Persfin'ers,

In the spirit of my last message about sharing large or graphic files with the
group, I have a chart I want to share...

I've recently read a couple of books "The Great Boom Ahead", and "The Roaring
2000's" by Harry S. Dent.  Dent uses a simple and overlooked correlation
between the age & size of the population and its relation to the value of the
stock market.  The graphs in his book show a REMARKABLE relationship between
the peak spending years of our population, and the stock market.

The book, written in 1993 when the Dow Industrials stood at 2800, predicted a
solid boom in the US stock market. And indeed it has happened, our current Dow
has been as high as 9000 --  unthinkable in 1993.  I think Mr. Dent makes a
strong case to be optimistic over the next decade.  This is a good thing to
keep in mind during the stock market volatility we've seen over the past
days/weeks.

A chart of some of Mr. Dent's work can be seen at:

Take a look at the chart and toss out your questions and thoughts to the group.

Best Regards,

Jeff Salisbury
