Gene,
RE: My point is that all the extra information may surprisingly UNhelpful in the short term, and our inflated returns, which we think are occurring because of our intelligence and our access to more information, may only be happening because of one of the greatest bull markets in history.

So what makes you think that this extraordinary bull market and its'
short corrections and massive gains aren't being driven by the
dynamics of the available information flow to investors. Yes, I know
that the "Boomers" are saving for retirement via the market and the
funds, but that is not the entire market. Funds are also being
analysed by consumers via the information flow to select the investment vehicle that best suits their strategy.

I agree that sometimes the information is somewhat overwhelming but
one must "read between the lines" and analyze/filter the information and make decisions based on relevant available info that
could, or will, ultimately have an impact on when and how we invest.
At least now we have the ammo to fight the war, before we were using
sticks and luck to time our investment strategies. I'd be willing to
bet that no one would be willing to give up their new "tools" and
return to the "good ole days" without a fight. To steal an analogy that I have seen on a bumper sticker:" You can have my computer when
you pry it from my cold, dead hands."

Just my opinion,
BB
