Jay, I had a bright idea! I've noticed that I tend to be two years too early. It's a persistent trait. It leads to frustration [when waiting for CDMA to rule the world or for people to notice that the traffic jam has suddenly ended and they can push the accelerator now].
I also tend to think that people won't do things as badly as they do [like Globalstar persevering with their extorquerationate pricing as long as they did].
Now I understand why the Dow hasn't gone cruising through the 16,000 mark [as I scheduled 7 years ago for Feb 2002]. As invariably, I was two years to early. Also, the crunch I'd been waiting for since May 1999 was worse than I thought it would be.
Therefore, just as a wild guess, I'm thinking if I just add the Two Year Time Dilatation Mq Relativity Gravitational Constant to Dow 16,000 we get February 2004. Well, that's not that far away even! 17 months.
That will give time for GE to show hairy legs, JP Morgan to admit to unbecoming financial gymnastics, Ford to be revamped into a less margined mess, Global Crossing to come on line, cdma2000 to really show people what's coming [I admit that it does seem that CDMA is a constant feature of life, but so is oxygen, that's just how it is], Iraq to be smoothed out, oil to drop in price and market clearing of Biotelecosmictechdot.com Limited to be completed.
I'll ring the bell when the markets hit bottom.
