Excellent reading:
'Tidal Wave', by Robert Prechter Jr.
'Achilles Shield', by Philip Bobbit (not the bro to Lorraine).
Before you wind out a vitriolic response to Prechter, take a long, hard, objective look at his record.
Same goes for Bobbit.
How does this relate to SARS?
Any replication of mine, here, regarding the research and conclusions of these two giants would be a poor one indeed, so just go out and buy the book yourself, or go to a library.
Go ahead. Wail and gnash the teeth. Then hit me with a few abusive emails or posts, but the Dow is set to go to 1000, minimum, after 300 years of a larger trend upwards.
SARS is one road; ghastly nuclear explosions in major cities, another.
And we are at war again - after an end to what is being referred to as the Long War (1914 - 1990), this time with global terrorism, pitted against against a nation-state (USA) that has proved it is not going to sit by and idly watch the virtual nation-state of Al Qaeda tear its avowed enemy apart.
Prepare for a long and difficult 50 years.
And say goodbye to some major icons; in this case, CX (SARS).
