This would give a lift to investors and pull large sums of money into the stock market, including much capital from abroad, to finance the creation of new enterprises and the expansion and modernization of existing companies...
Counsels Cummings: "If the investor goes to a good dealer, doesn't look for bargains, buys good pictures and pays a proper price, I don't think he can lose."

...notion of art as roof gutter is nicely suited to Wain's thoughtful treatment of two middle-aged men joyfully making fools of themselves over younger women. In less knowing hands, The Pardoner's Tale might have been only a clever sex reversal on the stock English romance about a maiden schoolteacher's brief tryst in Italy. But instead of sentimentality, Wain offers genuine sentiments. Instead of passion enveloping quivering loins in petals of fire, there is a steady sensuous glow that warms the brain...
