timing of economic bottom, stock bottom

May 50 bpt rate hike beginning to be felt, not fully
add 7-10 months for that final unnecessary kick in the economy's nuts
that is Dec to Feb timeframe

but deterioration is likely to feed upon itself
the backside post-Y2K phenomenon dictated its own pullback
the decline in Naz wealth effect dictates its own spending pullback

Fed has been exceeding the 3month TBill yield by 30-80 bpts for about six months now
that amount of braking is unprecedented in our modern history

therefore the economic fallout will likely continue into about April or May

I expect flat to negative Q1, Q2, and Q3
tech stocks should rock into bottoms just before or somewhat after the first Fed rate cut
something like Jan15th or Feb15th
it will become apparent that 50 bpt in Jan will be sadly insufficient
and more declines come afterwards that first Fed rate cut

I say Naz bottom in Feb sometime, 6 months before economy revives in August-September

Naz price at bottom: 1850-2100

Fed has possible unemployment target of about 4.5%
now 4.0%
