...money so far has kept pouring in even while prices temporarily went down. Wall Street used to regard a 10% "correction" as standard after an especially sharp and rapid advance, but the Dow has not had even a temporary downswing that large in the past five years.

But is there much that conservative or liberal policies can really do to nurture such enterprise? Would Marc Andreessen work harder under a flat tax?
