Dear Chinton: I did the same thing in the 80's BOY was I sorry!! I think one has to ignore the NOISE and look at the big picture. Our problem isnt a slowing economy its a TOO HOT economy. Frankly, I prefer the latter over the former. I dont think the future for the stock market is nearly as gloomy as SOME people say. I also think the stocks with the greatest risk are the INTERNUTS and other high flying me tooers. The real solid companies with substantial base to their business and solid financials ought to do well IMHO. I think that IF it were too appear to WCOM that they will be denied this merger they will call it off, not sit on their fingers and wait the outcome. So I doubt the money will be dead as long as some say. Now the question is what happens to the stock price if its called off. I dont know, but I would point out they were doing fine before announcing the merger and this wireless business is NOT going to replace fiber optic IMHO. JDN

Chinton, I thought the same thing in Jan 99 and went to 50% cash, basically selling all my mutual funds and keeping some individual stocks, WCOM among them. As a result, 99 wasn't all that good a year for me. Still waiting for a good re-entry point. When I finally do get back in, (probably this summer), that's it for the next five years. Good Luck. BG

Chinton,I've just read your old post.WCOM is a real bargain now.You have gov bonds,euros and municipal bonds. I have 50% in WCOM, 10% in DELL since recent 40, 25% in bonds,20% cash and the rest is short time investment,high flyers, in which I have the best gains. El Paradisio
