Mark, <<While some consider investing in the new economy foolish, can one pick a worse investment than what we've just experienced this year?>> Well, certainly you have a point. But on the other hand, back in '96 and the first half of '97, these stocks (SEG, HDD/QNTM, and WDC, not to mention some of the component stocks like RDRT, HTCH, and even APM) were riding high, and were all among the best performing stocks on the exchanges. Obviously (now it is obvious, anyway) it was not the right time to buy them. Now you want to puke before you buy them. Where have I heard that before? Best wishes, Sam

Dear Mark: Having done some DD, I feel good about MXTR. It has reduced operating costs and increased revenues. It has a strong balance sheet and products that are popular. All this during the toughest competitive period possible. Fortunately, last month, MXTR was able to raise prices on key products. Something that this sector has not seen in about two years. WDC is looking weaker and weaker. It may not survive. The demise of WDC can only help MXTR. Call me a "fool" if you want, but I believe the Year 2000 will prove to be very good for MXTR.
