Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Zweig is trying to find out who wrote the following “article,” which appeared more than 20 years ago.

Zweig writes, “And, while it is steeped in the experience of the mid-1990s, when it must have been written, it would have gotten a laugh in 1929 and probably will still be funny 50 years from now.

“This version is from a photocopy in my files, which I made some 20 years ago from a reproduction of it in the monthly ‘Green Book’ of investment research published by the Leuthold Group.

“Does anybody out there know who is responsible for this little blast of brilliance? I would love to find, and credit, the original author(s).”
