<Out of this market cap of 12.8trillion $ 4 trillion makes nothing but promises the other 8.8 trillion$ carries the entire weight of the market with its earnings. However, that sector sells at a huge discount and the one that promises rose gardens to make money from the 'money making segment' of the market sells at premium of 200 times 2001 earnings. Now that is rich asumption by any standards,firstly when AG rises rates it is the earning making sector that is hit the hardest but it is short-termism at its best the argument that new economy would not suffer as they don't have debt is nothing but non-sense, after all all these new economy companies future incomes stream are discounted to present, with interest rates rising that takes a huge tool on their vlauations, far bigger than interest rate hike cost on old economy debt. The second reason that new economy cannot survive without old economy is based on new economy cash flow so much dpenedent on the good health of old economy, > Message #30947 from IQBAL LATIF at Mar 20, 2000 10:45 PM
