Is this an appropriate place to discuss possible y2k shorts? I don't mean the kind that would interest y2k naysayers. Quite the opposite: Assuming, as most of us here do, that y2k is an extremely serious problem, what are some companies that are going to start to feel the y2k pinch soon? For example, PSFT comes to mind. With 21 months to go, how many y2k noncompliant companies can afford to initiate a PSFT enterprise-wide overhaul of their business systems as a solution for their y2k problems? Answer: Fewer and fewer. Somewhere along the line, I feel, PSFT is going to issue a warning about future revenues being hurt by y2k. I'd like to be short on PSFT on that particular day. Any thoughts?
