But just maybe a round number like Dow 11,000 will finally get investors to think about the upside of stocks again. If so, there are trillions of dollars in money market accounts, trillions more possibly looking to get out of real estate, and another trillion-plus of buying power collecting dust at private equity firms-much of which could move into the stock market and help topple the old record sooner rather than later...

Colliding proton beams at a combined energy of 14 trillion electron volts, it will start operation in 2007. The collider could produce particles such as the sought-after graviton believed to convey the gravitational force, or it could produce actual strings...
...cross-border strategies similar to Dollé's are the driving force. In Europe and globally, 2005 is poised to go down in the record books as the third best year for M&A activity in history.

The House spending bill trims four percent off the forecasted $1.6 trillion budget deficit. In a stunning juxtaposition, Congressional Republicans are also trying to pass a $70 billion tax cut bill, which overwhelmingly benefits well-off taxpayers. Even if this harsh spending bill passed Congress, the tax cut would still lead to a net increase in the budget deficit. All told, the House spending...
