Fred Gardner understood, as a financial writer and stock trader that the stock market is as entertaining and frustrating as your best friend. Gardner's work reminds us that the market is that way because its moves, first and foremost, are more often than not based upon investor emotion. Throughout the years analysts have used various tools to make the stock market more tangible. Although much of this work was written over thirty years ago, and distilled over a reporter's lifetime, its timeless nature makes it feel as if it was written yesterday. This unique collection of stock market poetry and prose invites us to remember that a long-term investment in the market is taking a stake in America's future. Indeed, the emergence of "Wall Street" into popular culture makes real perspective a rare commodity. The Bull Grows Up will serve as an entertaining roadmap for everyone from the sideline observer to the practiced speculator.
