Dow Tumbles
In Anticipation of Section 5 Unveiling

Signs
like this were too much for
investors. |
Hanover,
NH: The tantalizing marketing
campaign unleashed by Section 5 is
causing a massive frenzy of media
attention, distracting investors and
traders all over the world.
Yesterday, the excitement and chaos set
off a chain reaction in the financial
markets, and the Dow tumbled 416 points.
It all started in Shanghai. Rumors
about Section 5 --that it was actually a
code name for a bill introducing a capital
gains tax--swept through the Chinese
financial community. Investors
dumped shares as quickly as they could
in an attempt to lock in their gains
tax-free.
Computer technicians on Wall Street left
their posts and drove to Hanover, hoping
to see first hand just what Section 5 is
all about. Those that remained
behind were unable to handle the heavy
trading volumes, and various computer
glitches resulted that only increased
investors' panic.
So what is Section 5?

This much is sure: the entire world
is eagerly awaiting the announcement
tomorrow.
