Thank you John...widen it out from July 1 1990 to say April 1991 and you can easily figure out when the events took place. We started bombing in mid Jan 1991 and Saddam invaded about August 1st, 1990 or so... I'd also change the candlesticks to HLC...or OHLC. Bottom occured in October and you can see the market was cringing a little before taking off in mid Jan...it turned on a dime after we started bombing and invading Kuwait. stockcharts.com[h,a]dahlyymy[d19900701,19910501][pb50!b200][vc60] This is a little different. Not such a clearly defined enemy and should take a little less time to get troops there since we already have some there now. A. Carrier and base...also Diego Garcia beefed up... I guess we have to figure out who to bast this time... Jim

stockcharts.com!b200%5D%5Bvc60%5D%5Bi%5D This might be a better chart. The stock seemed to be climbing more or less steadily from November on, but it dipped at the beginning of the new year. About halfway through the month, the US did its military action and the stock surged. So both sides are correct. The attack helped bolster the market, but the dip only started shortly before the attack.     -JC

Here is a chart for the time period you specified: stockcharts.com[h,a]dacl... John, actually this chart gives me some hope. If we equate the WTC attack with Iraq's attack on Kuwait, then it took the market 3 mos. to put in a bottom. But if you look at the chart, starting in Jan. 1990, instead of Aug., 1990, the market was experiencing a ramp up when Iraq attacked Kuwait. However, the current drop from the WTC attack has come on top of a correction that has been going on for nearly 2 1/2 months. In fact the markets have now priced in two depressions, an assassination and 10 bank failures in Japan. <g> Consequently, the markets may be able to put in a bottom faster this time around. In fact they have to or the Dow, the Naz etc will be trading at negative numbers...and we will be buying AMD at a -$9 and Intel, a -$6. Those are my market insights for the day. LOL ted
