dale sinor: Remember Ford's assembly line...it led to a dramatic increase in productivity. This "new era" thinking is not new. Interest rates, productivity, equity PE ratios, business/consumer indebtedness...these relationships eventually equalize...always! Regards, LG

Spiritual Machine Is An Oxymoron There is the Infinite and there is the finite. The problem is not with the Infinite. Nor is it really with the finite, rather it is with our infinite desire for the finite. Man does not live by WEB alone. You can order food on the WEB but we still have not solved the problem <gg> of having to eat real, rather than virtual food. Did you know that more than half the people on the planet have never made a phone call. (Buy T ...well maybe not they are really not doing well 61 at the end of March closed at 33 1/2 today.)

wrong...because for every $1 in GDP growth last year, $5,30 in new credit was created. thus, we are experiencing a credit induced crack-up boom, a.k.a 'bubble'. you may have noticed that in terms of stock valuations this particular bubble has already left all previously experienced extremes way behind as the NAZ p/e hit 256 at the height of the mania. in this sense it's different... i would say that possibly higher valuations can be justified to some degree, for various reasons, mainly the ones relating to technological progress. however, it has gone way too far, due to the explosion in money supply growth administered by easy Al.
