DD on Yahoo...

There is apparently a certain amount more DD on Yahoo than there once was, but Yahoo is still primarily a rah-rah thread and always has been. The real "mother board" has always been this one. There always seems to be a politically correct approach taken on Yahoo and I deeply despise movements toward political correctness. You might take a minute to read the speech that Charlton Heston gave on that subject at a Harvard Law School forum: us-webmasters.com I don't happen to agree with Heston on everything, but I agree with everything he said in this speech. Disagreement on the PC concepts at Yahoo will not only get you fragged there; they will actually follow you to other boards to beat you up in unrelated forums.

I think that Zeus did a pretty fair job of stating the pitfalls of BB stocks. JAWS displays every one of the danger signals and always has. I blinded myself to them early on and was as much of a cheerleader as anyone ever was and came away from that with a promise to myself to never get emotional about an investment again. I will never forget how outraged I was after Colin told me in PV that the float would increase by 600 to 700k shares and then the news came out that the O/S had virtually doubled.

That said, I am back in the stock with a much smaller position than before because I think something is about to happen here. I heard the rumor that some kind of internet spinoff is being considered and I have to tell you that the first thing I thought was that an internet spinoff was perhaps the last possible gimmicky stunt that they haven't pulled already. Dividends, Rights Offerings, Coupon "Thing"s with I-net spinoffs...will we get Ginzu knives, too?

Colin may or not have been "raped" by the PPs, but the shareholders certainly were. I suspect he profited handsomely from the play and was showing that he was willing to keep on doing things like that. I take some comfort in the fact that others seem to have a handle on the guy these days. Someone recently asked me if he would survive a vote of the shareholders...interesting question.

Anyhow, it appears to me that whatever "manipulation" we see in this stock over the next few weeks will be in the shareholders' favor for a change. At least that's what I am betting.
