Bonnie,
Thanks for the reply.

>>>1) learn about bonds and the bond market too. zero-coupon treasury bonds outperform most stock funds.<<<

Where can I do this? Do you recommend any reading?

>>>Keep an eye on China and India for a new tech cycle, they will need to reinvent the PC to make it useful, computers don't have to think in English.<<<

I was under the impression that most Indians are proficient in English, largely as a result of the time of British rule. And that this is why they are making headway into Silicon Valley as software engineers.

>>We have this fantasy in this country about forcing the rest of the world to learn English, but this represents intellectual genocide of 95% of the world's culture.<<

My viewpoint is totally based on my limited knowledge of the rest of the world, but if I had to guess between the rest of the world learning English versus the rest of the world developing technology in their own languages, I would go with the former.
