Regardless, the Harlem rally both highlighted and increased the racial tensions in New York. But the worst was yet to come. Two days later, on Labor Day, a group of volunteer firefighters entered a float in the annual parade through the quiet, isolated Queens neighborhood of Broad Channel. The group had won the award for funniest float nine years in a row, with themes that often mocked minorities including Jews and gays, with titles like "Hasidic Park" (a parody of Jurassic Park) and "Gooks of Hazzard...
...despite years of the most egregious corruption and nepotism sanctioned by President Suharto. Apologists argued that funneling contracts to his children did not matter too much since the projects--new roads, factories, airports--did get built. If they cost more than they should have, the projects still contributed to annual economic growth of more than 6.5% for 25 years. When the "corruption surcharge" helped destroy the rupiah and emergency austerity measures threatened to starve a population where almost 50% are now on or below the poverty line, riots drove Suharto from office. In his place came the eccentric B.J. Habibie...
...average annual returns from stocks is officially over. Accept it. The market, up as much as 19% this year, has given it all back and could easily finish the year with more losses.

That's part of what has Wall Street so angst ridden, and it's why the investment game has changed fundamentally over the past few weeks. When...
...long-term security; that is, for any money you won't need for at least three years. In 50 rolling three-year periods since 1946, the market produced losses only twice--the periods ending in 1974 and 1975, according to the Schwab Center for Investment Research. The average annual return to stocks in the postwar period has been about 11%--far more than for any other financial asset. But as last week reminded us, we do get bear markets. If you'll need the money sooner than three years, it belongs in a bank CD, a money-market account...
...Valuations matter. There are companies behind those pieces of paper we call stocks. If a company's fortunes sink, so eventually will its stock. Beware of any company whose price-earnings multiple is greater than the expected annual growth rate for its earnings over the next few years. For example, Coca-Cola's P/E, even now, is 40; its earnings could rise 15% a year. That's definitely not the real thing...
