The stock market "correction" was predicted 8 years ago.... Here's the proof....

Hi Dien!

That's truly fascinating. And it also makes perfect sense.

A large surge in births would see the market for baby goods take off. Then as those babies got older their interests would make other markets take off while the markets they'd just been in would decline.

And then when all those babies die...

So according to this research, the decline we're in will be pretty sharp, come to a sudden stop, level out for a while and then go back up. Is that right?

Anyway. Talking about predicting trends. The other week there was an article in the Sydney Morning Herald ( http://www.smh.com.au ) about the increase in knee and hip replacement surgery. (I'd find the article in the archives for you but going through the last month day by day looking for it again is too time consuming)

This makes sense what with the boomers hitting that age group and still wanting to enjoy life. And this follows the stay-young thing the article you linked to recently, as well.

So do you think having shares in companies which provide replacement hips and knees would be a good thing?
