WereWolves of OSX will own 1st 6 months of 2000 AAAAAAAAAAA OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm gettin me some FLC chow mein. Bloomberg Energy Mon, 13 Dec 1999, 9:24pm EST 12/13 20:02 South Korea's Industrial Electricity Use Rises to Record in November By Judy Lee Korea Industrial Electricity Use Rises to Record in November Seoul, Dec. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Korea's industrial electricity use rose to a record in November, as manufacturers boosted output to gear up for a faster-than-expected economic expansion. Manufacturers' electricity use totaled 11,199 gigawatts per hour last month, topping the previous high of 11,074 gigawatts per hour set in October, said Lee Dong Wook, a spokesman for Korea Electricity Power Corp., the nation's monopoly electricity distributor. ``The nation's total electricity use already exceeded the pre-crisis level,' said Lee. ``Also, the increase has picked up speed since June.' The figures are the latest sign that the economy, which slid into its worst recession last year, is powering ahead and on track for its best year in a decade. Korea's government expects growth of nearly 10 percent this year. The surging consumption will help bolster earnings at Korea Electric Power, known as Kepco, which now expects about 1.2 trillion won ($1 billion) of net profit this year, compared with 787 billion won last year. Kepco said its revenue from electricity sales totaled 13.9 trillion won, or 195,080 gigawatts per hour, in the first 11 months of this year, up 9 percent from a year ago in terms of value. In November alone, the total electricity use rose to 18,545 gigawatts per hour, from 18,410 gigawatts per hour in October and 16,462 gigawatts per hour a year ago. Many of the nation's big industrial groups are investing more money in plants and increasing inventories in anticipation demand will expand. Korea's industrial output rose 1.7 percent in October from September and 30.6 percent from a year earlier. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¸ Copyright 1999, Bloomberg L.P.

Hello otter,personally I'm not looking for any huge bounce from FLC.I do believe the downside is fairly limited(let's hope),and there is opportunity for some profit. On the other hand,I think the techs are getting "airish"(as in thin),so my thinking was to take an initial position here,with the rest in cash. Have been in JAGTX for most the year, with fantastic results,but watching the top 10 holdings-I'm seeing weakness in the highfliers(although large cap techs did OK yesterday),regardless of recent success with EXDS,I'm stepping off the train for a bit(pun intended<g>)..Good luck.. here are the top 10 of JAGTX yesterday results-you can see what I mean,even with the Nas up(SAPE was strong though) AMAT Dec 13 108 1/16 -1 3/8 -1.26% 4,193,600 CSCO Dec 13 101 3/16 +1 3/8 +1.38% 18,419,100 EXDS Dec 13 167 11/16 - 5/16 -0.19% 3,072,400 JDSU Dec 13 234 1/16 -10 3/16 -4.17% 3,835,600 NOK Dec 13 167 1/16 - 15/16 -0.56% 3,088,900 SAPE Dec 13 106 19/32 +15 9/32 +16.74% 944,700 SUNW Dec 13 80 7/16 -1 7/16 -1.76% 14,918,600 TER Dec 13 46 1/4 -1 1/2 -3.14% 1,256,100 TXN Dec 13 106 1/16 - 13/16 -0.76% 2,782,600 VRTS Dec 13 107 9/16 -1 1/2 -1.38% 2,364,400 (although the fund was only down .39%) Throw in a boatload of Gov. data coming out this week-who knows... I'm watching the 30 bond and options BP,and hoping for some damn snow!!,Ski country is still green in Vt......later...
