Re: What's All the Fuss -- A Y2K Investment Quiz
1. Is the Year 2000, "Millennium Bug", a $200-$600 billion problem?
A. Yes, I believe the estimates by the leading research firms
B. No, it's all a hoax! All those F500 company contracts announced by ALYD, IMRS, KEA etc are all part of an elaborate conspiracy perpetrated by James Bond's arch enemy, Goldfinger, to prop up the price of gold
C. Maybe. I don't read trade journals, I don't trust the sci fi channel; I'm waiting for Ted Koppel, Time and Newsweek to tell me the problem is real-- and PEs of Y2K stocks to hit 4 digits.
[If "A", please continue]
[If "B", others that agree with you post here: Subject 2448 ]
[If "C", please read the posts here: Subject 16203]
2. When choosing a Y2K stock, I want a company that is:

3. I feel qualified to comment on the high PEs of Y2K stocks because:

5. Every time I see old quotes from Y2K company CEOs dredged up I think:

P.S. Aloha from Hawaii. Internet access is long distance from the Big Island and I have not had time to be on-line for more than a few minutes, and just once before now. Keep in mind that ALYD likes to save news for when I go away for some reason (gg). |
