By George, he's got it! IMHO, that's what's largely driving the market. There's a good ten more years before the baby boomers are into Leisure World and they will continue to invest in the market. I sincerely doubt that gold will be the ticket. Gold ain't no Viagra (i.e., ain't sexy enough). There will, of course, be corrections---but a long term bear. I doubt it. OTOH, there sure is some irrational exuberance in some areas (KTEL, 'net stocks, etc.) Some say that's one sign of a market top. I'll go out on a ledge: We'll see Dow 10,000 before we see Dow 7500ish. (NB: I do not like to eat my words)
