I fear that the USA will lose a good chunk of the 21% share in 10 years. The USA has dominated the aircraft/aerospace market but increased competition from smaller players like Embraer & Bombadier will hurt. They will graduate into larger players especially with support from the Chinese, Indians & Japanese. Boeing outsources to India & Japan critical technology. Caterpillar will lose/reduce its dominance as it battles 'cheaper' brands in Africa & Asia. It is a matter of time.

I've been involved in markets for many years and fund managers have never shown that they can effectively time the markets. Maybe they should take a look at it, since this seems to be hard math and there is no 'human' element to louse the results....
