If we looked at 20 years for short-term investment and 100 years plus for long term investment, we could probably advance much more rapidly, rather than having share holder worrying about what will come at the end of the next quarter, instead of whether the company can invest, so that it is still making money when they retire... The human race is turning in on itself, greed is causing people to not look past the end of their noses and we are caught in a downward spiral. Hopefully some investors will have the courage to actually start investing in mankind, as opposed to looking for returns to keep them in 5 star restaurants every evening...
