Good question!
Which brings up a good point, How long do you hold on to Y2K stocks?
I know a lot of people will be taking what money they have out of the Market and Financial Institutions as precautionary measures. This move will shock our economic system. 1999 is a crucial period for some systems due to programmers using the '99' character as infinity. I work for a Company that some of our programs use the '99' as never expire fields. We could start seeing issues arise as early as the beginning of next year. That is if these Companies don't start fixing they're systems soon. Just my .02

Hugo -

We could be looking at a MAJOR CRASH like never seen before in the history of the Dow Jones. If so do any of you folks have any timeframes.

If I were a gambling man, I'd bet that we'll see 10,000 on the DOW before we see that mother of crashes.

Tulip bulbs anyone?
