<<unless volume picks up or other stock indices rise in tandem>> It takes a highly paid (?) Street talent to predict that DJIA is not going to skyrocket unless S&P500 goes up too.

I've been starting to wonder if we might get a BK after all. I have come to discover that my home PC is likely going to go cuckoo come 2000. And not from software (although I'm sure Softy has left enough Y2K bugs in my system to crash for that reason, too) but from the embedded firmware and microcode. How these as***pes couldn't take into account a problem 5 years out .... on second thought this was probably part of the master plan. -nfg- I suppose my car will die too due to this great forethought. Read some of the posts by experts over on the Y2K hardware threads. Power grids dropping, coal trains not running, ships not working. And I thought this was only a pure software problem. And the problem is coming quicker than 2000. The NRC is supposedly going to shut down nuke power plants next June if they can't "prove" they are compliant. (What are they going to do change the clock and see if they start a meltdown? I guess my computer problem isn't that big a deal cause there won't be any juice to run it on.) Companies with fiscal year ends may hit the wall before they thought. And how is Asia going to fit this on their heaped over plates? Wonder when auditors will start qualifying reports for risk and the media starts the scare stories? Regards, DWW
