Randy, stick with the science, I'll stick with the finance. Well SO, if you're really a finance god, you don't sound like one to me. You sound like you want people to think you are one perhaps. I find your tone inappropriate. I rarely talk about my investment returns because that is not the point of these boards, but I am doing just fine, thank you. My position in YHOO is not significant, nor are my losses in YHOO (the most I've paid for them is 60, the least 27). I've made worse investments, and no doubt so have you. Oh, and YHOO is 2.4% of my portfolio (down from a higher fraction obviously). Most people who have purchased shares of technology companies in the past three years for long term growth have positions in the red. No big deal IMO. My guess is that you are a Yahoo shareholder and are deep in the red. I suggest you take a few finance classes instead of reading Motley Fool books. I would love to take a few finance classes at some point, but I don't see what the Motley Fool has to do with this. We're all learning how to be better investors, even you I assume. Try using a little finesse. IMO YHOO has outstanding growth opportunities. They of course have to execute on them, or they actually will join LU in some regard. When a company is growing slowly, they will be valued on their current cash flow. As they grow more quickly, current cash flow valuation begins to fade in favor of future cash flow valuation. If you disagree, please tell me why. And try to cite more than current market valuation since that fluctuates and always will. Happy holidays to you as well.
