“Near the top of the market, investors are extraordinarily optimistic because they've seen mostly higher prices for a year or two. The sell-offs witnessed during that span were usually brief. Even when they were severe, the market bounced back quickly and always rose to loftier levels. At the top, optimism is king, speculation is running wild, stocks carry high price/earnings ratios, and liquidity has evaporated. A small rise in interest rates can easily be the catalyst for triggering a bear market at that point.” YearsTwoRunningInterestLevelsBearsKingsHigherOptimismSellsRoseRateOptimisticInvestorsEarningSevereSpeculationCatalystRatiosInterest RateHigh PricesLiquidityRunning Wild Author:Martin Zweig

“Today the crime novelist has one advantage denied to writers of 'straight' or 'literary' novels. Unlike them he can range over all levels of society, for crime can easily breach the barriers that exist in our stratified society. Because of these barriers the modern literary novel, unlike its 19th-century predecessors, is often confined to the horizontal, dealing only with one class. But crime runs through society from top to bottom, and so the crime novelist can present a fuller picture of the way we live now.” WayBookRunningTodayLanguageLevelsClassNovelModernCenturyCrimeAdvantageBottomRangeNovelistsBarriersDeniedConfined19th CenturyPredecessorsBreachHorizontal Book:Life & Letters: The Spectator Columns Source: Life & Letters: The Spectator Columns
