Good attempt. I subscribe to the Economist and have read the most recent issue (2/8/8). I think your excerpt could be made more stock-market-specific. Cut out those that are strongly politically influenced (such as the one that attracted the first comment before mine) -- in any case, Economist's political bent, with tinges of 19th century imperialist residue, is not my cup of tea.
