Here's one guess. Yahoo's daily click rate FELL in December. I play in Yahoo's Investment Competition. I started in September and the participants numbered approximately 150,000. October and November had similar numbers, but DECEMBER FELL TO 100,000 entrants. Here's some math. If each YAHOO entrant click 100 times per day on the Yahoo site, then a drop of 50,000 entrants times 100 clicks per day = 5,000,000 less clicks per day on Yahoo's site. Once this BIG DROP IN CLICKS is announced, then I see YHOO falling 40% in fewer than 5 trading sessions and it will take all the others with it. My guess is that it will be announced this Monday, January 11. Sincerest wishes for maximum wealth for all! Tim West
