Robert,

>>>> I understand that is the historical range, but isn't this the 'new economy?' I hate to use an overhacked phrase, but the internet does seem to me to be transforming our economy in a fundamental way that only a few other technologies have yet to do in human history. On that basis, an historic pe range may not be very relevant. <<<<<

Throughout history there has always been "new economies". The OVERSEAS TRADING COMPANY mania of the late 17 hundreds was a major component of colonization of most parts of the world by the western powers. Colonization changed the worlds economy and all these new colonies had new economies.

I highlighted colonization since it was tied to a major mania, but throughout history there has always been new economies. Over time, new economies are no longer new and face temporary or permanant deterioration.

Im a strong believe in the 50 year cycle, and many may not know that there is mention of such in the BIBLE. I'm not a overly religious person, but do view the BIBLE as a history book. It is also in the interpretations.

seeya

Robert Rose,

books you should look up on tulips.com -g-

Popular Delusions and Madness of Crowds.

anything by John Kenneth Galbraith.

nothing is ever "new" just renamed to lure in the next bunch of suckers.

mutual funds were called investment trusts in the 20's.

(they aren't to be trusted now either -g-)
