Speak your mind: Jump into the MLM Message Board
Ticker Talk

We've had tons of consultants and technicians technically consulting on this matter, and let me be the first to announce: MLM is Y2K compliant! Whew! That sure is a load off my mind.

But first I have a money tip for you.

I tell ya, some people are really miffed over the rise of NYYAN. The same way people get upset while they watch Amazon.com rocket up in price and never give them a chance to hop on. Hey, it's expensive, but as long as people are buying, you can't say it's not worth it. And the Yanks do stand to win a lot of those juicy $75 playoff games.

But NYYAN, and ATLAN to a lesser extent, are the only ones in their price range. Which is strange, because there are more than two playoff berths, you know? People are just starting to clue in and buy HOUST, but essentially here's what we've got: two teams worth a lot, and all the others in a nice unbroken price bracket.

Eventually, this has to stratify. Playoff team hopefuls will be in a price range above the hopeless. The SANDIs and the CLEVEs will start pulling away from the bunch. So will the TEXASes and the ANAHEs, because half a chance is certainly worth more than none. And someone's gonna get those wildcard slots.

It's not happening now cause there's not enough information, but soon these things will start becoming apparent. So if you've got a hunch, now's the time to hop on it.

I've done this dozens of times, so I know. The market's rhythm keeps changing and you gotta keep up. If your money is all still sitting in KWOOD where you put it a couple months ago, it ain't doing you any good there.

Anyway, I'm just glad we got all that Year 2000 stuff ironed out. I tell ya, I was afraid the computers were gonna start buying Jason Johnson Homeruns for $60 or something. You never know. I've even heard rumors of the Dow 10,000 bug which will cause the New York Stock Exchange to crash as soon as the Dow hits that number.

Well, there's just another reason to play the market on MLM instead of NYSE. Hey, if you need yet another reason, CLEV (the Cleveland Indians) stock in New York has dropped from 15 to 9 this season. Here, CLEVE is still going strong.
