>>gain, investments in YHOO do not come from depths of ignorance and stupidity. If you can believe that, you may one day want to be long the stock...!<<

the foundation of all investment decisions is perception, not reality. i'd pay MUCH, MUCH more for a wheel patent than any of the nets are trading for. so, if i really thought the nets were better than the wheel then i would gladly pay current prices and then some for a piece of the wheel.

my view is different, though. no way i think any of the nets are even in the same ballpark as the wheel.

given the first view, investing in the nets would be a bargain. given my view, one must be stark raving mad. ;-)

ok, that is what makes a market. i know we net bears can use terms that can be construed as obnoxious - b/c they are... i for one don't mean to personally insult anybody's investment decision. sorry if i've come across like that. i'm just in awe, and i think most other bearish posters are too, of what we see based on our paradigm. we try and make sense of it and call everyone crazy.

we know you aren't crazy and you've made some very nice dough - enough to make you happy :-) we'd actually like to see you keep it and that is why i would suggest to keep your eyes open to the many possible future outcomes... if reality isn't perception, be aware enough to get outa dodge with all the loot. if reality is perception then you have nothing to lose as you've been very smart anticipating the future. just be on guard and don't get too comfortable. saying certain outcomes will never occur just appears to be a little too comfortable. fwiw...

good luck...
