Good for you Neeraj. People worry that the stockmarket will get too much money, as though there is a limited amount of productive assets to buy. Anyone who has more than a passing acquaintance with Indian, China, Africa, Indonesia and even Mahathir's marvellous Malaysia, knows that there is vast investment needed to bring these places up to a tolerable standard of living where people are not dying for absurdly trivial problems. $ill Gates has provided money for immunisation for example. That is a great investment. Good for him. The USA is the country with the wealth, legal, political and military systems to create and protect it. So it has got my hard-earned money, which I hope will be invested in WLL in India, China and such places so those people can get a decent life, they can produce useful goods, and swap those with me for WWeb equipment. The vastness of investment opportunities are more than enough to keep all the baby boomers in the USA in meals and accommodation in their dotage. Provided they save enough and places like India and Mad Mahathir's Malaysia allow evil foreigners to invest in their squalid countries. Which for all their desperate poverty and very pleasant places and there seems as much happiness per person in India as in the USA. No, I don't have scientific studies to back that up. Just the impression I gained. Wealth and happiness have a tenuous correlation. But it is definitely better to be able to buy good food and cellphones than to forage for subsistence. So, splurge on Q! stock Neeraj. Invest in telecommunications, biotechs and make the world a better, wealthier and happier place. You will as a result, get rich and retire fat and happy. Dow 16,000 Feb 2002, no worries! Watch the New Paradigm take off once India and China come fully on stream. Those places have a long history of civilization and their temporary disastrous mimicking of the silly British socialist system, which was a luxury overlaid on the richest country on earth, will be ditched in favour of leaving people to be energetic and creative, profiting from their efforts. When they chucked the British out, they ditched some of the good things and kept the bad. That was a shame and insanely expensive in human suffering. Britain too ditched the good and kept the bad, so the trio were in good company. Same in Africa. The African dictators kept the silly hats, but ditched the political values. We live in hope. Mqurice
