To all: Time to get this thread goin' again. comp.software.year-2000 newsgroup started a small discussion yesterday re: buying puts on the indices. cory hamasaki came forward with a few IT related dates that might be turning points. His post is under the header OT: Markets Go Postal, 08/11/98 6:21 p.m. Another poster has been tracking DJIA LEAPS and another suggests an OEX strategy. Interesting reading. "flatsville"

The real question is: How long will the power be cut?

Investor-ex... Thanks for the link. Now one question for those still in Y2K denial. Exactly how would companies deal with a nationwide "power cut"?? Geezus!!! I love how Merrill uses double speak to downplay this issue. The basically admitted the problem would be severe (eg:power cut), but worded it in a way to make it sound like it would be a mere hiccup without actually stating that. Watch out for creative legalize in these writings. They are full of loopholes and ambiguities. Regards, Ron
