possible seeds of disaster, yes
but if so, then will be felt in late 2002
and very much in 2003
all this current stimulus guarantees a temporary recovery
after 8-14 months of recovery, then critical time

reminds me of SMU Econ Professor Ravi Batra
his main premise behind US economic decline is chronic overproduction and excess debt
eventually the inventory stacks up high
and deflation hits a major cycle as less money to chase it
we could see it in 2003-05
just like Japan now
in fact, I think the initial effect of Japan's climax will be lower supply costs, just like in 1997
then in next stage, the overcapacity catches up to us
excess is seen now in computerdom, telecom

it will be interesting to see if it hits entire economy

for the record, I have thought Greenspan to be a hack
ever since 1998 when he brokered the LTCM bailout
from that point onward, pure ragtag faulty monetary policy
he has been fighting inflation for 7 yrs since 1994
all the while, deflation has gathered forceful momentum
and his forecasts have a 30% correct record, if that
pathetic for central banker in leading nation
