Well, since you are here, let's relive a "classic" example of Dipy thread litter. Ah yes Dipy, let's take a walk down memory lane.... You first: To: Jeffrey D (8493 ) From: Dipy Monday, Oct 19 1998 9:28PM ET Reply # of 9061 Referring to my post #1289, I see that the Dow was in the 7800-8000 range at that time. I felt then that we were about 1000 points from the top (it turned out to be 1300-1500 instead). I also felt then that we were 3000 points from the bottom. And now, if anything, I feel even more strongly about it. So, that leads us to the "5,000 before 10,000" scenario. I think we all have to be emotionally prepared for that.

I think we all have to be emotionally prepared for that.>> There are only three things that could cause this scenario: 1. Nuclear War 2. Alien invasion from outer space. 3. DOJ breaking up MSFT and then taking on INTC and CSCO. Hmm, my God, Dipy, you might be right!!<G> Jeff >> And, of course your turn again: Subject: Bob Brinker: Market Savant & Radio Host To: Jeffrey D From: Dipy Oct 20 1998 2:31AM EST Reply #8498 of 9061 So you essentially rule it out? Well, I'll remember the post number -- 8497. It might come in handy sometime... As for DOJ breaking up MSFT and going after INTC and CSCO, if they are doing it in the genuine interests of the consumers, then I say, more power to the DOJ! Dipy. >> Yes, Dipy, nothing but thread litter. Jeff
