Perhaps some of my observant read- ers have noticed the same peculiari- ties of the stock market. It is perfectly natural that when one wants to sell his goods he must ex- tol their merits and that if he wants to buy a property he should go about it quietly, and it he has knowledge of its merits should say as little as pos- sible about them until he has com- pleted the purchase.
