Oh, Antoine! I just found out I have to enter every . . . . freakin' . . . . stock transaction . . . . on my Schedule D. By hand. Thank God I am not a day-trader. No, I just have ADD. Oh, the horror, the horror. Thanks for the analysis, I think I'll be able to focus on it on April 16? Later. BTW, if anyone tells you that stocks have to go up because all of us procrastinators are putting money in for April 15, please point out that some of us are taking it from one money market account and putting it into another.

>>someone else to raise the capital to also compete in our business<< Sure, unless the capital required is high (a la INTC) or the intellectual barriers are formidable (a la CSCO) or the competition has a stranglehold on their particular specialties (GE, MSFT). I also have to disagree with you strongly on the peace dividend. For decades, the military and their industry soaked the American economy - not for better defense, but for a bloated, terribly inefficient, Byzantine structure that produced (in comparison to the rest of our economy) very little but consumed a huge percentage of our gdp. I will argue that there is no "new paradigm", that what we are seeing is a direct result of greater disposable income resulting from a "peace dividend" that consists mainly of telling large portions of our former mi-ind complex to get real jobs.
