Unfortunately there is often alot of arbitrage by people with very short-term goals. Sadly, some of the worst technologies are the ones that get lots of short-term interest.
Slightly off-topic here, but am I the only one who is concerned by the fact that virtually all businesses define "ultra long term" as 5 years or less? It seems that 5 years is about the limits of Capitalism's vision... The Internet, while very young, is still 5 or 6 times that old. Maybe the politicians and managers, by virtue of being politicians and managers, should not be allowed to be politicians and managers. Yes, I think that made sense, but it's 7am and I haven't slept yet tonight so I can't be sure. Matthew Devney Needs Caffeine
