...years ago, helping to justify valuations that are more on par with companies in developed countries. In fact, some emerging-market sectors look very cheap. Manufacturers of technology products, such as computers, are trading at an average discount of almost 20% to their industrial-country peers, even though they enjoy significantly higher earnings growth. No bubble there. Nor is there a bubble in South Korea, where the average P/E based on projected earnings is less than 12, nor is there in Turkey, where the average P/E is 10.6 - just to mention two countries where stocks are not overpriced...

...women may enjoy getting dressed up and claim that we try to look beautiful “for ourselves.” But this enjoyment has an unpleasant corollary. Bad hair or a flawed outfit can poison our delight at any given moment in a way that our male friends never have to fear. Perhaps it is not, in fact, a solid hour and a half of displeasure, but 90 individual minutes of self-doubt that prevent us from enjoying ourselves fully...
