<<One thing is certain, you are quick.>> One thing is even more certain...I am right. <<You must be a genius to see through the Y2K scam>> Not really. A lot of people do...including the Y2K consultants who are using this hoax to earn money. <<Quite a lot of people, including heads of governments, officers of major corporations, experts in computing and communications, are convinced that the Y2K problem is real.>> I agree there is a problem. However, you must be incredibly naive about computing in general to believe that it is anywhere near as large as the hypesters would have you believe. <<As a proof he offers 'a small fortune' he made by shorting them>> There must be some reason that they are not earning money - and their stock prices are going down. Let me guess what you're going to say - it's because the vast majority of the world's corporations are still "unaware" of the problem. <<I don't know what is going to happen in 2000.>> Neither do I. <<I don't know if any of US, Russian, French, British or Chinese missiles get airborne, or how many, if any, utilities stop providing their products and services, creating shortages of water, electricity or gas. One can continue the list of questions that cannot be answered with 100% certainty.>> Been reading a little too much science fiction lately? <<Wait a moment, this successful shortseller says we don't need to worry. Everything will be fine.>> I PROMISE you that there will not be a worldwide Y2K calamity. <<Short the Y2K companies and you will make some money, too.>> Most intelligent investment advice you've given so far.
