Doug R: You asked a lot of questions but provided no observations that might have served as answers in favor of the bias you intended to create with the rhetoric of your post. Yikes, sorry,..just an observation offered as constructive criticism.
Well I intended them as rhetorical, as much of what I eluded to seems to me, to be in the “common knowledge” category.
Point: 1) Do you think the US Baby Boomers are saving better now, than the Japanese were in the late eighties?
Do you disagree? I thought it pretty much common knowledge that the Japanese were doing a lot better job of saving than Americans. I guess I could search the web for a link that would support my position, but thought it really was not necessary.
Point: 2) And do you think the Japanese were not putting a considerable sum of their savings in to equities?
Do you disagree? I thought that was as well common knowledge. I guess I could search the web for a link that would support my position, but thought it really was not necessary.
Both of the above points have been reported in many forums and often over the course of the eighties and nineties. I think I have personally seen them reported on the nightly news, magazine style TV shows such as “60 minutes” and have read about the above points in various financial publications. So, I guess I did not feel the need to waste my time and dig up some links to support what I felt to be “common knowledge”.
In addition, I did not feel the need to add conjecture!
Let me ask you a question. For every point you make or position your take in your post, do you always footnote them with supportive references or provide links to support them? I bet not.
Sorry to but in here........BUT
Seems in you zest to do so, you contributed nothing. Seems we have the kettle calling the pot black, my friend!
