>>What kind of time commitment can you give your money >>invested in stocks of fine companies? I held MSFT for 7 years (sold the last of it this morning). I have held other stocks for multiple years as well (SBUX for 4 years - sold it in April - and INTC for a couple of years - sold it last year). >>CNET, or VTSS, or PG, or NOK? CNET: too volatile, too uncertain VTSS: I know nothing about this company - and I don't buy stocks of companies I know nothing about. PG: Too much international exposure should Y2K cause meltdowns in other parts of the world. NOK: a possibility - but I don't know much about the company. As I mentioned in my previous posts, I think there is a greater likelihood of the overall market heading lower, rather than higher, over the next six months. Therefore, I would rather have a lot of cash at the moment. Thanks, -Eric
