Wall Street needs an historical dictionary.

Maybe Random House, Merriam Webster, or Oxford University Press can

publish one. I mean a big, great Wall Street block that you wouldn't want to

drop on your foot. Maybe tie the book in as a gift with a subscription to THE

WALL STREET JOURNAL or BARRON'S or FORBES or FORTUNE or BUSINESS WEEK

or THE

FINANCIAL TIMES or THE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE.

All these business books, all these business periodicals, all these

investors (with money!), AND NO DICTIONARY?? Oh sure, there's a book called

WALL STREET WORDS if you want to know the meaning of "IRA." But I mean a

real, historical dictionary. "Bulls" and "bears" to "white knights."

Historical cartoons included. I have piles on Wall Street terms.

Three Wall Street words in particular have been recently in the news (if

not in the dictionaries).
