Mr. Complicated: Henry, WOW, I'm surprised you sold 1000 of your automobiles. Who were the suckers? Just one question, chump, I noticed you have to fill these things up with gas every 20 miles. Are you telling me there are going to be fuel stations all over the USA on these imaginary roads you speak of too? HAHAHAHAHAAH, you looser. Mr Ford: You really are an annoying person. I have a vision Sir. Yes, I believe one day there will be roads all over this great country of ours. I believe there will be fuel stations all over the country and these will employ millions of people. I see millions of automobiles all over the USA, I see new businesses being started all because of my automobile. I also believe because of my automobile, people will become rich for hundreds of years, due to spin off business and industries. My offer is still on the table, but the price has gone up, I will offer you 20,000 shares for $2,000.00. Mr. Complicated: HAHAHAHAHAH, what the heck are you smoking chump? 2,000.00 bucks, ahahahahahahahahaahah, I am going to invest the rest of my wealth in whale oil. I think whale oil is in a slump and I believe it will come back making me rich. Mr. Ford: Good luck with your investments Sir. Good day.

Do you have anything at all to add? I'm arguing that demographics are driving the economy, and that individuals are valuing the future above the old value based models... And the trend into these sort of future-expectation based equities will only increase over time as portfolio performance becomes a self re-inforcing trend, and all the jonses jump in to try and capture some of the returns their friends are having. You sound like one of those bitter value-added types who'se missed the whole of the last coupla years run. You probably shorted AMZN @ 8, and are dazed and confused. "Keep It Simple" is a fitting name.
