'Fast Eddie Yardeni - from the latest WDC Y2k meeting; by Cory H.
'Partial report, Fast Eddie Yardeni, Carmichael. More later.
...
Carmichael has addressed WDC Y2K twice. A year ago and last night,
following Fast Eddie Yardeni.
Fast Eddie lived up to his name, his talk was fast, funny, his lead joke
was that he's given his stock Y2K speech a bunch of times and lately,
awareness has gotten to the point that his opening remark is, "You guysin?"
Fast Eddie appears to be at 3.5 on the c.s.y2k scale. To me, at 4.0, it
seems that he doesn't quite get it... but there's hope. It explains
why, to milne, Fast Eddie seems like a raving lunatic.
Carmichael is a white haired, prematurely old'ish looking small boned
person, but then most people look thin to me. He's an old new ager and
talks like a neo-hippie. His talk was full of touchy-feely concepts but
carefully masked in scientific looking graphs and QUADRANT CHARTs.
He's monitoring the awareness and presented a diagram that matches my
experience as a money grabbing consultant. The chart didn't have scales
(touchy feely) but showed 1998, 1999, and 2000 with a mid height wavy
line, the line represents required level of effort (I think of it as my
billings.) There was another line that represented actual level of
effort but he might have called it "meta social Y2K connectivity to
psycho awareness."
Whatever... the line was very low in 1998, rises in mid 1999 and goes
asymtotic at 4Q 1999. I think of it as my billings.
Whatever... he's wrong, it's gonna blow up before 4Q 1999. Maybe this
summer, yeah, I'm guessing. ... something wicked this way comes.
Three other speakers, I'll cover them and more shocking rate rumors from
the meeting in the next DC Y2K WRP.
