Sharecropping happened after the civil war during reconstruction.  White landowners would let former slaves and poor white farmers farm their land, then the 2 would share the profits from the crops.

Don't listen to idiots who tell you to play with stocks. I don't believe in investing in common shares of anything. Use your money to buy land. \nWith decent credit and $20k liquid cash you are able to control around $200,000+- worth of property.. \n  \n       Buy large parcels of land and parcel it out. \nYou can usually at least double your money that way.\nMake sure you do some research and see that zoning will allow it,\n    If that doesn't work out you could always flip residential property.

Repos, swaps, swaptions, etc are the exchange of one thing for another. Often, someone with floating rate debt liability will want to "fix" that...so, they 'swap' it for fixed rate. Repos are the lending/borrowing of instruments for a short period of time. Derivatives essentially make risk transfer easier. IE, a future is a derivative of the underlying. If I am a farmer, and i have just finished planting corn...I know that in Sept I will be harvesting that corn. I know how much i spent on corn seed. i know how much i spent on fuel to plant, i know what water and fertilizer cost, what my mortgage and living expenses are...everything. Everything EXCEPT what I will get for my corn in September. Well, I can turn that variable into a fixed amount by SELLING September corn futures. That is, I agree that in sept, i will deliver corn at whatever dollar price i have agreed. Who would buy sept corn futures?? Well, who will be producing corn products in sept??? How about kellogg??? They KNOW they will still be making corn flakes...they know what their labor costs are...their factory costs etc etc...but they don't know corn PRICES in sept. So, they can go and buy sept corn futures. Futures can help both buyers and sellers of commodities....and futures are traded on just about anything you can think of.

Yeah there are college courses for that.  They're called Agricultural Science and I know a lot of people that have done it in college and have gone on to do farming.  Most people that are interested in it come from a farming background already, but they're all happy with their jobs and as everyone knows farmers are loaded.

Although the question is not entirely clear, I'll take a stab at it.\n\nShares typically mean shares of stock in a specific company, e.g. shares of stock in Microsoft.\n\nFunds typically refers to Mutual Funds.  Mutual Funds (of the equity variety) own shares of stock in many companies, thus diversifying risk for the investor.  An investor in a mutual funds, in essence, owns a pro rata share of all the stocks that the mutual fund owns.

A community is an amalgamation of living things that share an environment. The individual living beings can be plant or animal; any species; any size. What characterizes a community is sharing interaction in many ways. In human communities, intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs and a multitude of other conditions may be present and common, affecting the degree of adhesion within the mixture, but the definitive driver of community is that all individual subjects in the mix have something in common. This is even true in biological communities.

Sharing has its perks.  You will always have somebody to talk with and go out to lunch with.  Learning how to live with a stranger is great training for marriage too.  Get Bunk beds however. lol
