Stock Operator,

There seems to be only two type of boards on SI regarding finance (I'm fairly new to SI myself): the cheerleaders (i.e. buy the dip no matter what happens) and the doom and gloomers (i.e. the sun will never rise again).

The cheerleaders are primarily optimistic newbies with little investment experience (or common sense for that matter) but plenty of hoping abilities. The doom and gloomers, on the other hand, are quite bright (often employing complex hedging strategies) but are far too pessimistic given the circumstances.

So where does someone who is moderate in their market beliefs (i.e. bearish when the Nasdaq was over 4000 but bullish when the Nasdaq is near 2000) going to go on SI for some common sense approach to the market?

Any suggestions?

P.S. I don't believe Yahoo! will reach $5 per share. On cash value alone, Yahoo! is worth about $3 per share. Besides if Yahoo! ever approaches single digits, there will be some media company out there that's going to acquire Yahoo! for its internet presence with a pretty decent premium. Remember, Yahoo! has no debt.

Regards,
