'... check for articles on CIO and CEO resignations'
'Rob,
Good topic to bring up again. I have a few barometers. One is the IRS. Does anybody remember that the IRS promised compliance by January 1, 1999? See this link:
news.com
Are they?
Another barometer is what happens on the first business day of 1999-- Monday, January 4th--two days from now. Will we hear a lot about accounting software failures? I'm watching the news on areas where there is a good chance of failures, such as the city of Washington D.C., Denver, Alabama, France and Germany.
I also use Excite's news search to check for articles on CIO and CEO resignations. I have the following link bookmarked, and click it on everyday to check resignation news:
search.excite.com*+CEO+-AFL
The above link is how I found out about that last big resignation at EDS. When panic is about to hit, I figure CIOs and CEOs will start resigning, then the stock market will crash when the market "gets it," and then after the crash is when the public rush to buy preparation items will begin.
