1) When: July 6, 1999 Why: Y2K fears will be building the first half of '99, with scandal-hungry media shining the spotlight on every paranoid whacko stocking up his doomsday shelter. The trigger will be an article in a major financial publication about the possible legitimacy of Y2K-related class action suits against major hardware and software companies for the potential billions in lost revenues small- and medium-sized businesses may face. Many investors will be expecting a stock market crash in the fall, with plans to pull out by then, but these articles and growing fears will cause an early pull-out, starting July 6, 1999. But what do I know? BTW, I've enjoyed everyone's responses! Regards, Adamson
