Brent, I was never much of an IOM fan. I used to trade it all the time, though, but never liked the long term prospects. I don't know who the people at the IOM thread were, but if they're like any other internet thread, I'd guess they were all a bunch of cheerleaders, true? I'm not a YHOO cheerleader, and I truly do understand the company. BTW, since you mention IOM---The problem with IOM is that it was so hyped and choke full of momentum players, which is why the stock was capable of posting double-digit gains at any time. The reason I like YHOO is that it has a calm, steady uptrend. And the YHOO thread has no ignorant cheerleaders pumping the stock. If that ever changes, I'll become scared of the stock. Sal PS. Just for the record, I just wanted you all to know that I've shorted YHOO several times in the past (and always made money). So I'm not just one-sided. Just like I did in football, I play both ways :)
