VIAS = crap, DDIM = crap, ZITL = crap Let's review what we've learned so far: 1) Don't invest in fads. 2) Don't day trade - stick to a consistent strategy. 3) Many "Y2K" companies have weak core businesses and are not good investments. 4) The Y2K fad is based on faulty premises and a basic misunderstanding of the software consulting/maintenance business. 5) Making fun of me will not make the price of these stocks move up. Have a good week gentlemen.
