new investment in supply over time and all of the major oil importing
countries have almost completed building strategic reserves, oil
prices should start dropping later this year, Dent suggests. The
reason, Dent suggests, is due to modest inflation and a long and slow
economic recovery. Over time, slowing demographic
demand and strong stock appreciation will increasingly work against
strong price increases for homes. Technology, health care, financial services, Asia and
small cap stocks should provide better investment opportunities in
this continued bubble boom ahead.S.
