Man, I hope you're right about that. Did you see TGLO? I've never owned it, but I watched it for a while last year or the year before- it's now under a buck!! Pity those poor shareholders. Unbelievable. How can anyone say we're not in a bear market for tech- I guess I'm the slow one to catch on here. I need to learn how to short. I picked up some Apple today at 26, just thought it looked stupid cheap. I'll trade it- no desire to keep anything right now. I did a little trade this week on Yahoo that worked out, buying at 89 and selling at around 95. Seems like this is the only way to make any money, everything I've held onto just wastes away, or bounces back and forth in a little boring range... Did you just lose interest in DYN, or might you pick it up again? -Kate

It's beginning to look more and more to me that Greenspan overshot with his last rate hike. "Severe competitive price pressures...."??? Caterpillar Warns Net Below Expectations PEORIA, Ill. (Reuters) - Caterpillar Inc. (CAT.N), the world's largest maker of construction and mining equipment, on Friday said it expects its third quarter profits to be about 15 percent below analysts' consensus estimate of 68 cents per share. However, the Peoria, Ill.-based company said its outlook for the full year remains unchanged, with sales and revenues expected to improve slightly over 1999 and profit expected to increase moderately. In 1999, Caterpillar reported sales and revenues of $19.7 billion and profit of $946 million or $2.63 per share. Caterpillar said a smaller-than-expected profit in the latest quarter stemmed from weakness in the euro and pound sterling, continued softness in the North American construction and global mining industries, significant and accelerating weakness in the market for truck engines and the impacts of high energy costs and continued severe competitive price pressures. Caterpillar said it is redoubling its efforts to aggressively reduce costs this year.
