Like 1996

In The Fullness Of Time

Corporations buying back their own shares,

increasing the dividend and guidance for 2006

is a healthy pattern similar to 1996.

There is less speculation in the real estate market now

and all that money needs to go somewhere else.

Our market has underperformed world markets in 2005.

The negativity towards stocks feels like 1995.

So many worries seem the same;

deficit spending, the dollar, inflation, gold….

There are many challenges,

but that has never stopped us before.

The greatest growth could be in new energy technology.

Our fragile energy system now exposed

gives us a ferocious desire to cure.

Invest in new technology, sell the past

and always come back to quip cast.
