To illustrate, suppose you put $1000 into an an index fund tracking the Dow in 01/1990. In real terms--controlling for inflation--this would now be worth roughly $1450, representing a return of approximately 2% per year, which represents modest capital appreciation. If we were looking for a trough, we would seem to be in the range. The bubble-and crash model, however, (referred to in this blog) shows a tendency for actors to overshoot. In this regard, we can reasonably expect the Dow to reach the 4000s before the end of this so-called "great recession."Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308284948522365132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819757847373047492.post-87731013188962821232009-03-06T11:28:00.000-08:002009-03-06T11:28:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308284948522365132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819757847373047492.post-15910782949010280452009-02-23T11:37:00.000-08:002009-02-23T11:37:00.000-08:00Could something be done by i.e. the FED, or the go...Could something be done by i.e. the FED, or the government to end it earlier? <BR/>Which measures do you think would be the most effective ones?questionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08465676169767361453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819757847373047492.post-52389340697981024572009-01-24T11:09:00.000-08:002009-01-24T11:09:00.000-08:00Ralph, I estimated your model using data and based...Ralph, I estimated your model using data and based on the magnitude or how large c2 gets gives one some indication of how long the it will take the crash to bottom out, meaning how long it will take to start an uptrend. According to the data it will take at least 18 months. That is 18 starting from July 2008.Dr. Feldmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237909449279412940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819757847373047492.post-30635518518137987952008-11-03T08:43:00.000-08:002008-11-03T08:43:00.000-08:00Assymetric knowledge of information ?Zillion$ deri...Assymetric knowledge of information ?<BR/><BR/>Zillion$ derivative market bubble waiting to explode, geopolitic events, death of the $ (fiat currencies), end of America as we know it ?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475402220495693759noreply@blogger.com
