In a bicycle race, the man who came two places in front of the last man finished one ahead of the man who came fifth. How many contestants were there?
...the man who came two places in front of the last man: Let the last three people in the race be x, y and z. This means our man is x and the last man is z and there is y in between them.
... finished one ahead of the man who came fifth: so x is one position ahead of the 5th guy, that means x is in the 4th position.
So if x is 4th position, y will be 5th position and z will be 6th position. So there are 6 people in the race

That growth environment will include rising inflation and interest rates. Those upward shifts naturally accompany healthy growth periods as the demand for resources, products and services rise. Importantly, the Federal Reserve has laid out the rationale for not interfering with that natural growth transition.It's not exactly a fad, but there is a widespread willingness to pay up for a growth story. Classic fundamental analysis takes a back seat. Even negative earnings are ignored. In fact, positive earnings seem to be a limiting measure, producing the question, "Is that all you've got?" The preference is a vision of untold riches when the exciting story plays out as expected.
