Why spotting bubbles is so much harder than you think
By Morgan Housel

A growing group of pessimists are asking whether the stock market is back to bubble territory. Some are even comparing it to 1999. They say stocks are being inflated by the Fed. That they're disconnected from the reality of a weak economy. That they're overvalued and bound to fall.

Could they be right? Of course

Step By Step: A Daily Program for Self-improvement
Compiled by Rabbi Dovid Weinberger

There are no days off for Olympic hopefuls. If you want to be a champion, you have to practice every single day. The same is true if you want to be a "mentsh." This daily program will help you become a better person by working on a single character trait each week. If one week's area of improvement -- or the author -- doesn't interest you, try another.

THIS WEEK: FAITH by Rabbi Shalom Arush

TODAY: Livelihood: By the Sweat of Your Brow?
