Bill, I printed your post. Excellent summary of where we are. It is a very exciting day on these threads to have both you participating, and to have a story that our participants have worked on make the New York Times: Message 7577383 It seems like Greenspan's messages are are all over the map these days. If there were an index like ^vix measuring the volatility and ambiguity of the Fed Chairman's statements we would be at a very high reading indeed. I will look forward to seeing you on CNBC tomorrow and appreciate you taking time to post on the thread.

>>Without much time to expound, underlying my belief is that we really are in the beginning stage of a new era--the "Post WWII Era ended, the Information/Global Era began. (I'd arbitrarily date it to the fall of the Berlin Wall, which also coincides to the rapid spread of PCs and networked computers.) The result has been (as history shows is always the case) to see the vast opportunities that lie ahead, and for markets to reflect an unbounded optimism of what will be. However, vast changes are rarely accomplished without much upheaval (as we've already seen in the world's emerging economies)<< Market analysis is interesting and all of us have a stake in that here, but I'm very interested in thinking about how the technological changes in this new age will affect society here and abroad. Do you spend some time reading some of the writers in that area? Are there any books that you have read in this area lately that have really made you think? TIA Tippet
