>>This is "conventional" wisdom. Centered around the mean age of the boomers.<<

Yes, it is. What, do you really expect to see original thinking on SI? :)

Conventional wisdom is not always wrong, though, particularly when it is supportable with easily verifiable fact.

>>The oldest of the boomers are retiring now!<<

Maybe retiring early now. The baby boom began after WWII and peaked around 1957, I believe. We should be good to go until 2010 +/-2. I am comfortable with this kind of macro market-timing.

>>Seems to me you are saying "it's going to go up for a while before it goes down"...<<

That's exactly what I am saying. It's not exactly a mind-blowing insight, but it is a very different position from "it has to go down now because valuations are too high and there's too much debt."
