Agreed The fed got what it wanted, although GreenSpan was much better than the old antediluvian inflation Hawks of the Fed like Meyer. What a total massacre the Year 2000 has been, although I haver done better than most: - dodged the Intel bullet - dodged the Microsoft bullet at 70% (only, too bad) - dodged the dell bullet - invested in sun & emc which have kept their value better than the others. - invested in NTAP , so I am up - stayed in qcom, so I am down, massively - bought PMCS near the high, and Broadcom (less) as well, so now down on both. - down pretty bad on JDSU - lost money on AOL when it announced it merger hell All in all, a very bad year, but it could have been much much worse tell that to Amazon, AOL, or other inut holders, as well as older-era companies like intel, dell, microsoft and especially crappy old IBM.. Take care Welcome back Lynn (and yaacov , keep on posting) Jean

Dear Yaacov: Thanks, although I won't be completely back for another week or so--returning home after 4 months results in a loooooooooong list of things to do in addition to unpacking box after box. Are we in a recession? I honestly do not know but it sure feels like one the way the market is going. On the other hand, employment in the U.S. is high. If anything, there is a problem finding people for all the job openings, something one would not expect in a recession. What I am starting to think is that people [i.e. investors] are less than comfortable with the upcoming presidential election in a background of increasing international tension and down-right violence. Does either candidate have, "The right stuff," on the international level? Regards, Lynn
