Well, many do credit Clinton with the attack on Microsoft - done for campaign cash. Many also say that changed market psychology. Glassman is probably correct, but I suspect a Dem would be impervious to such knowledge. The Dem effort to steal the election in FL certainly didn't help either. That stopped economic activity.

I think your analysis is on the money. It is true that the assault on MSFT began the slide but the market was just playing chicken and it was only a matter of time before the fall came. The market was just waiting for an excuse to fall. Your points were the critical factors that were not going away with or without the MSFT case

Tech slide? . . . . Pul-leese! This has been a one-year tech CRASH. I find great irony in two things: (1) Time Magazine's 1999 Man of the Year was Jeff Bezos--he of the soon-to-be single-digit AMZN, and (2) A&E's 1999 Biography of Year was Alan Greenspan--he of the insane 2000 rate increases. Crash, not slide! /john
