Sherlockgerlach: Trying to plan for Y2K problems is certainly prudent. I suspect however, that those wanting to do as you do, in this Final Week are somewhat late...that most have made their moves over the past couple of months. I may be very wrong about this but to use a stock analogy: Say you see COKE make what you think is one poor managerial move after another over a year or so...but the stock doesn't drop. Then one day the stock is "downgraded" by an analyst or two who are disenchanted with the company, much as you were. Suddenly, with this new "perception" of COKE the stock starts to drop, perhaps precipitously. Selling on this "news" may be late selling. Similarly, taking Y2K (market) precautions this week may be unnecessary. Again, I could be very wrong about this. With your IRA well set you might concentrate on your stock or "trading" funds; Maybe you should just sit back and watch, not try to "time" re-entry'; or buy some of that S&P Index Fund on a limited basis. Just a little food for thought. (Lee)

Biotechs are my buy since last week, and the cheaper 'upstarts' in technology. and scientific and technical instruments. not glamour stocks but they work for me. SCII has been on a tear for weeks, I was stopped out only once. MDCC is another one I picked up when I read it was the #1 leading stock in the sector according to Investor's Business Daily. VGIN #1 from Friday's watch list is now triggering a buy signal.. Another new one I like as well is NGEN
