Re: Rapidly changing fortunes

When I look at my weekly and monthly historical data back to early '20s, it
looks like a bear market to me. Although I've noted many similarities to late
20's, I'm not ready to figure we're headed for a 90% decline. 25% appears
certain and, at best, I think we're in for sideways action until we get well
clear of the millenium. The other shoe here would be a change of trend in the
US$ and that could send US equities right to the mat ala Japan and US in '29.
