I like this Greg; makes sense. I am going to roll it over to SOROS and ask him if perhaps he is confusing bad table manners with the TIME COMPRESSION factor vbg back later TA Message #61384 from Gregory Mullineaux at Jan 10 2000 10:47PM Volts, Time compression theory is spreading.. from the bull market report <<. I WROTE THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, or TIME COMPRESSION IN THE STOCK MARKETS By Michael Makowsky Contributing Editor The Bull Market Report Why is the market so volatile? The last time I answered this question I wrote a 1200 word dissertation that I suspect exactly three people read AND finished (Remember AN AVERAGE JOE PREDICTS THE FUTURE?) Well, today we are going to simplify. Why is the market apparently more volatile than ever? Things happen faster. That's why. It takes one 1/1000 of the time for anything to happen today, as opposed to 15 years ago. Information is received immediately and decisions are executed immediately. As human beings, we have adjusted by making our decisions faster. This has all combined to create a market where the EVENT - REACTION - RESULT cycles occurs thousands of times every day. This basically means that whereas the repercussions of an event would in the past play out over weeks, now the same repercussions play out in a single day. This is now being called the "Time Compression" effect. In fact, why should I write anymore? It will likely be outdated any second now. =====================>> Greg
