Those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it. I don't predict that we'll go back to 1000, all I'm saying is that Alan Greenspan said the market was showing signs of "irrational exuberance" when it was only at 1000. Granted he was referring more to the DOW stocks, which are now three times their level then, while the NAZ is only 2.5 times. So I extrapolated: if he considered 1000 was irrational exuberance in 1996, hi might consider it rational now, four years later, at 1000. My school of economics? The school of hard investment knocks, graduate cum-laude Y2K with a 50% portfolio reduction from it's bubble peak :) P.

Officials remain bullish for the coming year, given the economic climate. "There is lots of business out there, and we are well-positioned to get it," says John Shoemaker, the head of Sun's server division. public.wsj.com

Dear Yaacov: I am VERY ENTHUSED for the upcoming year. I think the single MOST IMPORTANT thing that will happen for large companies (those we invest in generally) will be an EASING of REGULATIONS. I will NEVER forgive those Aholes that IMHO DESTROYED WCOM with their CAVELAIR attitude regarding the Sprint merger. Not only were the companies hurt, and the shareholders hurt, but I believe the consumers were too. The ALMOST did the same thing with AOL until they realized BUSH was going to get the nod. Within one DAY they reversed course. Interest rates will of course come down and some type of tax relieve will surely be passed, along with some privatization of Soc. Sec. but again in my mind THE SINGLE BIGGEST THING will be SENSIBLE REGULATION allowing companies to adapt to changing times and compete GLOBALLY with less regulated foreign entities. JDN
