October 2007 Update: In 2002 when this book was published, in addition to the massive depression beginning around the end of the decade, it forecast:1. The economy, as reflected by the DJIA, would resume its upwards march in late 2002 or 2003. This is exactly what happened. 2. The DJIA would have a snapback to 13,000 to 14,000 and the FTSE to 6,000 to 7,000 by 2004, but delayed possibly by wars/politics/terrorism/scandals. This is exactly what has happened. Although the full snapback has been delayed for the reasons described, the DJIA has now closed over 14,100 and the FTSE over 6,700. 3. The DJIA returns from 2003 to 2012 would average a historically long-term normal of 7% to 8%. So far, with the delayed full snapback for the reasons described, DJIA actual returns have averaged a more modest 5.8%, as would be expected. 4. Interest rates would increase from 2003 onwards. This is exactly what has happened.
