<< Econ 101 states that in the absence of increased demand, an increase in price will decrease demand. It has always been that way, and will always be that way. >>

Jock, IMO your explanation is a little overly simplistic. What you say may be true of products or services where demand is relatively elastic, but does not necessarily apply where demand is inelastic.

For examples, I give you light bulbs, flour, and grass seed.

And, in fact, in the case of investments, I would suggest to you that higher stock prices also actually play their role in creating higher demand than previously. Examples are all around.
