Stuart - Is the company TOPRO, nasdaq TPRO, the best investment for those that address the Y2K problem? TPRO is one of many (and will certainly be many more) companies playing into the Y2K arena. Currently they appear to have a very useful niche addressing embedded systems... all those little computers (chips) buried inside other things like HVAC, security systems, pumps & on & on... Far too early to label any company as a "best investment"... too much hype surrounding the companies & too little understanding of the problem by the potential customers. Do your own homework & don't pretend that the locker room chatter here is investment research. - David

Stuart The Best y2k Investment The best Y2K investment cannot be answered without considering the risk reward profile of a given investor. This requires an explicit understanding of the time horizon of the investor as well. In my case I am looking to maximize my return on my y2k portfolio through 6/1/98. I am willing to accept a significant downside potential in exchange for maximum gain. This is why I margin to the hilt and have only three y2k stocks.If you will describe your risk profile maybe we can be of further help.
