Wayne to porc: "designer-jeans" analogy like "bigger fool" theory.

<< Likewise, now that mutual funds are more "trendy" than designer
jeans, stocks sport prices higher than historical averages. When the
boomers retire, this trend will moderate. But, premium stock prices
won't necessarily disappear entirely -- just as pricey designer jeans
haven't disappeared entirely. >>

It is certainly possible. It just has nothing to do with value
investing. It sounds more like the greater fool theory, i.e., "I am
willing to own this overvalued security because another baby boomer
will buy if from me at an even more absurd price."

There are also economic implications to higher stock prices that
will force the corrections of the market place eventually.
