The unpopularity of y2k stocks of late has been pointed out by myself and others on this thread. However, as time goes on things will probably change. To wit, read the following excerpt from a GAO report on the y2k problem dated April 30: Year 2000-related problems have already been identified. For example, an automated Defense Logistics Agency system erroneously deactivated 90,000 inventoried items as the result of an incorrect date calculation. According to the agency, if the problem had not been corrected (which took 400 work hours), the impact would have been catastrophic and would have seriously hampered its mission to deliver materiel in a timely manner.\6 In another case, the Department of Defense's Global Command Control System, which is used to generate a common operating picture of the battlefield for planning, executing, and managing military operations, failed testing when the date was rolled over to the Year 2000. As stories are picked up in the press IMO y2k will become a hot sector.
