Sankar, << Do you know the typical age of retirement in Wall Street? You may not like to hear>>
I'd guess it probably bifurcates: some "retire" at ~28, and some at ~78. -g-

One little appreciated fact, I fear, is that as interest rates have fallen, and P/Es risen over the years, the fact that discounted values to longer years contribute more and more. Usually, this is compensated by the rise in risk premiums demanded, but not now.
