The companies that have driven the last 8 years of growth (EG INTC, MSFT, SUNW etc) are following business plans formulated more than 8 years ago. It will be interesting to look back in another 8 years time and see how much AMZN contributed to the economy.

<<After 8 years of Clinton/Gore and the best economy most of us have ever seen>> Credit to Clinton/Gore??......now that is hysterical! The only credit I will give Washington comes from Fiscal responsibility in the form of the Balanced Budget Amendment originally proposed by R. Perot (1992)and adopted and passed by the Republican house and senate (1994). Because of it's immense support from the voters it gave Clinton no choice but to sign it.....If you recall the mere act of doing this is what set the stage for Greenspan to do his thing....as he was ecstatic about the prospects of such. . .

Dear Steve D.: Because of my immense respect for Charles, who asked me not to discuss this on this forum, I wont. But I sure would love to debate your statement. I side with Snake Eyes reply on this one, and throw into it long economic cycle which IMHO the groundwork was begun by Reagan and also the vastly improving World Economy due to the end of the Cold War and breakdown of National Trade Barriers. If someone would like to set up a forum where we could debate this I would enjoy it personally. One thing for Charles though, I do disagree, I believe Politics, like it or not, IS important to business, in fact VERY important. JDN
