Earlie: re y2k: accidents at various oil facilities have been increasing markedly since the beginning of the year. actually the oil industry has never before reported as many problems in such a short period of time. explosions at refineries, wells not working as they should, pipelines shutting down, you name it. of course nothing of this has been officially attributed to y2k problems (fear of law suits?)but it seems a strange confluence of events as it were... regards, hb

Earlie, I live this market every day. I have watched as account after acount has left to the young broker who has a hot technology hand. The last time I saw this was during Bre-x, as account after account left far the jungles of Indonesia,only to come back with denge fever as their stocks evaporated.Fever is a fever be it iN GOLD or OIL or TULIPS or "TECHNOLOGY" I do not blame them as greed is the key to the brokerage business,and without it, all there would be is fear[which no one has except the MANAGER of the credit dept.]As an old timer said of this market "it will not be over untill Wall Street has the last client by the heel's and shakes that final dime out of his pocket". The brokerage business is the best trained in the world for getting the asset's of the people by using greed.
