Barry Ritholtz: "When discuss=ng bull and bear markets, it sometimes helps to think of them as coming in=two distinct flavors: short-term cyclical markets and long-term secular on=s. Knowing one from the other isn't always easy." Read more...

TECH

Leonid Bershidsky: "Swiss wat=hmakers seem to be scrambling to respond to the challenge posed by smartwa=ch producers after ignoring them for years. The perceived slowness to embr=ce the wearable revolution isn't ignorance or hubris. It's marketing wisdo=." Read more...<=span>

HEALTH-CARE REFORM

The Editors: "Congress is wit=in reach of trashing the old and unworkable formula that Medicare uses to =ay doctors. By itself, this is what it sounds like -- a bureaucratic maneu=er that matters little to anyone but the doctors who treat Medicare patien=s. The system that Congress replaces it with, however, could represent a b=g step forward in improving the quality, and lowering the cost, of everyon='s health care." Read =ore...

SPORTS

Kavitha A. Davidson: "Nationa= Football League owners will meet next week in Phoenix and discuss, among =ther things, 23 proposed rule changes, 19 of which were submitted by indiv=dual teams. Many of them stand no chance of approval, but the bulk of them=are aimed at improving the league's system of challenges and instant repla=s. At the very least, the proposals offer an interesting glimpse into the =indset of certain teams." Read more...
