Thank you sincerely, and I mean it.... I mean I identified SUNW before it's big boom as the primary server vendor in the world, with HP, IBM and others weakening while SUNW is enjoying quasi-monopoly conditions on the Internet server backbone... I have Qcom , another winner... IN fact, only my Dell has been a disappointment this year (apart from YHOO) and I think that next year will be pretty good. But Internet stocks ? You guys (and I mean the US stock market) do NOT take prisoners and to play in your pond, you better be ready to swim with the sharks... I wish to thank you, you have honestly made me feel a lot better. Thanks... Top all gutsy LONG holders, my congratulations... I KNOW Yahoo si the premier internet , multi-lingual brand in the world... I just cannot make money at it, that's all. Take care Jean BTW, I wonder if I should buy 1 0r 2 YHOO LEAPS on it yesterday, as well as maybe AOL What do you guys think ? Is it like closing the barn door AFTER the horse has left ? What do you think T2 ? Bye!

You have to understand to make money on internet stocks, you have to be more of a gambler than a smart investor. Let's see what happens in the next five years...:-). That should be enough time for the question of luck to be answered wrt to Yahoo, no? Better yet, join the current shareholders and buy some shares tomorrow, then check the share price in five years. Yahoo holds the attention, time, and activity of a remarkable number of person-hours; for me it is easy to correlate this to an ability (not a guarantee) to make money off this "influence" (for lack of a better word). The frosting is that Yahoo's been showing they are very good at what they want to do. Eric, if you can venture a guess, I'd like to know what you think YHOO's market cap will be when MSFT hits $1T market cap? Randy
