...and I'm not just talking about what happens when the market is down.  I'm talking about covering this subject - it's definitely not an easy one!  We had a lot of discussion in our rundown meeting on how to approach this story, and we did our best to give you a basic but clear idea of what it means when the market is on the rise or on the slide.

One thing I really like is the report that follows it.  When the U.S. market suffers, officials from around the world pay close attention because international markets have a way of influencing each other.  It's a little like one bowling pin tumbling into another, though I bet my economics teacher would've explained that differently...
