FYI: The television wasn’t working when I walked into the waiting room of the cardiology office earlier this week. Minutes later, when it was fixed and showing minute-by-minute stock-market action, the collective pulse and blood pressure of the room picked up dramatically.
Seated to my left was George, who by Tuesday morning — after watching the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.07% decline by more than 1,100 points during the two previous trading days — was telling his wife that they needed to change fall travel plans to save money.
Regards,
Ted
