Jason Zweig is my favorite columnist at the Wall Street Journal. Today he referred to a 1972 book by George Goodman (aka Adam Smith) titled “Supermoney”. It contained this paragraph:

Jason quoted this passage in reference to the current US stock market, but after yesterday’s presidential orders designed to dismantle attempts to fight global warming I think it is applicable there as well. We are all at a huge party, we all know it will end, but no one knows exactly when. Unfortunately, unlike the stock market, there is no way to leave this party early. The Black Horseman will come for all of us.
