Great ideas! And, I wonder if there is anything to be made from the niche/extremist panickers. Like guns and camping equipment. I bet food retailers like Safeway have a great 1999 4th quarter; but probably a poor first quarter 2000 as people try to eat through all the food they hoarded in 99.

This is too easy.

<<I bet that if a few large corporations end up with desktop anchors on 1/1/00>>

I'm betting box makers will do richly leading up to that date. JMO.
