<<YHOO ... quick pop>> ? ... wait, oh, i see now ;0) i am sure for the folks who claim to be able to see around alleged corners, made good use of supposed acumen, exercised invented agility and managed to imaginarily elbow in, pile on, squeeze through, claw away, and got apparently embraced by that sure-fire and obviously very crowded ohwhoaweegeewillickers deal, it will be ok, as in not too much pain that will last but a nano second, like when hit bull’s-eye head-on with a 50 caliber machined depleted uranium slug, and gain lots of profit, in the way of universal wisdom and biblical learning, even as no actual monetary loss is involved. Funny, that, see around the corner and be met by a cold slug. There is no way out of the alleged trade that is in fact a one-way trapdoor function of the mathematical genius sort, whereby lots of fictitious moolah goes into the weekend processing, and out comes a bit less of imaginary capital return plus a whole lot of 1st hand learning. Now there is no way to avoid the downward step function that will be deliciously waiting Monday market open, the unnatural and twisted see-around corner folks might as well bend over more naturally, enjoy the <<YHOO … quick pop>> bang, even if only by mind only ... all they have to do is suck in air hard, rhythmically, rapidly, without whimpering too much, and concentrate on the delight of experience as Mr. Market slap them on the behind with a floppy checkbook. I wonder what the annualized phantom return might be … I guess infinitely negative, though phantom pain only. The folks who allegedly piled in can either admit to a whopper of a phantom loss, restate ability to see around corners, or double up on an imaginary trade and camp-out on the trade for the long run, or fish up another sure-bang definitely around the bend trade to ameliorate the phantom pain of the earlier trade. To think, maybe (i) folks were foolish enough to actually pile into YHOO, and (ii) not able to give thanks that it was not all simply an alleged trade. It is a difficult choice, to admit to oneself that either (i) one was a fool to enunciate a foolish claim, or (ii) one is a simple liar. For the Yahooligans, many of them must certainly have wagered on the Yahoo deal, and so got Yahoo-ed. Yahoo-ed Yahoologans ... catchy :0) Chugs, tj
