Responding to the Forces of the Flea Market
Article Abstract:
About twenty-five million used cars were sold in this country in 1983, and Eli More has found a unique way, at least for some Texans, to sell or buy used vehicles. The Houston Autofair Inc. rents twelve acres of pavement by the day, week, or month to people who want to sell their cars. More first observed this flea market approach to car sales in Israel, and brought it back to Houston. The Autofair attracts about 1,600 shoppers a day, and in its first year Autofair cleared over $250,000 from rental fees, as no admission or commission is charged.

Heavens Help Us
Article Abstract:
Astrology is being increasingly used in some circles to forecast stock market moves. Many astrological buffs combine technical analysis with astrology to chart stock moves. They use astrology as another indicator. The most important development for astrology today is the computer. Computers are able to easily perform the intricate calculations involved in drawing up a chart. Recent gatherings of stock analyst-astrologers do not show a consensus of opinion on the market. There are as many bearish analysts as bullish.
