Pancho and "fund. shorts": at the end of 1997 majority of respondents believed that DJIA should be 10,000 in 1998 (Bus. Week, if my memory is correct). And it should be. You are not against Democracy, I hope? Have a good night. PS: Interesting article about Search engs (rather for user than investor): Science 1998 Apr 3;280(5360):98-100 Searching the World Wide Web. Lawrence S, Giles CL The coverage and recency of the major World Wide Web search engines was analyzed, yielding some surprising results. The coverage of any one engine is significantly limited: No single engine indexes more than about one-third of the "indexable Web," the coverage of the six engines investigated varies by an order of magnitude, and combining the results of the six engines yields about 3.5 times as many documents on average as compared with the results from only one engine. Analysis of the overlap between pairs of engines gives an estimated lower bound on the size of the indexable Web of 320 million pages.

Too right man. I think some patience is called for. I have been under water on ZONA, BFT, PCTY, and a few others for a few months now, and I am not worried. I don't add to these positions, just diversify into others. The big Kahuna will come soon, I just hope its not going to be the mother of them all - thats what worries me.
