Rumpel, This is the sort of illusory fundamentals that they trot-out when the market isn't going up, which is not very often, and doubt/fear is creeping into the clown mind. 1) There are more people with more disposable income. 2) The net is the greatest revolution in the history of man. Bullocks. No offence intended toward you, but these are two of the conerstones of clown theology. Cheers --Allan

no-one expected that Japanese savers would want their money back in '89 either. re. demographics, there are several contrarian viewpoints...will post a few links later. as for the importance of the internet, i don't think it's a more profound invention than the car, the telephone, mass production, the airplane and radio, all of which drove the 1920's mania. all that cross-currents does is anyway present how skewed the relation of stock market activity is vs. real economic activity. there can be no doubt that if $3,85 in stocks are traded for every dollar of GDP that something's out of whack...
