A FINANCIAL NEWS REPORT“On Wall Street today, news of lower interest rates sent the stock market up,

but then the expectation that these rates would be inflationary sent the market down,

until the realization that lower rates might stimulate the sluggish economy pushed the market up,

before it ultimately went down on fears that an overheated economy would lead to a reimposition of higher interest rates.”

From a cartoon by Mankoff (October 12, 1981).

“Take two aspirin and wait!”

“If you have a headache and need to take aspirin, you don’t keep taking aspirin every five minutes until your headache goes away. You wait patiently for the aspirin to take effect, because you know that aspirin operates with a delay.”

From The Fifth Discipline, by Peter M. Senge, 1990.
