>>I guess if we extend out the time horizon for expected future value out to infinity, anything is possible.<<

les, competing investments blow that view out of the water. pc asked me to name a better company than one he liked and recommended. it was yielding a very low % return (1-2%). i responded with a t-bill yielding 6+%. he wasn't expecting that answer and it left him speechless so he never replied.

why? my guess is that he knew, intellectually, that i was dead on. his company would never return better than a t-bill. however, stocks always go up 30% - to hell with rates of return and fundamentals.

buy that toyota corolla for $100k and hope somebody pays you $130k next year. i don't play that game.

btw, thanks for the great articles.
