The facts William are that as long as there are hundreds of new internet IPO's waiting in the wings, brokerage firm analysts will continue to rate these stocks as strong buys, long term buys, buys etc. There's big money to be made in these IPO's and none of the brokerages want to see this end.

I think this has to be a dilemma for them right now, that these stocks are at dangerous levels so they don't want to hype them and be criticized but at the same time they don't want this to end or it will be the end of the lucrative IPO market for them. Yes this definitely looks like the biotech frenzy. Maybe Yahoo is a great company and will make real money in the future but at least 80 to 90% of these new IPO's will be out of business in the next 3 to 5 years. This is nothing but a mania for anything with "internet" in its profile. Unfortunately when it ends it will take Yahoo down with it. But then you really need to think about what it is worth today and maybe next year. Factoring in 5 and 10 years into todays price is absurd. Even MSFT only factors in a few years.
