Investing sure is value-added. It allows companies to start, expand and fund new products and services. This is one of the key reasons for the incredible US econ expansion- having $$ avail for small co's starting up and growing and hiring more people. The vast bulk of new jobs come from small co's- many of them get their funding from the investmenet communities, private or public. Imagne any of this happening in France or England. not likely.

>>Mr. G. said at his Boston College speech last week that the surprising strength of this economy was due to increasing the efficiency created by the internet in all kinds of ways.<< mr g is wrong... or lying... the economy is strong b/c of demand cause by a bubble stock market based upon a credit bubble and phony economic numbers - both of which alan.com control. ever heard of "chained" dollars? they are the difference between the new economy and the old economy. too bad they are an arbitrary statistical adjustment alan.com and company started in 1996. the basis appears to be economic numbers that alan.com didn't like so he changed the numbers. inflation would be running waaaay out of control except for gobs and gobs and gobs of foreign excess capacity that is lining up to meet our buble market induced demand. alan.com has been fomenting a bubble and when it unravels, look out below. if you don't think i'm right then write a letter to alan.com and ask him why he is scared to take the gobs of cash he injected into the system for y2k away. not sure what he'll say, but the fact is he's relying on pure, unadulterated cash and credit to keep this economy booming and not the internet. watch what alan.com does, not what he says.
