Re: Reality Check: Are Y2K Stocks a Bunch of Hype? Inspired by a post by Svejk on Bill Wexler's "2000 Date-Change Problem: Scam, Hype, Hoax, Fraud" thread (#reply-4037039), I did a quick check of the performance of 39 Y2K stocks that I track (CMND was excluded because it just IPO'd) over the last 50 weeks (the closest round number SI's charts allow, and approximately when Bill began his thread). The results were conclusive, 28 of the 39 stocks either held their value or went up. In fact, combined, the group averaged a whopping 92% gain. Here are the stocks in descending order of gain/loss: TAVA 821 CBSL 551 SYNT 531 MAST 296 MERQ 209 IMRS 195 SPRI 186 SPNSF 150 CPWR 139 ISLI 119 KEA 109 MIFGY 102 CDO 89 PLAT 80 ALYD 57 TSRI 56 SDS 55 TSK 44 CHRZ 42 VXTK 34 TPII 33 CRYSF 30 DSYS 26 ANLY 26 ACLY 25 CACI 17 COGIF 3 COGNF 0 ----------- UCMP -3 SEEC -8 ZITL -30 CSGI -32 IAIC -36 AGCR -37 SAA -45 DDIM -53 ZMAX -54 VIAS -63 PTUS -76 === AVERAGE 92 - Jeff
