...immense volume is a strongly bullish sign. They note that even when stock prices dipped briefly last week, they did not go down nearly as much as might have been predicted after so large and so rapid a climb. "We are surprised that the market has run so fast and performed so consistently," says Gary Helms, chief investment strategist at L.F. Rothschild...
...year ago, West Germany's Volkswagenwerk AG was fast running out of gas. In 1974 it had lost a staggering $313 million-more than any of the world's business organizations except Britain's government-owned National Coal Board (1974 loss: $316 million).

"I have no desire to spend the rest of my life interviewing actors. That...
...this particular rabbit had a fast line of back talk, a keen sense of irony and an indomitable lust for survival. Cartoon heroes, if you think about it, tend to be victims. Either that or insufferable, like Mickey Mouse. Only Bugs Bunny managed to triumph in his struggles against an assortment of splenetic aggressors without ever getting smug...
