[RT] Re: Y2K and the Nasdaq: Buy The Rumor, Sell The Fact?

Just a thought that if previous run was based on y2k being overblown, then
then next reason for the next new run is that the y2k bug had no effect??
If there is no bad news why would it go down?? Indeed, if it is a good news
and no one is buying..  I guess its time to sell??   Oh boy so many
questions...:))
