Bill, How does your portfolio compare? Up 100% in 1996, up about 65% in 1997, for the y2k's in my rollover IRA that I actively "manage". I also have a position in KEA purchased in 1990 and 1991 that is up about 2,000%. Anyone who bothered to buy after this post would be doing well too: exchange2000.com

Humbly report, Bill (notice I didn't call you silly Billy, 'cause I'm bending over backwards this year to be nice to everyone - even to morons), I believe you are just a tad late with your 1997 prediction, unless you mean this: Subject 15277 But in any case, most of us here will probably agree with you that in 1998 "investors will continue to lose money in Y2K scams and speculation". That's why some of us created entities such as FBNA. However, intelligent and researched investments in solid y2k issues with strong fundamentals and proven track records sure look more and more like smart investments to most of us here - except you, of course. Please short away - someone has to do it - might as well be you. Off the top of my head I certainly can't think of a anyone that deserves the fate of y2k shorting - at this point in time - more than you do. I humbly remain maybe at Cafe Svejk, close to the mail slot of the FBN mailroom, virtually near the Mala Strana side of Charles Bridge, which may become a popular tourist destination for wealthy Y2K investors, where they will brave crowds of rum-soaked "eccentrics", all claiming to be Josef Svejk, demanding to be served great hot rum, gratis, just like yours truly, Svejk (GL-15 applies: digiserve.com ;-)
