Thanks yours. My thinking is that bad news is factored in, and that DE will see rising profits in 2000, after a bad (but not horrific) 1999. Your farmer friends can only go so long putting off equipment purchases, and the longer they do: (1) the more weaker players won't be around and (2) the stronger the sales bounce back will be. I realize now why I stopped looking at this thread--my time horizon is so much longer than others here. (I do see it's under the "Short Term" section). As a rule, I try to buy stocks on fundamentals, with the appropriate technical indicators in place, and then hold for the 18 month period for capital gains to become an issue. When I was trading the taxes were killing me. It also fits my schedule better, which is why it takes me a week to respond to messages:~). This policy has stood me well. The purchases I've made have been better thought out, and so far the stocks have done well. best--js
