Cheeky: Okay, so the LA Times doesn't check its sources either. If Ed Yardeni really had backed off his 70% recession prediction, that was news. So I went to Yardeni's web site. <<As of March 1999, I still see a 70% chance of a severe global recession. I am the first to admit that there is nothing scientific about my assessment. >> Guess even the press is getting things wrong. Why am I not surprised. Ed Yardeni is a hero of mine. He's been studying this issue for years, he's had private conversations with many IT leaders and he's willing to take a stand. When (and if) he backs down on his recession prediction, I'm sure that he will do it in his Y2K reporter.
