Set on the eve of the last Great Market Crash, this is the story of Wilton X, a young stockbroker with MLPF&S, the acronym of his mentors. Fused by greed and fear, the world of securities constructs endless Walls of Worry and Slopes of Hope for their clients who grow more distracted every day. Here, Wilton pursues the most beautiful bankrupt orphan ever marketed and, already possessing health and height, he finds wealth, love, and himself.

The title FOR BEARS TO DANCE TO comes from Flaubert's Madame Bovary - "Words are the broken drums on which men beat tunes for bears to dance to when they long to move the stars to pity." It is the stock market bears who dance to Wilton's tunes before the Crash about to be visited on them, while their counterparts, the stock market bulls, go to inventive ruin.

Literary footnote:
The novel is a Spanish picaresque in which sub-plots germinate. El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha. It is a German Bildungsroman, as well, where the central character gains craft. Die Leiden des jungen Werther. And, of course, an American Guide Book. Huckleberry Finn, Catch-22. It is designed to assure every Master-Of-The-Universe that there is always a short cut...close, nearby, over the rise. Soon.
