'You're Ed Yardeni, Wall Street's greatest bull through much of the 1990s and, because of the Y2K computer glitch, you have become the King of the Bears. With each passing day, you grow more concerned and wonder why more is not being done. You're Ed Yardeni. You know you're right, but you hope you're wrong gold-eagle.com

'GLOBAL Y2K ACTION DAY November 27, 1998 (T-Minus 400 Days & Counting) days hrs mins secs Y2K Days On November 27, 1998, there will be only 400 days until January 1, 2000. The Year 2000 Problem (Y2K) is approaching at the rate of 3,600 seconds per hour! We are making progress, but not as fast as the Year 2000 is approaching. On November 27, 1998, Dr. Ed Yardeni will host an Internet GLOBAL Y2K ACTION CONFERENCE all day long. Click here for conference details. We are planning additional conferences at T-minus 300, 200, and 100 days. Action Agenda Now is our chance to make a difference. Here is what we need to do: We need to increase global awareness of the problem. We need to do everything possible to fix the problem while there is still time. We need to assess the likelihood of system malfunctions and failures, and significant disruptions to our businesses, governments, and lives. We need to prepare contingency and disaster recovery plans. We must promote a community approach to this problem. Can do! Here is what we can do: E-mail or write letters to the press now. Alert them that November 27, 1998 is Global Y2K Action Day. Encourage them to investigate local, national, and global Y2K issues. You can e-mail a copy of your generic letters to the press to yardeni@y2kactionday.com. We will select the best ones and post them for others to use. Join together in community action groups to assess vital local systems, especially electric power, heating oil and gas distribution, water supply, sanitation, and telephone service. Work with local authorities on contingency and disaster recovery plans in the event of major disruptions in the systems listed above. Alarm, Not Panic! An informed public may be alarmed by the problem, but with 400 days remaining we can take measures to minimize counter-productive panic reactions. Y2K is a community problem. Indeed, it is likely to have a deep impact on the entire global community. The best way to put it behind us and to prosper once again is by working together. yardeni.com ____ 400 DAY CONFERENCE Agenda & Speakers November 27, 1998 (Subject to change) 08:30 Welcome Statements Dr. Ed Yardeni (bio), Moderator Sen.

ole 49r, Fed will protect US from recession --PNC economist NEW YORK, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan will make sure the U.S. central bank does what it takes to protect the American economy against any risk of recession in 1999, PNC Bank Corp. chief economist Stuart Hoffman said on Monday. ''One primary reason we do not expect a U.S. recession in 1999 is our conviction the Fed can and will do whatever is necessary to cushion our economy's slowdown,'' Hoffman said. Fed policy makers on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meet on Tuesday. The market consensus calls for a 25-basis-point cut in the 5.0-percent federal funds rate which would be the third such move in less than two months. ''Greenspan demonstrated his concern by orchestrating an unusually aggressive easing move by cutting both the funds and discount rates between FOMC meetings,'' Hoffman added, referring to the October 15 easing, the first inter-meeting move in 4-1/2 years. The PNC chief Fed watcher expected the Fed to keep on easing and bring the funds rate to 4.25 percent by mid-1999 without any risk to inflation. He also forecast the U.S. economy will grow by just 1.5 to 2.0 percent next year. biz.yahoo.com How are you! ;-) Regards, Lalit Jain
