tipster, remember, reality doesn't influence actions, perception does. reality carries a big stick, but there are a lot of numb folks out there ;-) billhas keyed in on the perception that is driving this nonsense - and if not driving it, enabling it or rationalizing it. i'm w/ you. everyone is wrong and their *ss will be tarred and feathered. p-p-p-p-please let me out of the market before it happens ;-)

<<Why do you see it as such a important shift?>> Maybe I'm also reading you wrong, but if you don't see how the explosive growth in the employment of technology has led to important global economic, political and societal shifts then I'm not the best person to explain it. I'm simply saying that technological advances have reached a critical mass that's led to and is leading to sweeping changes throughout society, including speeding up geo-political evolution (and for more than a few future revolutions). When significant economic and technological changes occur (and you touched upon a few that are beneficial to consumers) and reach a point of critical mass, the transition is generally not a smooth one for financial markets.
