I picked up $5K in Whittman-Hart as well as two other stocks right before the NASDAQ closed.... I'm gonna make a *KILLING* over the next week.

It's a good thing that the Y2Krackpots can't smell a "BUYING OPPORTUNITY"!!!!!!!!!!! Whoooo-Hooo!!!!!!

-- Thomas Redder (t_redder@hotmail.com), January 04, 2000.


Best of luck on your "buying" on the dip. You will have to wait longer than two weeks to make a profit, paper or otherwise.

Y2K or Not inlfation is the name of the game, unfortunately that is bad for stocks and bonds and good for Gold???, in the short and intermediate term. Long term stocks will outperform although sometimes your long term is longer than others.

Being a perma bear OR perma bull is a risky proposition.

Watcher: Don't do this! -

Please: use one of the three (or maybe four) existing "Market is losing its shorts" threads......it's easier to get info if everybody can read and comment on things in the same place.

This takes the NASDAQ to levels not seen since the week of 12-20-99!!!

Hey Redder , the killing you will be involved in will be your own suicide due to the incredible disappointment you will feel when you lose your money!

Squid....What Boat?

-- idunno (idunno@whoknows.com), January 04, 2000.


The one's rode, the one's driven, the ones repaired, the one's refueled/defueled, the one's built, or the ones I had as ship supt in the shipyard?

Couple of surface ships in that hole mess too - but they (almost) don't count.

-- Robert A Cook, PE (Marietta, GA) (cook.r@csaatl.com), January 04, 2000.


Mr. Cook,

I am making a big assumption and am thinking that you have been around the boats in the past by the way you answered with the comment about skimmers. I know this is OT, but I do like to keep up with bubbleheads. Thanks.

-- idunno (idunno@whoknows.com), January 04, 2000.


No, no, no. A skimmer MUST keep UP above the bubbleheads, lest he be down with them below the water.

Your job, therefore, is much more difficult - you must avoid becoming a (one-way) submariner - who's (or whose - there are English teachers lurking about) motto always has always been that every ship is a target, and every target can dive successfully - once.

Only a few can dive twice. And dives must equal (on average) the number of surfacings.

---...---...

I, on the other hand, being a true shipyard driver with many more years in drydock than weeks at sea, believe the only good submarine has a hull cut and is "safely" using shore power in cold wet layup, solid-solid on a valve op water flask float with the charging pump manned 24-7.

-- Robert A Cook, PE (Marietta, GA) (cook.r@csaatl.com), January 04, 2000.


Manning the charging pump has to be one of the MMMOOOOSSSTT boring things aside from the Tunnel entry watch.
