I always type much faster than I think: This is a good article to check out: Long-term effect of GM crops serves up food for thought Nature 398, 651-656 (1999) Briefing ...I'll get back to you on this one. May have to start a thread!

Rejoining late, I'm semi-organic (on peaches, I'd use dormant oil & lime-sulpher before bud-out, then BT. I'd get a few worms, but you know, if you cut open a peach you can see the worms pretty easy (they rarely bothered pears tho - worst offenders were bees & wasps) When the Japanese Beatles would start defoliating the trees, I'd use an organic treatment from a catalogue. If that did not work, I'd use hard core pesticides once. If that did not phase them, I'd pick whatever I could, then go back to hard core to save the trees & toss the fruit. Remember in Europe, the Greens have a lot more political influence than here, and when you combine that with non-numeric trade barriers, such as the Japanese have specialized in, it's a nasty combo. Strongly agree with your sentiments Mike. Scott

Based on understanding at start of year, continue EQNX 10 5/8 PERL 3 1/16 BNTI .30 VVID 3 1/8 TRIBY 1 21/32 AXPH 4 3/16 VICL 13 3/4 short S&P 500 futures the remaining 30% (never did shorts/futures in my life, but am convinced Y2K may still have a major impact - can a kind soul price this 4 me? If changes are possible, drop axph, vicl, vvid add nzym 5 3/4 tbac 16 1/4 axc 4 3/4 I would have liked to have added ptix & adic - big real winners for me, but they're both overbought currently at the end of big runnups, so the 6 month upside may be limited (I believe I plugged this earlier on the thread when much cheaper) AXC has also been great YTD (an actual hold) Biotechs have been my sore spot this year.
