This is nonsense. The Wall Street test was small, preliminary, not against 2000 dates (December 29, 1999) and on systems that had already been made Y2K compliant.

Try it on your own computers. When my computer date is 00 or beyound weird things happen. Try it. No permanent damage. When you reset to correct date everything returns to normal.

Just because Wall street is ready doesn't mean the rest of the world is. The test absolutely should work because they already spent tons on money and time in remediation efforts. I can't believe this will be a measurement factor for the performance of Y2K stocks. Now with Clinton legitimizing Y2K problem today saying we need a massive programming effort to complete this task that is more of a Y2K impact then Wall Street testing programs that should work!

The initial tests were run according to a script and were limited to uncomplicated transactions involving relatively small volumes of stock, bonds and options contracts. The securities industry is one of the most computerized and wealthiest in the economy and is ahead of most other sectors in addressing their problems. "The securities industry will spend between $5 billion and $6 billion through 1999 to fix the bug." (John Panchery Y2K project manager at the Securities Industry Association; sponsor of the present Wall Street testing)
