FINANCIAL PLANNING I am spending as much time thinking about how to protect my financial assets from the adverse ultimate consequences of Y2K as I am trying to maximize any financial gain from the positive aspects from a Y2K investors point of view.I am currently building plans around an assumption the market will crash once Greenspan tells Congress they had better be prepared for significant adverse economic consequences.I belive this may in the August 99 Humprhey Hawkins testimony. I am interested in other people views on the timing of a market nose dive and why. Cheryl thanks for starting this thread.
