I know you follow the looming Y2K disaster. Message 5166897 Being familiar with the utility business, I can tell you this. They are all starting to build costs into their rate cases to deal with the problem. Now, as to whether they are actually doing anything about it yet? If the lights are on and you can see, check your utility bills carefully for January 2000 and go on the assumption that they are wrong until proven otherwise. -ng-

MB, where did you get that 2% of GDP factoid? 1993-1997 was "cellular". Will 1998-2000 be GPS (Global Positioning Systems)? I think so. Of the GPS stocks, I like LEIX, because of the current low market cap to revenue ratio. (market cap of 18 million, with revenues of 120 million) Thinly traded, a low float, and an estate which must sell 34,000 shares per Q, make this stock a volatile pony. But as they do on Aseteague Island, they run the ponies during low tide. Check LEIX out, if you have time, and give me all the reasons you can think of why LEIX won't go to $30 from $5, as I think it will. Good Trading, LF
