| draft1.txt | The stock exchange predicts a bull market which would make many investors happy. | 
| draft2.txt | The stock exchange predicts a bull market which would make many investors happy, |
|            | but analysts warn of possibility of too much optimism and that in fact we are    |
|            | awaiting a bear market.                                                          | 
| draft3.txt | The stock exchange predicts a bull market which would make many investors happy, |
|            | but analysts warn of possibility of too much optimism and that in fact we are    |

|            | game and all investors should follow their instincts and best practices.         |
