Going off shore to diversify Y2K risk sounds 'risky'. Somehow this seems to me more like compounding risk, since one makes sure they can pick up more risk at each stop! This sounds like a panic situation where one believes that if they get nailed by one error, they loose it all. I don't think Y2K is that kind of risk. More likely, delay till things get sorted out, and some drop through global fear. If it is a total disaster that is expected (eg global drop to near zero), then spreading it around is not much protection!

Better the devil you know, than he AND all of his friends?

Philip--I read your article about two weeks ago. I had my doubts about such a strategy then. As more bad news regarding the state of remediation abroad had come out in the press...well...

If you could give an example of which these alternate jurisdictions might provide more safety and why your assertion might make more sense. Frankly, I could care less about what your prospective customers feel or believe.
