Here's a tangential thought to my post on baby-boomer retirement, below:

We occassionally report on examples of counter-cyclical assets: where market demand for something increases as the market itself is going down the tubes. But what will be the possible market impact of a the baby boomer generation retiring? Here are some "pro-geriatric" assets that come to mind:

1. Health care
2. Golf memberships
3. Bridge club memberships
4. Timeshares in Florida, the Caribbean, etc
5. Wrap-around sunglasses
6. Prunes

Now I'm not one for business advice, but I think Oakley or Fendi could really tap into the designer wrap-around sunglasses market - there's a lot of growth potential there.
