CBS, Irwin Keller, A few days ago I sent an e-mail to mr. Irwin Keller from CBS- market watch. Today I received this response. See my next column. ILK. >>> Paul van Wijk <pvanwijk@wxs.nl> 05/18/98 07:32pm >>> Mr. Kellner, With all my respect I cannot believe a well-respected person like you is totally denying. There is such an overwhelming amount of evidence available, only by following the main-stream press-releases at Reuters I almost believe you know more than you are saying. If not, ING BARINGS, friday released a report of the impact of Y2k-fallout on the stock-market. Almost every BLUE-chip companie, like Royal Dutch, Philips, Unilever, Heineken, AKZO etc. are not in control and beyond schedule. Holland is one of the front-runners world-wide. The scenario they presented was ABOVE AVERAGE OPTIMISTIC. Allthough the index dropped 1,5% today, while the less-risked sector stocks like It-companies rose over 7% on the news. People have became so greedy. The report is really shocking for anyone who is capable of absorbing the news. Increasing interest-rates, increasing unemployment, increasing inflation. I still doubt if you are unaware, but if you are I would suggest you do your home work on the ING-BARINGS report. There are only a few people at the exit. The rest is still fooling by denying. The problem is for real and is way beyond the so called Cobol-bugs. Ever heard of embedded-systems. These tiny little timebombs in every chemical, nuclear-plant, in satelites, the energy-supply. Our country is not in control, your control is not in control, UK is not in control is the rest of the world, I won't even think about it. Read the press-releases about the Y2k at G8. I don't want to convince you. But I hope you can understand that it is hard to believe that a well-respected man like you seems to be totally unaware of the biggest timebomb under the stock-market ever in the history of mankind. I'll hope what you are doing. With regards, Paul
