jgibbs: Syntel ... hmmm ... that name rings a bell. Say, isn't that the stock that I thought about buying into a few weeks ago when it was around 10? Yeah, I think it was. But I decided not to buy because the downtrend hadn't flattened out yet. Symbol is SYNT. quote.yahoo.com 40% profit in a couple of weeks. Missed it by that much. Aaaaarrrggghhhh !!! TED

jgibbs - Syntel's statement seems to support my assumption of labor shortage. >>>"The main reason we created and continue to expand this program is that there is a major, major shortage of IT people in the US," according to Syntel's director of marketing.

Has the labor changed suddenly? If it has, it is consistent with our expectation. Does Syntel have a proprietary y2k tool or they license others' tools? Ram
