Kerry, I'm really jealous. The FBN R&D department started on such a project of predicting the future in the market early last year and failed miserably. However, we did get really good at telling people what had already happened. Then Svejk came up with a brilliant idea: why not write our daily summaries in such a way that made it look like we had actually predicted the results! But, alas, when we got so swamped with Y2K work we had no choice but to sell off that product. Take heart, though, as the story does have a happy ending. The company that bought FBN's revolutionary "pat-yourself-on-the-back-for-pretending-you-told-them-so" technology is still alive and kicking. You may have heard of them: briefing.com. - Jeff
