In and Out
The Economy at the New Century
The stock market is in a transition: from the old economy to the new economy. But the transition is not smooth. Daily volume records are being broken as fast as they are made thanks to the extended economic boom, higher interest rates and questions about the value of new economy stocks.

Market gains this year may be muted, and leadership may come from both "in and out" sectors of the economy.
