Is The Bull Market Going To Last? : A 5 page paper
discussing whether the bear is ever going to return. There
are some hard and fast rules within the universe. Until the
early 1990s, one had been that the stock market would rise
until stock values had reached a point at which they were
overvalued in some degree, then they would correct. We
have no reason to believe that rule will not activate in any
given year or even tomorrow. But the interval of the cycle
has certainly been stretched beyond the limits of anyones
imagination only a few years ago. Bibliography lists 6

Market Correction Through Governmental Regulation :
8 pages in length. We learn from economics texts that for
every economic imbalance that occurs, there is a corrective
reaction that occurs to reestablish equilibrium. Those
corrective actions are not immediate though, and sometimes
they seemingly take forever. Arguing in favor of
government control is not to say that businesses need to be
regulated in their ability to operate or to make their own
decisions, and in fact they need to be encouraged to develop
new products and services to be able to remain competitive.
Government regulation is required in financial sectors to
control those market flaws that cannot be otherwise
corrected. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Govtreg.wps
