<The issue is that there is a perception amongst the general population that they must invest. And that the best way to invest is to place money in the market. So the money just keeps pouring in to dollar cost average itself away.> Agreed... perception is huge. <"What's a fool to do?"> It seems lately that starting ones own company is the 'thang' now... so stock floatations have caught up to demand.

>>In all fairness to AC (or at least with more fairness than much of the board seems willing to grant), there is some merit to the "Supply and Demand" theory, aka "Lemma 2 of the Greater Fool theory", or perhaps more precisely the "What else is a fool to do" theory.<< Thanks, John. SI has never been able to separate the message from the messenger. I am not saying that stocks should go higher this year, because clearly, they shouldn't. I am saying that, in my opinion, they will go higher, for the reasons I have previously mentioned.
