A second chance to profit from the Y2K hoax.

In late 1996 and early 1997 investors got taken to the cleaners when they gambled (and lost) on Y2K "remediation" companies such as ZITL, DDIM, ALYD, etc. We made a fortune shorting these stocks.

Unbelievably, investors are getting the shaft yet again, as they sell great hardware companies over "Y2K concerns".

I consider this the greatest buying opportunity for these stocks in a long time. Here is a chance to profit from scientific illiteracy...only this time from the long side. I predict that the current downturn in computer orders over silly Y2K fears and superstitions will resolve itself into skyrocketing demand as we approach and cross the new year.
