Phil, I'm in your spot. I also think the belligerent angle, like Iraq among others, may be under estimated especially with the Monica biz. I don't want to guess where things are going; I nearly filled out my total put position this morning, but a little after midday I was starting to wonder if that was so smart. -g- So, I guess I will hold my cards rather than trying to time. I'm Oct to Jans so I have some time. Regards, DWW

Phil, I bought the OEX AUG 565 CALLS for 1 9/16. I am only looking for a bounce in the OEX of 10-15 points in the next few days. My intent is to initiate a CREDIT SPREAD(bearish), but I need a small pop. Im a trader going after as many ripples as possible. I do believe we are going lower - how much lower? - well per my previous notes here I will just be watching support lines holding or breaking and other technical signs. Seeya Seeya

Phil >> What could it be this time?<< if I may add a couple 4) Japan deciding it's time to reverse Yen trade & convert US Treasury holdings back to Yen @ 145-150 just before they start to recover and strengthen the yen 5) Euro conversion more costly programming effort than Y2K & first phase starts this Jan 1999 6) The largely-ignored-lately Y2K firefighting effort taking attention from core business 7) The fact that the internet fad stocks aren't making money and have little barrier to entry The only stock I know of with 100% year to year increases in earnings estimates for the next 3 years and a several year firm backlog is Boeing (which has already crashed). I'd appreciate others sharing any stocks that have realistic estimates to increase earnings sequentially for the next several years. I'd love to hear of other candidates that should go up for the next couple hard years. regards, Tom re
