Then there's the most baffling advice of all: Talk to it, in a calm, firm voice, of course. Supposing I could muster anything more impressive than a hoarse squeak, what exactly would I talk to it about?

The net assets of stock funds have jumped nearly 75%, to $1.53 trillion, since January 1995 alone. Fresh cash has been arriving this year at the rate of more than $20 billion a month.
