Here is what I posted in #464: ACLY 17 26 up 50% DDIM 32 17 down 45% IMRS 25 45 up 80% VIAS 52 31 down 40% ZITL 25 12 down 50% Besides the fact that I used rough estimates for the prices (I threw out the fractional portions for the sake of simplicity...oops, and I missed Zitel's exact closing price on 6/1/97) and estimated the percentage changes instead of using a calculator...just what exactly is your problem, and why do you insist on behaving like a moron? Interesting that you would claim that you only invested in IMRS. I don't believe you. Furthermore , I would wager that you are a net loser overall in the stock market and in Y2K stocks.

Steve STILL has trouble keeping his facts straight! Steve Woas believes that he can destroy my entire argument about the Y2K hoax by pointing out that I made "math errors" in post 464. In post 464 I was simply replying to Stevie's post #462 where he rants: <<If a person had shorted the stocks you suggest in your header for this thread, with equal amounts of money in each, they would be way down at this point.>> This is an extreme exaggeration. If a person would have invested equal amounts of money short in each stock when I started the thread I believe they would have been slightly in the red or break-even at that date. If a person would have shorted an equivalent number of shares of each stock they would have made a significant profit. I believe that a patient investor will eventually make a significant profit shorting these stocks (even starting today) by any metric. I pointed out that I was proven 100% correct on 3 of the 5 picks at that date, and that eventually I would be proven 100% correct on 5 out of 5.

Re: "Your time frame is out of context." Steve, Believe it or not I have read the thread, so what are you talking about? My time frame, is the beginning of the thread until now. What is your time frame? If there is a special time frame that highlights the Y2K companies talked about at the beginning of this thread, I wish you would have told me so that I can make a bunch of money on these picks. Steve, Bill called you a moron, why should I not believe this? Regards Tom
