What's with the swoon starting in 2000? I thought it was supposed to be a dot com bubble, not a manufacturing bubble.

When the bubble burst companies didn't need new telecom equipment.Also, all the pre-Millenium computer buying meant less demand after 2000 started.

Right, Y2K had a whole lot to do with the boom and bust. Why didn't Greenspan know that? He inverted the yield curve anyway. Such are the perils of a managed economy.
