<Do I hear gloating ? >

No, not really -- I was looking to buy in, still am, but am worried about the technicals. Would rather catch the bounce after it starts than try to predict when it will start. Recall that I abandoned the bearish stance not long before the bears turned out to be (temporarily) correct. And this stock has given me margin calls before too, so I do sympathize, really I do.

<So I margined the li'l one. But that was before the call. I'll miss him terribly.>

You should be careful about using your sense of humor on those who have lost or misplaced theirs.

<Why did Mary Meeker say what she said ?>

Guru probably has a good answer for that. My guesses are (1) she got tired of saying things that just weren't true; (2) the folks at Morgan Stanley reined her in (their CEO, Phil Purcell, was once on some important NYSE board -- not sure if he still is; in addition, they (MWD) were at least second in command at the Fed conference room table at the LTCM bailout last summer, so maybe they owe AG a favor or two); (3) Morgan Stanley wants to buy in at a lower price.

<Why did Stanford have to be so close to my home ? My children already miss it....>

You won't need to write that first tuition check for a few years. Is this your way of saying that YHOO is no longer a good long-term investment? Nah, taking things too literally again.

<Even Sweetpete is angry with me.....>

?????

In my earlier post, I asked a serious question: where are the technicals pointing now? Does anybody know?
