<I can invest in Chile, Kiwiland, Japan or Russia. But none of them come close to what the USA offers in terms of legal strength, military strength, talent, financial strength, currency strength, political stability. > Ageed, then the question becomes... is this priced in... to equities, the dollar, etc. There are downsides too! Companies existing only to go public with no notion of ever being profitable, just suck in stupid investors... often when ever things are terribly obvious... they're not. <Extending to the sky and beyond is no problem. There are no boundaries.> Yes, actually, there are. <Not even human ability now that computers can out think us.> They can't. <Human muscle stopped being a limiting factor 100 years ago. Now, the human brain is being supplanted. The sky's not the limit.> Well one thing is for certain... the U.S. boarder certainly isn't. <The dot.gone implosion doesn't mean cyberspace is slowing down. Nor that technology development is slowing. It's actually accelerating.> Agreed... but with all technological advancements in the past, it doesn't mean endless profits... the profits boom in past technological wonders often peaked way before the wonderment of the invention was digested. I'll say again... profits don't grow to the sky... <Genentech, IDEC> REally?? What's driving their pipelines? DAK
