Wishing a bit prematurely...Happy New Millennium to All!!!

You are about a year premature! As my friends have been saying all year, "You can go celebrate the millennium with all your mensa buddies in 2001--we'll have a millennium party without you!"

Happy Y2K. May January 24th bring us 29&cent.

Steve

Ausdauer, being the "Devil's Advocate" on this thread is an impossible job.

First of all, everyone here is so decent and nice that it's hard to find a flaw in anyone. And then we have SNDK -- whose stock has rocketed 8x this year and is up 20x from its 2-year low. Not to mention that there is nothing on the horizon to make one believe that tomorrow won't be a better day.

And then there's Silver. About 90% of the world's silver supply is used for photographic film and SNDK is busy making film obsolete. As film use diminishes, that silver will likely find its way into crosses to keep the Devil, werewolves, and vampires at bay.

From a Devil's advocate's perspective, this "Millennium" thing has gone totally South. If you read the Bible, the Devil was supposed to come first and wreak havok and then Christ would come to save our souls. With only a day or so left (a year, if you agree with those who think that centuries start with year 1), I can't see how they are going to work that all out. In the meantime, SNDK just keeps going, and going, and going!

To all on this thread, I wish a happy, prosperous, and uneventful New Year.

Craig
