Henry,
Speaking of y2k nuts... There is a large furniture store in Rhode Island (not RodeoIsland) that advertises no payments 'til feb. 2000. That's not so unusual. The rest of the ad (radio) goes on to say that, because of the y2k bug, you may never have to make a payment so get here now while our computers are vulnerable.

Presenting the First Moron Treasure Hunt!

Topic: "The Amazon Advantage"

"The Amazon Advantage" is the theory that since Amazon (or countless other Internet stocks) is losing money hand over fist, then if your favorite BB is also losing money, the price just may hit the stratosphere!

See, it's an advantage to lose money these days!

Corollary to the Amazon Theory: any stock with a web site is an "Internet play."

Object of the game: Find as many posts as possible from morons using this argument.

Here's one to get you started: #reply-9812352

All I can say is, she's a total Y2K nut and a lot of the information she posts seems to be from outer space. And I've seen her behave like a moron on other counts. So some things never change.
