Charles, They reported that their hospital beds were not selling as well as expected and sees a slow down this coming quarter in their Hill/Rom division! HB is a long term holding of mine and I added to my position on the weakness! The Hillenbrand family owns a big stake in it and I do not see them letting things get out of hand! By the way they are a very conservative company and usually warns more than should be, kind of like MSFT does! Hank

Charles, I have a gut feeling that the sh*t's gonna hit the fan real soon. Maybe when the Sheeple start to get their 401K statements? Maybe when LTCM goes belly up? Maybe When the House Judiciary proceeds with impeachment hearings? Maybe when Brazil devalues? China devalues? Japan implodes? I've got my 5/00 gold calls, my WMT, GE and INTC LEAPS and today bought some FCX-D pfd stock @ 13/3/8 (pays the value of 1/2 oz silver as a dividend per year for 8 years starting 8/99 - 8/06 plus a qtrly dividend of .045 oz silver equivalent). Next year shall be interesting with the introduction of the Euro and Y2K (perception is reality) tick, tick, tick.
