On August 3, the DJIA opened higher. The financial news media quickly explained why: "Stocks gained at the open Wednesday...after a reading on private sector employment came in stronger than expected." That makes sense, doesn't it?

So, there's no time like the present to start learning a few key German phrases to welcome Wall Street's would-be financial in-laws. The four expressions below make for a fitting introduction:

Current Echoes of the Old Mania
EWI's May Financial Forecast reveals whether these familiar notes are the sounds of a new bull market
By Nico Isaac

In the decade leading to the end of the Great Asset Mania in 2007, a rising tide of credit expansion drove many major financial market trends in remarkable harmony.
