I like the blog, but some of your musings take dodgy theory and extrapolate it into "likely" outcomes.

For example, in this post you quote increases in life expectancy, and do a plot to show its growing exponentially - so we'll all soon live forever (not).

A little bit of thought shows that life expectancy has mostly increased due to cutting the infant mortality rate. So, while we may soon cut infant mortality down to close to 0%, that won't actually boost life expectancy that much. Maximum life extent has stayed pretty much the same - going from around 60-70 in past times, to a maximum of around 125 today.

Because we realise sooner that stocks will rise and will buy the sooner the better, leaving little or no expectation left for the future.(And thus, leaving no will to buy in the future, as we already bought) That's why we'll soon see bigger and bigger bubles.

The Theory of Accelerating Returns is interesting, but as any good investment adviser will tell you, past performance is no indicator of future results. It occurs to me that demand for goods and services is not driven by technological progress, even if the ability to supply those goods and services is. Will technological advancements increase the consumption of hamburgers and T-shirts and disposable razors? I think not, and therefore I suspect the purveyors of those products will not see returns accelerate past the rate of population growth.

...we’d like to have the stocks now....

The use of "now" seems to be an indication that an adjustment will take place automatically and not over a period of time. Once the adjustment is in effect the expectation of any additional return, or required rate, is priced into the security.

The view that the adjustment would be instantaneous and all inclusive seems to lie in the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) school of thought. I do not personally buy into the EMH on a macro-level but if the discussion were to head down this path it would have to be assumed that the realization of accelerating economic progress is already happening in the stock market.

Maybe the reason for disconnect is caused by some other factor, that is just what struck me from the excerpt. What do you think?
