Here's the essence of it, gang: stocks that soar can also plummet. Sure, in the long run, high risk usually means high reward, and the techs could climb anew. But the long run can be long indeed, and if you hold only a few stocks, there are no guarantees. You could be wiped out. Even if you own a basket of tech stocks, your nest egg could drop 50% or more in the time it takes to order that new BMW. Spreading investments across asset classes reduces such risk and looks dumb only to the tech cultists...
...then Greenspan touched off a firestorm by arguing that today's technological innovation and improved efficiency can themselves ignite inflation. His logic? Strong productivity growth raises the outlook for corporate profits, which drives the stock market higher. As equity prices soar, Americans feel wealthier, and that encourages them to continue their wild shopping spree. "The problem is that the pickup in productivity tends to create even greater increases in aggregate demand than in potential aggregate supply," says Greenspan...
...uninspired work of traditional box office tripe is Brian De Palma. Throughout his entire career, he has been a director with a distinct emphasis on visual style over substantiative content, and the truth remains with _M2M_.

Shifting between full rhythm sections and just bass and drums throughout the album, Turner waxes introspective with the breathy tone and plodding rhythm of the standard "Stardust." The album would be easily dismissible were it not for Turner's flights of interpretational fancy, which soar to great melodic heights yet still maintain the melancholia inherent to many tracks. On "I Loves You Porgy," he conjures simple sentimentality in a lush landscape of tender phrasing and introspective tones. Granted, not every single aspect of Ballad Sessions works. Turner's group doesn't gel when he attempts to change pace with Latin...
...these high-growth stocks out there to sate the demand of both the individuals and the institutions that want them. A slight curtailing of the new-issue pipeline, mandated by regulators as a pre-Y2K bug precaution, caused the few Business-to-Business plays out there, like VerticalNet, to soar. Stocks trade as a function of supply and demand, and right now every dotcom is Pokemon at Christmas--only in the case of stocks, the shortage won't be fixed anytime soon...
