All, based on what Lisa wrote.. I found this on Sylvia Browne's web site... sylvia.org Stock Market Update (dated October 31, 1997) Stay clear of the market until the first of next year. It will continue its "roller coaster" behavior for the remainder of 1997. By early 1998 it will stabilize and begin a slow recovery, but then again in March of 1998 it will dip. Hack, for the record/fun of it.... here is her prediction of 1998 sylvia.org 1998 Predictions by Sylvia Browne Dated November 4, 1997 Disasters 1.The media overhypes El Nio. It will not cause as much havoc as predicted by weather watchers. There will be flooding in the Midwest and Southern states, the other states will find it unusually dry and humid. 2.The warming trend continues along with higher humidity, causing molds to grow, making allergies rise to an all-time-high. 3.The landmass of the North East Coast will exhibit obvious erosion. The West Coast will find that more land is appearing. 4.The Pacific Northwest, near Seattle, will have an earthquake, around 5.4, in January. 5.Small earthquakes in central California, near Modesto, in February. 6.A very large earthquake in Madrid, about 7.8, in May. 7.Volcanic eruption in Japan causes a poisonous cloud mass, around April. 8.Hurricanes batter the coast of Mexico and Southern California, especially around August. Cabo San Lucas is hit. 9.The non-stop destruction of the rain forests will release more and more harmful diseases into our atmosphere. The Earth is trying to survive the plague called man. 10.The world will not come to an end in '98, '99, or 2000. As Jesus told us - no one can predict the end times. Ignore the "doomsday prophets" who will rise up like weeds in the next few years. Besides, the "end of the world" simply means we all go back home, we are reunited with all of our loved ones, and we get to have a great time with God and each other forever. What's so bad about that? But having said that, I really cannot see anything beyond the year 2100. Business 1.Microsoft gets fined more and more money due to monopolistic practices. 2.The US re-takes the lead in technology and becomes the world leader for product innovation. 3.IBM creates a surprisingly good talk-savvy computer. 4.The stock market will continue its "roller coaster" behavior for the remainder of 1997. By early 1998 it will stabilize and b egin a slow recovery, but then again in March of 1998 it will dip. Politics 1.Bill Clinton will be exonerated in the Paula Jones case. It will be uncovered that this was more like a conspiracy to corrupt his reputation. 2.The "White Water" investigation just sinks. Nothing becomes of it. 3.The IRS gets a more thorough investigation by the Justice Department. This becomes the first step toward a Flat Tax code. 4.More Militia groups, in North Dakota and Wyoming, come forward around June with grievances and form "stand offs" with the government. 5.We will have brief skirmishes with Iraq, but full war is avoided. 6.The Democrats will gain power again. Bill Clinton will again run for national office after a four-year break, and win. Health 1.Bill Clinton releases more funding for research into cancer, AIDS, and other health issues. 2.A big resurgence in Holistic and alternative medicine. At the same time people must be wary of scams and false promises. 3.Surgeons will find that some tumors are easily destroyed without invasive surgery using electrical discharge and laser light. 4.Hormonal therapy will be refined to create a new type of youth rejuvenator. 5.Continued research in diabetes and muscular dystrophy brings significant breakthroughs. 6.The "triple cocktail" used to treat AIDS will have a fourth ingredient added to put AIDS in full remission. 7.More people will go to Europe for medical treatment until the AMA practices and procedures get better. Society 1.The Catholic Church will have only one more Pope after John Paul II. 2.Louis Farrakhan will direct more marches in the US, but he will move to the Middle East to live. 3.The Spiritual Movement, dormant for seven thousand years, comes to the foreground again. 4.We will begin to see more TV programming and other media showing a renewed Spirituality rather than religious dogma. 5.Protests arise on college campuses regarding the possible war in the Middle East. 6.The "TV Evangelists" get another round of bad publicity and exposure showing that they do not need all the money they solicit. 7.Our economy is better than it has been in the last 40 years and keeps getting better. 8.The Christian Coalition proves it is neither. The general public becomes tired of their judgement and condemnation. People 1.Mike Tyson will bite a police officer and be committed to a lock-up. 2.Rosie O'Donnell quits daytime TV and adopts another baby. 3.Scandal erupts over Oprah's life with Steadman. 4.Big shake-up in the program "60 Minutes." New people are brought on. 5.An investigation into the death of Princess Di will reveal an insidious plot. The photographers will be exonerated. They will come to find that a remote-controlled device was put into the engine. 6.The old case of Princess Grace of Monaco should be reviewed also, as her death was not an accident either. 7.OJ Simpson seems to drop out of all public view and never resurfaces. 8.The Jon-Benet Ramsey murder case begins with total family involvement. All attempts to pin it on an outside source fail.
