Ian
McAvity's DELIBERATIONS
on World Markets
Where the chart first appeared!
A version of this chart
appeared in The Wall Street Journal
on Friday, March 2, 2001 (page C1, above the fold).
It illustrated the article, Bursting of the Tech Bubble Has a Familiar
‘Pop’ to It,
by Steven E. Frank and E.S. Browning.
I want to thank Patricia Minczeski of The Wall Street Journal
for suggesting her ingenious way of squeezing three price axes onto
one chart.
The chart was adapted from one that Topline originally prepared for Ian McAvity's newsletter, Deliberations, over a year before that!.
The original charts (published on January 18, 2000).
