What do you mean Y2K crisis? That little bug thingy. :o) zdnet.com zdnet.com And not to mention the looming Y2K crisis, which will send most ordinary folk to the bank for cash and/or PM's, just in case. There is an outside chance that Y2K problems could shut down international bank settlements, creating a banking crisis. In that scenario, your digits on your bank book would mean diddly-sqat, just like in Russia recently. Whether it happens or not, it will be prudent to have some insurance.......

BOB: Armstrong has made many good calls, but quite a few awful ones as well. He was right on stocks and bonds last summer, but disastrously wrong on the yen. He was totally wrong on oil a few years ago. His call for new lows in the stock market this year also looks to be way off base. I still see real short-term US rates as the golden key and they are coming down. BTW, he has been calling for $200 gold for quite some time. So this is not a new forecast
