TED, re: award-winning Millennium Bug Toolkit™, eh? Wonder if that's anything like PINC's Millenium Bug Compliance Kit™, planetcity.com …claiming to be flying out the doors at 14k units per month. And of course, you remember those Cashco chaps, Y2K and kitty litter… So many of these little OTC:BB Y2K 'vendors' have popped up over the past six months with dubious claims; I'm half-expecting to hear the late-night sales pitch: "Don't be fooled by imitations—get the 'original' Millenium Bug Kit for only $49.95! But wait—there's more! Order now and we'll send you a free set of Ginzu Steak Knives! They slice, dice, and—wow!—can they ever julienne fries! Operators are standing by&#133" Shares in Home Shopping Network, anyone?

Interest rate cuts - waiting for two more cuts, 1/4 each, to keep our Dow momentum up. Thanks Uncle Greenspan. As Japan starts to raise cash to bail out their banks, US corporations spending cash on y2k. Thailand, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan are coming out of their problems. Indonesia, Malaysia, Russia, will stay in the dumps longer. India and China beat each other on GDP growth of 5-6%. Next qtr will be great to watch: earnings surprises (positive or negative) vs. year-end selling. Uncle Greenspan has to throw in a cut or two, one at a time, to keep the average floating and building confidence until the January buying kicks in. All the cash sitting on the sidelines will break loose and raise the Dow even further. The y2k sector will roar again? No. of posts in this thread is increasing. It is as good an indicator as any. Adding more with greed and dreaming. Ram
