When Mr. Rubin and his friends are ready for the BK, he will tell Greenspan to turn the taps off to insure a complete incineration of the markets.

Heinz, they can top the liquidity splurge by making it illegal to sell your stocks to keep values up so we can all be paper milionaires -vbg- Mike

Heinz, my vote is still that they will be using y2k as a fig leaf when it pops. The absolutely fascinating thing right now is listening to several people I work with who are sitting on 100%+ gains on some of these firecracker stocks anguish over whether or not sell now and take the tax bite or not. They are FULLY aware of how goofy it is but don't want to give even a fraction of the gain back in the form of taxes and are planning on selling early next year. Your tax loss theory is very valid based on what I am hearing. The Fed has succeeded in creating the most volatile situation imagineable, it is just waiting for a match. Regards, Ken.
