Challo, Grace Zaccardi has all of those figures. Here is a chart that I made from 1/2000 through 4/2002 stockcharts.com[w,a]wacayyay[d20000101,20020428][pb50!b200][vc60][iub14!la12,26,9][J4167987,Y]&pref=G

Hi Challo. Don't know about the spreadsheet. Haven't seen it yet. What I'm hoping to do with the data is to enter it against a chart of the Dow, or one of my Gold vs ... charts. It may or may not show a pattern. I'm not at all sure it'll have any value, anyway, because I really don't trust the bank cabal to provide us with accurate or timely data. But whatever it shows, I'll pass along. Cush

I would love to know if this entire bear market was the Fed pulling out the excesses from Y2K! FED made a mistake in the late '90s by providing excess liquidity in order to compensate for 'crat instituted restrictive fiscal policy. Loose monetary policy with tight fiscal policy has always been the core reason behind economic failure. FED should have been more restrictive earlier, say, '97, but they thought a little inflation like a little drink is good for the heart. The problem is that the money went into stock speculation rather than into output enhancing capacity and renovation of antiquated unutilized excess capacity. When that happens the cost of production rises and that translates into rising final prices. FED had to slow down the whole process that was leading the US down the garden path to uncontrolled inflation. The mild tightening which wasn't attended by RP sales or sales of Treasuries, but only an allowing of the market for money to take rates up to equilibrium, slammed the speculative and over leveraged stock market especially in the new wunderkind areas of technology and medicine. The US did experience an inflation in the late '90s, but the form the inflation took was in stocks rather than in the usual economic quantities. Once the emperor's new clothes were exposed and given the 'crat's absolute need to maintain the war on wealth, the resulting high corporate taxes and demand saturation has led to a profits depression. They were frauds all the way up, and all the way down they are being exposed for the frauds that they are. It isn't only US corporations who are being exposed. The US itself has been exposed for a bloated pig and now the people will have to pay the price for the false wealth of the good old days of the Roaring '90s.
