This thread is a place where I let myself go free, what comes out is sometime banal sometime good but I do myself fail to understand that how can I make such comparisons. For me I am driven by very simple plain logic my thinking borders on conventioanl wisdom and may be a shred of intelligence, the two combine has helped me steer through what appears to be a meandering course of markets.. Thanks that you appreciate it.. as always best regards..

All of this may very well be true but at some point it is priced into the market, or the market has caught up wouldn't you have to say. If these advances create growth etc. then at some point they plain out. Maybe at 10% per year, 20%, 25%, I do not know. But you must agree it won't continue at the rate the market has increased in the last few years. So the market has been catching up, or has caught up and now evening out or has over run a little and is backing off to level out at the true growth rate. But at some point the market will run at about the same rate as growth or at least average it wouldn't you think? And unless you think the growth rate will be 40-50% the markets have to slow down somewhere. Don't know where that is but just a thought. boots
