Excerp from Barrons.... I think Tava has this solution? Dennis Grabow, founder of Millennium Investment in Chicago, takes a more holistic approach in his Y2K consulting and investment management, based on the declaration of this self-appointed Paul Revere of the millennium that Y2K is "the greatest wealth-transfer event of our time." Fearing serious government, trade and infrastructure breakdowns, Grabow, a former Morgan Stanley investment banker, runs a hedge fund that is net short, betting against the shares of companies he thinks will be particularly hurt by the changeover, but looking for potential winners as well. The industries he views as having the biggest potential problems include the chemicals sector, which features many niche producers (which may have a hard time bringing their computers up to snuff), plus highly intertwined supply and production chains. Some bad news for all companies: Utilities, in Grabow's view, are generally behind the curve, and he points out that power plants can't just be "re-booted" with the flick of a switch. He concedes that he may be an alarmist, but anyone who thinks that Grabow is right, or close to it, might view those protective options as pretty attractive. And if he's wrong, be comforted by the fact that it will mean the world won't be plunged into darkness.
