The Dow Jones Average in 1983 hovered around 1220 compared to 9000 in 1998. The stockmarket's unprecedented performance is indicative of the returns equity investors have enjoyed. Trends such as demographics, increasing globalization, emerging markets, the end of welfare state, and technology will determine the future of markets and individual companies.
