I have read "Surviving the Great Depression of 1990," and highly recommend it. He goes through a lot of economic history, and made some very interesting comparisons to the 20's.
Of course economists always have crappy timing. <g>

"I would bet that "The Millinium Crash" is probably quite similar to the last one. Change the names and dates, and you've got another "new" book. <g>

LG, i hope he didn't miss by 10 years -NG-

As i posted recently, Greenspan has been a deflation fighter since 1987, flooding the world with $, whenever there is a sign of trouble.

At some time this pyramid scheme will fail.

As noted by John Pitera, the greatest bear has shown big signs of capitulation, last year at this time he was publicly saying we would see dow 3000 or something by december. This year he resigned as regular editor of EWT and i haven't heard a peep out of him and his EWT ST guy is calling for a drop to 9700 or something.

On second thought- Looking at a chart of the overall market around 1990- Here's the Russell 3000 as a proxy.

If you had got out in mid 1989, and stayed out till mid 1991, you would have missed out on nothing but a lot of uncertainty. So maybe his 1990 timing was not so bad after all- Just the magnitude. <g>
