Vell, yumping Yimminy, yust look at those Futures. Here ve go again. Now in Ireland Dell has gone from 1500 to 3000 to 5680 and now heading for 6280 employees which works out to about double each year. (if I am not mistaken, which sometimes happens, or perhaps often, if I am not mistaken) (see Leigh's post)(G) Sig

Re: "On the other side of the coin, the economy in general is much, MUCH more dependent on the equity markets now than it was in the historical periods I cited above. That worries me, too. " Would you happen to know where (if) there may be any records of "boom's" from 1944 to present? I.E. Were companies like Gerber (baby food) doing much better between 1945-1955 than at any other time in their history? And were schools, teachers and related equipment doing much better between 1955-1965? Did the "me" generation have anything to do with the "baby boomers"? Did record sales of Elvis, the Beatles etc skyrocket and set new sales records due to the age and habits of the "baby boomers"? When did car sales take off? When did home sales skyrocket? and when did the stock market's greatest bull run begin? What caused that extended bear market in the 70's and the strong energy returns? Could it have been the teenage baby boomer's driving down the strips and highways showing off their new cars and not having a care or thought about the stock market? Where do you suppose the next boom will occur and create changes never before seen in history? Leisure and retirement living? later followed by health and hospital care and funeral services? I'm not sure if there are any such records but it would be interesting to see just how much correlation there is between the baby boomer's and the market's record breaking run? And especially the fact that no other past logic seems to matter. I would not put too much measurement into what happened in the past unless the effects of what the biggest part of the population - the baby boomers, was doing at that time, was factored into that measurement.
