Mr. Bush cites record home ownership and a rising investor class.

Each of the settlements negotiated so far, including the one reached yesterday, are subject to court approval after notice to the investor class and a hearing.

Why did the candidate who was supposed to represent the aspirations of the "investor class" reject all the candidates proposed from the investment community?

As such he achieved cult-like status within the investor class.

He must also respond to an emboldened investor class, armed and ready to challenge managers more sharply than at any time in recent memory.

Perhaps it's not capitalism that's the problem here but the greed of the (large) investor class.

Does the collective wisdom of the investor class perceive an imminent, vigorous recovery that is invisible in the data?

But having the power to place financial bets should not confer primary power to the investor class.

Attitudes have changed as the investor class has swelled and ordinary Americans play the stock market.

But some liberal analysts said an investor class, at least as a mass phenomenon, was a political marketing myth.
