"Will we demand more regardless of the threat of unemployment"
they have just been there..a lot of citizens are up to their ears in
credit card debt etc..safety nets have been removed..
there is a threat of more downsizing..also if the market starts tanking as a lot of us assume..they will also be feeling poorer..
I don't think the average person wants to risk unemployment..maybe recent graduates who have little responsibility..but unlike past
"recent" graduates..they have embedded in their mind that there may
be no social security etc for them..even Greenspan has been talking about lowering medicare benefits..so they may even be fearful of no
health benefits..pretty powerful substance for "fear" over greed
Really enjoy your posts..
Right now I am focussing primarily on "confidence"...what will shake
confidence..
Microsoft said this time they meant that future earnings might not be
so robust.."wolf" "wolf"..Gates has been cautious in his predictions
for so long..wonder,even if true, will the street believe it..it was
down yesterday...
We will hear more and more about year2000...everybody who reads company reports filed with sec now will have that constant reminder..
great for programmers...bad for hardware suppliers..bad for bottom line with high cost of remediation..
The monster China hopefully, as Goldsnow has mentioned, will certainly
do wonders for commodities if they start their infrastructure program..they probably will since the citizens might grow restless..
Japan might be pulling the rug under interest rates by redeeming more
and more treasuries..isn't our market based on those low rates..that
have helped our corporations more than anything else..
