In the April 20th "printed edition" of Forbes, Casper Weinberger writes a one page commentary entitled "The Y2K Crisis". Unfortunately, the commentary is not on the Forbes website as of this writing. Weinberger sites several examples of the magnitude of the Y2K problem within the federal government: * The Department of Defense has "about 600,000 embedded chips, many of which will require date correction." * General Accounting Office believes it is unlikely that the 5,000 remaining "mission critical" systems within federal government systems will be fixed in time. There are about 60,000 "non-mission critical" systems that also need saving. * Weinberger compares the Y2K crisis to the savings and loan debacle of a few years ago. In my opinion, it was quite clear from the article that Weinberger grasped the enormity of the Y2K challenges facing all of us.

Message 4008043 Her current investment strategy Part 1: Message 4007693 Part 2: Message 4008648 WARNING WARNING: Do NOT invest in certain stocks purely because of a "personality" you like or follow. Do your OWN DD (Due Diligence). Everyone has different objectives and risk tolerance. I do NOT recommend that the average person follow my percentage ratio in their overall portfolio. The average person SHOULD have a diversified portfolio. Guess I'm just not an average person. Cheryl
