market reached it's crest on
May II, stalled for a couple
Of weeks, movd close to the
peak on June 6, then receded
rapidly.
At its height, the advance
was based on anticipations of
a business recovery amid con-
fidence that the Kennedy ad-
miniStration would take vigor-
Gus steps not only against the
recession but also to bolster
defenseS and firm up the coun-
try's position internationally
Enthusiasm quickly cooled
late in the spring as a scandal
broke on the American Ex-
change, bringing an inveStiga-
ton by the Securities and Ex-
change Commission.
