Reddog, y2k has become a non-event for the general business community, EXCEPT, for the tech community, which has been hoarding BIG time in advance of the y2k event.
Consider Big Blue which IS THIS CENTURY IN COMPUTING! and it's 4q/1q warning, which is ignored in the greedy euphoria.
Over time there has been great changes in trends or sentiment as decades roll over, consider the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90',s
and now consider a millenial change, which is seems nobody considers the impact of great change, which is inherent and inbred in the psyche.
now consider the change from the 1700's, to the 1800's, to the 1900's and consider the accelleration of change.
it boggles the mind that things happen now in seconds or minutes that use to take decades or longer.
I find the level of optimism and confidence very disquieting, especially with a bull market icon making front page news like this a fibonacci 55 days from the date change.
