Bleech! Down almost 5% today and now testing the 52-week low. Getting hard to keep this faith on this Dow Dog. What's their Y2K exposure? Anyone heard? Thanks in advance, Chip coolhistory.com

The divergence is because the two companies are becoming dissimilar. IP is hell-bent on staying the biggest paper company in the world. It has bought Union Camp (pending), Federal Paper Board, a majority of Carter Holt Harvey in Australia, among many others. Meanwhile, Weyerhaeuser has been largely shedding assets, and frankly doing a better job than IP for its longer-term shareholders. WY wants to be the best, IP wants to be the bigest.
