Have you read this?

From reading these Y2K threads, the doomsayers still don't want to believe this problem can be solved.

Bad math Bill checks his portfolio.

Let's see how my Y2K short recommendations are doing...

Since the thread was first started:

ACLY is DOWN about 1 a share
ZITL is DOWN about 17 a share
VIAS is DOWN about 37 a share
DDIM is DOWN about 16 a share
IMRS is UP about 12 a share (after backing out the 3 for 2 split)

According to my bad math, an investor that was long all 5 stocks (EITHER equal amounts of each stock or equal dollar amounts of each stock) would not be too happy right now. On the other hand, the S&P 500 is up over 30% in the same time frame.

By the way, I consider all 5 stocks to STILL be excellent shorts.

The Y2K issue is an overblown hoax.
