Thank you, Lois,
for the point about boomers coming of age. I found the sites you
included most interesting.
You hit my hot button, because, as you may know, I'm working on my
"Boomer Babies" (companies that will appeal to boomers) that will in
time make me rich! It's all based on the fact that, from the get-go,
boomers will change things. As a "leading edge" boomer (my wife, four
years my junior, insists I use that term) I'm testimony to that, because
they've made my life very comfortable.
Now, boomers are getting older (I know they hate to admit it), and who
do you think is going to benefit most? You got it: older people, aka
geriatric boomers. And what do older people need most? Drugs, medical
care, places to retire, travel to take, not to mention places to be
buried! And dare I omit sex? Do you think we'd have Viagra (the
greatest legalized drug of all time, according to Hugh Hefner)if it
weren't for the boomers?
Now, who will soon be the biggest, best organized lobby (if it isn't
already) in the world? AARP bay-beeeeeeee! (Darn, Austin Powers keeps
slipping in). So I read my AARP Bulletin (they start sending it to you
at age 50) regularly, looking for CANSLIM candidates (lest we get off
topic!). The question is will AARP ever outweigh Pfizer, et al, in
Congress? Hard to say, but there are an awful lot of votes in that there
pipeline!

Duke,
I agree that money talks.
I resigned from the nursing profession 9 yrs. ago. The majority of the
patients were medicaid/medicare dependant(your tax dollars) which in
turn means that generic drugs would be used over brand name drugs. Below
you will find a LINK(lol) that will project the baby boomers coming of
age. This clearly means that the healthcare/pharms/orthopedic co's will
be booming also. http://www.census.gov/prod/2/pop/p25/p25-1131.pdf
http://www.biospace.com/
I can go a little deeper with info re gov. officials that had/have their
fingers stuck in the pie, but don't know if I should here, so I won't.
