Common sense about investing wins out over Y2K hysteria July 07, 1999 sun-sentinel.com!18000000000102462,00.html SNIP: >>>I've changed my mind completely about the Year 2000 problem. Just a few months ago, the hype and hysteria over the Millennium Bug" was making me sick. Opportunists were preying on people's fears of an economic meltdown and peddling risky if not outright fraudulent Y2K" investments.<<< SNIP: >>>But what cheers me the most is that the Y2K doomsayers and fear mongers are being outnumbered and silenced by the responsible financial advisers.<<<

"Facts and Figures for the Chemical Industry" p. 63 from the June 28, 1999 edition (print) of Chemical and Engineering News reports the following: U.S. Chemical trade (% change, 1997-98) exports...-2 imports....9 and a growing dependence on Europe as a trade partner. (With 65% of key suppliers not reporting y2k "readiness" you have to wonder what DD was thinking when they decided not to stockpile supplies.)
