Following an inquiry (in June, 2004) by Jeff Mishlove about the possibility of
correlation between the GCP data and stock market indicators, we
examined the Nasdaq Peak that occurred on March 24 2000. The possibility
of a comprehensive correlational assessment remains in the future, but
this peak was particularly noteworthy, and we thought it worth a try to
see if it might yield to more
focused examination. For the exploration, the whole day was used, since
I did not have more precise timing. The graph below shows the result.
There is no obvious trend or substantial peak in the GCP data on the
24th. For context, though it isn't feasible to make a direct comparison,
a graph of the Nasdaq pricing over several months is also shown,
with the peak on March 24 2000 marked.
