I know information technology makes economic cycles go faster, allows us to keep inventories, sales, labor etc., etc., in line,...hell I've used computers for two decades to do that. I also know the 2nd world war boomers have warped a lot of normal economics,...if there is such a thing as normal economics given that politics has more to do with economics than economics does (gggggggggg) Can the boomers really spend us out of this current recession that will follow 20+ years of incredible growth and prosperity. I think we will, eventually (I can't believe the incredible sums that neighbors and friends are inheriting from their dead parents these days,...thank god for parents),...just like it blew the top off education in the 60's, 70's and 80's and the job market in the 70's, 80's and 90's it's going to blow the top off the savings industry in the 80's, 90's and 2000's,...and probably the 2010's. I'm not a bear. I think we will have ten+ years of incredible liquidity in the markets left to go, but you have to invest in what's hot to make the big bucks. The big question is,...what's hot. I want to live forever,...in good health. I want to enjoy my life. I want to travel anywhere in the world without fearing for my life. I want to stop working. I want to have lots of retirement income. I want to have spare time to do things I want to do. ,......... 7 billion people want to do the same thing,....but less than 1 billion get to do anything like it,...and the other six billion want what we have,...and if we want to do everything we want to do, we have to give them something, don't we!? Life can be tough. Solutions are even tougher.
