>>SHORTs are toast!!
Olu - such invective! I sense a passionate dislike on your part for those on the short side. It's odd, while I often run across posted statements along the lines of "Shorts are toast!", or "Shorts are going to get killed" - I rarely read anyone saying "longs, prepare to meet your maker!" But I suppose it's the state of the market.
Anyway - I have no position at the moment - so I take no offense. I posted the following data over on the YHOO thread that I thought you might find interesting - it's a sort of historical SI Thread look at YHOO earnings reports (be sure to look at the dates of the messages). I'm not making any predictions on what will happen tomorrow or in the coming weeks. But if there is one thing that can be gleaned from this data, it's that exuberance does not always help a stock price.
