CCOOOOOOOLLLL!!!!!

Bill, I don't normally wish ill luck on their investments to anyone, but since you seem so d*mn arrogant and obviously blind to what Y2K is all about, I believe an exception is in order.

I can only lose $6 1/2 per share should TAVA go completely belly up (not including "opportunity costs"). By going short for the long term on a stock that is not optionable at this time, you will continue to tie up capital better used elsewhere to maintain your short position and have unlimited loss potential (theoretically speaking).

And Bill, I don't care whether or not it costs $600 Billion or $100 Billion to fix Y2K. Money will never buy you "Time". And if the primary systems that sustain this global economy fail due to IT disruptions, the "cost" in lost GDP capacity may exceed all of our fears.

Think about that $4 Trillion economy sitting across the Pacific teetering on the edge of outright depression. They have hardly begun to deal with Y2K and our financial leaders are already discussing decoupling non-compliant financial systems from those of the US. (And my source is impeccable on this little tidbit)

So go ahead Mr. Wexler... Short away and keep selling those "puts" in your other stocks to maintain your position.

Regards,

Ron
