The "Digging" Report

December 31, 1999

"All stocks are bad... Unless they go up", William O'Neil.

My Personal "Mutual Fund" OTC:RASXX

Note: OTC means Over The Counter. The ticker symbol is fictitious; please don't ask your broker to buy it. In the rare event that such a ticker does exist please inform me at once, in order to change it. I don't want to mislead anyone.

A delay on the delivery of the statements of my 401k caused the present report being posted on such a late date.

The weight of my fixed income portion of my fund, which helped me to stay afloat on the 3rd quarter, dragged my portfolio during one of the most outstanding quarters in the recent history of the stock market, as measured by the huge sprint made by the NASDAQ composite (around 50%). However the effect of the equity portion of my portfolio began to show on the last 6 weeks of the year due to the heavy bias toward the technology sector (this is clearly shown on the Year to date Graph).
