in 1867.
