Ever heard of Marginal Benefit versus Marginal Cost? The Marginal Benefit of YHOO going to $2 from $15 when I shorted in triple digits (all documented on this thread) is minimal. Are you starting those annoying accounting quizes again?<ggg> So far shorting has been pretty good. Good trading on your part. My feeling is that shorting Yahoo is a bit too aggressive at this stage...but if one compares it to other washed up tech stocks, Yahoo may be your best short bet. I am taking up long tech positions but this one does not have the best risk versus reward for the long side. However, in a lifting or rebounding tech market, Yahoo will get its gains as well. They still have something that is a very valuable property. Sooner or later some company will try a hostile (or friendly) takeover and that alone will push the stock up. Any deal in the internet sector could lift all stocks. I saw the guy from USA networks saying they are looking for deals...and my bet is they are looking at the internet stocks too. I would be long Yahoo too but am going to wait just a bit longer for the big caps to recover first.
