If the model can really predict what the market does, everyone will be millionaire and we will all buy and sell in concerted action, and we will see DOW shoot up 500 today and down 500 tomorrow. That will be really fun.:) Oh, BYW, do you really believe that it's a fair comparison between today's economics with that of 1929? Well, at least we are allowed to daydream.

Derrivatives of the 90's are the 5% margin requirements of the 20's.
There was an interesting article in Barrons last November by an analyst who calculated that if the market was to drop 20-30% in a very short time the Merrills and Goldmans etc. would be in the hole for $ 250B. But we all know that will never happen......again.
