<< Here's my 2nd attempt at when the 40% drop occurs. Friday Dec, 17,1999 >> Options Expiration Day ??? Does that make your scenario more or less likely? I guess if everyone is buying calls on stocks going to the moon, then the MMs will need to bring down stocks to keep their shirts. I think BB is right again. The drop will likely start earlier. It could be an interesting week. It could get very ugly. Black Monday -- 12/20/99 ??? Merry Christmas everyone! The time of year to reflect on the fact that life consists of more than the material possessions that we had! Best wishes to all -- HB
