...Paine Webber's stock has dropped some 40 percent from a year-long high in mid-August to its current level at the end of trading Friday, but a spokesperson said the stock's volatility would have "no effect" on the company's recruiting plans...
...Russian-ruble cheap? So ugly that they scare the dog? The answer depends largely on whether you believe that interest rates will fall further and corporate earnings will hold up in the face of Asia's spreading ills.
