Good evening everyone!!......... I heard that HK is up 5% already in early trading, it seems that the US market is not moving in stride with the other markets now, so what does everyone think of this weeks market activity?? Kevin, are you playing anything? Donald, do you have any class 1 buys? I always like to see what the guitar is strumming... Regards, Electric

Hi AT, off topic. I was also raised Catholic - attended Catholic Grade and High Schools. It's curious that many Catholics I know are like me - inactive in the Church. It's interesting you bring the yr2000 subject up today. There was a long article in todays local paper on the 3rd millenium raising hopes and fears. I agree with Jim and TT and others that 2000 will be just another year. This is quoted from the paper. According to a recent AP poll, nearly one of every four Christian adults - an estimated 26.5 million people - expect Jesus to arrive in their lifetimes. Nearly as many - an estimated 21.1 million Americans - are so certain of it that they feel an urgent need to convert friends and neighbors. The most fervent end-timers gather at prophecy conventions like the one held recently at the Sheraton Washington ballroom. For 16 hours a day, the End-Time Handmaidens pray and sway, singing of the day they will "dance on streets that are golden." Around them, middle-aged women, clad in white and gold robes, glide through the aisles while other believers blow into rams' horns, their shrieks announcing the Second Coming. The end is near. The end-timers are here. "We're running out of time. We're running out of time," Sister Gwen Shaw, the group's 72-year-old matriarch, says at the Handmaidens' annual convention. "This is God's last call." America may have already entered what one apocalyptic scholar calls the "hot zone" of end-time speculation: The year 2000 is far enough away to be plausible as Christ's Second Coming, yet close enough to spark intense proselytizing. FWIW, there's plenty more if anyone's interested. kw.
