Thanks. I am just posting some stuff that I am reading on the internet. I try to think in terms of scenarios (good / medium / worst scenario); under the motto 'hope for the best; prepare for the worst'. I started the thread 'SI : Y2k Denial' recently. exchange2000.com E.g. Jenna (whom I highly admire as one of the best stocks pickers on SI) does not recognise possible major Y2k impact on the stock market. By provoking / posting on other threads now and then, I try to get a feeling of current feelings/thinking of the 'avarage' investor (SI members) towards Y2k, and trends in this thinking. This is a very crude way to get a feeling of investor's attitude towards Y2k. In the coming months we will see a trend towards much more concern among investors. I am more and more inclined to think that the market crash that will end this bull market will be Y2k-fear-induced; and not by further crises in SEA, Russia, elsewhere; or inflation fears. I hope to use this as a way to time my exit of the stock market (apart from hedging thru gold stocks; buying puts on indexes etc). Regards, John
