Baby boom: actually if ya review the past century it wasn't the baby boom that was the aberration. It was from 29-46 when the depression apparently lowered birth rates. But I do agree with you when (and if) the boomers retire, it will drag the economy. And the mkt is a leading, not present-day, indicator. Looking up to 3 years in advance is do-able, to a degree, barring calamitous events. But I think NASDy can rally off its (I guess) 900-1000 bottom till the first boomers hit 60 (about 2007), reaching mebbe 3000 or so.

>>>Demographics start to really deteriorate from an economic stand point in the last couple years of this decade. Personally I don't see any significant gains in the indexes for 25 years<<< Just curious why you would care about predicting what will happen 25 years from now. Are you going to hold any stocks or positions that long? Most people on these boards are traders and they don't hold positions much more than a few days or weeks or months at most. DO you ever buy a stock or enter a short position thinking that this will be a great trade 25 years from now? Hey maybe DYN can finally start to move up then. Just kidding of course.
