so what your saying is..cnbc is wrong,and there really is institutional interest in this? your damn right... they dont seem to want to let this come down far enough for retail investors to get in. obviously theres something bigger going on here than we think.

>Those types of retail investors are not the ones who have the kinds of resources in the market that are pushing this thing to such exaggerated heights. Victor, I don't agree with you on this. If you look at the listing of trades, most are less than 500 shares. About a third are 100. The retail customer is in big time thanks to electronic trading and low commissions. At $15 a trade it doesn't take much to more in and out. It's the little guy driving these beast IMO. Also, I'm curious about the Y2K issues you're raising. My company has a very sophisticated program for tracking Y2K. We're beginning the simulation phase. My business uses a lot of energy that's why I'm concerned when you say you're in the business! I may have to rely on AMZN short income if my plants are down! gw
