With regard to the Fed, it seems to be anyones guess (but still enjoy hearing pro and con opinions). I would like to see them raise interest rates because I believe there is already enough data to show that inflation is creeping back into the economy. I rather like the idea of not having to worry about having to find a job especially since, at one time, I was a job hopping fool. However, as the demand for trained workers increases, so do the wages which must be paid to entice their employment. The higher the wages must go, it makes perfect sense to me that a rise in prices will surely follow. With regard to the web services stocks, I'm already wondering just how high is too high. I'm thinking that the key here is, as you stated, talent, but what I'm wondering is, how can one really know who has it, who will be able to keep it, and hence how those two factors alone can in any way give one comfort that a stock like VIAN deserves what seems to me a rich valuation already. The smaller caps finally seem to be benefiting from the "high tide" effect. I'm thinking that is where the money will be made by way of valuation comparisons to more well known companies (unless, heaven forbid, we get another good 'ol fashion correction).
