Just to put a final nail in the "Bush Boogeyman Theory:"

EMC Stock prices over the past two years are shown below. And frankly, the turnaround was probably not related to anything political, but something (I don't know what) that the company did at the beginning of October in 2002. Note the huge trading spike at that point.

You know, for someone who claims that he needs every economic opinion notarized by Certified Academic Economists, you sure do go for a lot of stuff posted on GuyLivingInMom'sBasement.com

  • Correction: why did the Clinton recession start? It began in late spring of 2000 with the dot-com collapse. Don't you remember. I notice that your graph omits this period. (n/t) - David F Mayer - 1/29/2004 3:51:04 PM
