DAK, my guess is that the advantages aren't priced in to US stocks yet [which is why I remain invested in the USA]. I think the advantages will grow as the Black Hole Effect continues and accelerates. Where are the boundaries? 6 billion people and the development of cyberspace is a BIG market. When 6 billion people have three times the per capita income of the USA, things might start topping out. Yes, we won't all drive SUVs. But there are other things people want. Globalstar is above the sky [admittedly not profitable yet]. I still say the sky's not the limit. Deep Blue out-thunk Gary Kasparov in a fair fight. Yes, yes, I know some nerds did the programming, but they weren't great chess players, just good programmers. Deep Blue did the thinking. Not them. And that was a trivial number-crunching game. Wait for the real thinking to get going. I don't see why profits can't grow to the sky. The usual barrier is confiscatory governments. A purely cyberspace company based nowhere could have multitrillion$$ profits. Governments couldn't attack it! Fully-encrypted, they'd just be bamboozled by noise in cyberspace. IDEC and Genentech have profits. That drives their business. There is a lot to do in biotechs. Those two companies have quite a bit to go on with. How high is the sky anyway? We need to agree on the limit. I say the limit is the event horizon for the universe [if such a thing exists and we can't adjust that]. Mqurice
