if biz a is growing at 10% in 1997 and 13% in 1999, it is ABSOLUTELY TRUE that that growth increased 30% (13-10)/10. that is what i did. hopefully this is simplified enough that you can understand what was done. the comparison was 1998 to 1997. that means 1997 is the basis. the number happened to be lower. there is no other way to compare to 1997. period. that is why you went to 1996. the graph of market share LOSS looks like this: . . . . . we'll see what next year brings, but clearly the positive trend has reversed - and that is what you tried to hide... >>BTW, you have some nerve! I had mentioned to you in 2 earlier posts that asse price increase through short term trading in the absence of any fundamental change is simply inflationary, hence short term trading is a zero sum game.<< bgr, be honest now. your first post on this subject didn't have any conditions. when i said you were wrong, you asked me why. i said that if the economy grows then stock prices can go up and short term trading isn't, of necessity a zero sum game. uin fact, i told you that it is rarely a zero sum game - if ever. why? it is either negative or positive - rarely in the middle (excluding or including commissions!). since the s&p earnings have grown maybe 1-2% and the index is up over 20%, are you saying these folks can't buy more with the 20%? are eggs up 20% too? ;-) when do you expect the market to give up all this asset inflation. specifically, let's talk about dell. growth has slowed and the stock price is still very high. when will this inflated asset conme back to earth? i do see you understand the concept, though. that is a start. and probably the end! ;-)
