oh jake, get real. Its a "selective market" what the hell is that, I'll tell you what it is, its a BEAR. You could have bought walmart in the 70s too, the 70s was also a "selective market" then.

RE: "It's a selective market now" This is true. Military 'defense' industry (Bush), Real Estate (Greenspan), and insurance (another disaster), have all done quite well. But you would want to look into the future, when the Boomers retire and the Gen X and Gen Y move to India and China where innovation is being invested for the future. I can think of three links for you that are on the Intc and real estate thread about the decline in innovation. The point Lizzie makes, that you aren't acknowledging is the point about future innovation in this country (whether those new research jobs are in software or other fields is irrelevant to her point.) I've posted a lot of information about the decline in RND on the Intc and real estate threads - these statistics show a future trend for other research fields that go beyond our little world of hightech. Of course, we can keep our heads in the sand and fortunately, I'm not a boomer : ) Regards, Amy J
