Re: "Does anyone but me get the feeling that you have seriously missed the boat, and the boat is headed to Asia?" Asian funds have done very well since fall 1998. I sold my New Asia fund (after three very lackluster years) upon Bob's recommendation, just before the SE Asia currency crisis. I was tempted to try to bottom-fish several times over the past year (as I posted here), but never did pull the trigger. I bought the diversified international fund that Bob recommended instead. Still, I have been participating in the recovery to some extent with an Asia-Pacific fund I own too. Best wishes, I2

Re: "Does anyone but me get the feeling that you have seriously missed the boat, and the boat is headed to Asia?" usatoday.com I guess that just goes to show that getting out at the top is only half of the problem. One must also worry about the timing of getting back in. Best wishes, I2

Y2K --- FAA: We are A-OK on Y2K: - Copyright © 1999 The Seattle Times Company Business News : Friday, July 02, 1999 FAA: We're A-OK for Jan. 1, Y2K Supposedly, the Federal Aviation Administration now is Y2K-compliant, although its self-imposed deadline passed yesterday with no fanfare. The agency told Reuters that it believes fixes for air-traffic and other computer systems are complete, but it awaits confirmation from Science Applications International, its contractor, and the Department of Transportation's Inspector General. The airline industry, meanwhile, is so Y2K-confident that it launched a promised campaign to assure the public that everything will be normal when computer calendars strike "00" on Jan. 1. U.S. and Canadian airlines are 95 percent of the way toward having so-called "mission-critical" systems capable of recognizing what century it is, the Aviation Millennium Project said yesterday. And no, food still is not regarded as mission-critical.
