ATTENTION: Dateline Jan. 28, 1999.
The business cycle has been repealed. Repeat- The business cycle has been repealed.

In a shocking announcement today, Treasury Secretary Paul Rubin, and President Bill Clinton called a press conference to make it official. "Recessions have been permanently exterminated. All Americans will become wealthy beyond their wildest dreams if they only invest in the U.S. stock market." Rubin announced.

The stock market has officially been declared safe for all. The announcement went further, guaranteeing low interest rates and zero risks in equities. "We have achieved financial nirvana" Clinton added, "Due to my great economic policies, we have entered a 'new paridigm' of prosperity. The national debt will soon be erased with our investment of tax dollars into internet IPO's."

A skeptical group of independent investors, calling themselves the 'Naked Truths', had a different view however. "Complete horse sh*t", muttered one.
