...unquestioning faith in the ability of China's soaring stock market to defy gravity has become worryingly common among Chinese investors-so common that market observers and government officials are warning that a market correction might be on the way. Emboldened by a 130% rise in the Shanghai Composite Index last year-which made Shanghai one of the best-performing exchanges in the world-starry-eyed speculators and first-time punters like Du have been storming into Chinese stocks, ending the market's five-year slump and in recent weeks pushing daily trading volumes to all-time records. Last year...

Within hours, rumors had linked the unusual investigation to disgraced Wall Street Arbitrager Ivan Boesky, and a whiff of panic spread throughout the London Stock Exchange.

Sometimes it's not who you like, it's who you know. That's the important axiom to remember at this stage of the presidential race, when polls say far more about name recognition than they do about actual likely victory.

The Index--hatched in a conversation between our pollster, Mark Schulman, and our national political correspondent, Karen Tumulty, who wrote the introduction to this week's cover--plots the amount of support that candidates attract against how much...
...track voter sentiment--and candidates' odds of winning--TIME is launching the Election Index, a regular feature that will pinpoint the intersection of how much Americans know about each candidate and how much they like what they see. The surprising news is that this week's Election Index puts former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani ahead of Arizona Senator John McCain, despite the latter's formidable organization and resources, for the top spot in the G.O.P. Hillary Clinton leads the Democrats, but the Election Index (see page 34) shows she has slightly less potential general-election support than Giuliani...
