Scenario... 'Situation: February 29, 2000' ' Situation: February 29, 2000 Will Harrell was exhausted. No matter which way you looked at it, being a stockbroker was rarely a popular profession these days. Even though he made money whichever way his clients traded, the fact that so many of them had lost so much money meant that overall his business was down 60% over the previous year. And it looked like it wouldn't recover for at least the next couple of years. Will remembered two years previously. In the early summer of 1998, everything had seemed to be going so well. The Dow had passed the magic 9,000 level and some people said it was headed to break 10,000. Even at these record levels investors were bullish, unemployment was low, the economy was strong. What could possible make this go wrong. Only one little bug... Well one BIG bug as it turned out. .... y2ktimebomb.com
