Speed-breaker alert.
OK some folks have asked why YHOO quote is shown on this thread and I have not seen any answers so I have guessed it for you.
The YHOO quote acts as a speed-breaker to enthusiastic shorts before they go on shorting ;-)
An indication of what might happen to a short when it goes against; mighty thoughtful of whoever put it there.
But is it not too big a speed-breaker to drive on? and if big speed-breakers are in fashion, would AOL not do the job better?
Should they have dog stocks as speed breakers on long threads not devoted to a particular stock? ;-) so many questions...
As the wise readers might have guessed, this is Friday afternoon and I am feeling a bit sleepy so it is an attempt to keep awake and bring some life on the thread.
