Big businesses (asx/dow listed companies) have the ability to credit raise during tough times. A large number of small businesses will be folding. The likes of BHP have said in roundabouts sort of ways that they will be looking to acquire businesses during the downturn.

What will the world look like in 5 years time? Will big companies increase their market share as competition reduces? Will major businesses have an increasing preference to deal with other major businesses as opposed to small businesses due to increased likelihood of perpetuity?

Will Amazon/Google/Apple continue to expand services and become more ingrained in our day to day life?

Yes we are in a downturn, but does this highlight the importance and dominance of big businesses on the economy / share market?

Are we trying to pick a short term lapse but knowing the market will be far higher in 5 years time as population continues to boom, we consume more and these businesses find new ways to take our money?

I think everyone knows that this would be a terrible investment over any period greater than (say) a year or so due to the inherently upward nature of stock prices over the longer term. So yes, I believe that most of us are trying to catch a fall within a greater long term upward trend....
