Yes, my claim is that investors want returns on their investment as rapidly as possible. Furthermore, capital is likely to chase a nearer-term result. Thirdly, the development costs of things like plasma-ion drives, and small-scale fusion reactors, as mentioned originally by myself, are considerable.
Alas, I have too lttle capital to invest, although a business friend of mine has recommended I-bonds lately.

<<If the claim is that investors underestimate the likelihood for success of efforts to develop such ambitious products, or the demand for such products once developed, then you should be able to make above market returns by investing in firms that tend to try more ambitious projects. Do you so
invest?
