From a hedge fund - 2009-11-14 20:40:16
Why does it cost so much? The Capital does not go into this, but I believe that in 2000 in was "only" $25,000.00/ year. From what I gather, this is just another over-inflated, artificially high sector of the economy. Maybe when unemployment gets to 13% SJC will contract and correct to a more (philosophically) real number.
