The reason I asked about the gambling part is that I have lost quite a bit of money gambling foolishly. I have actually looked into what compulsive gamblers do and am wondering if I am one of them. The Gambler's anonymous groups say that if you quit gambling, then you should quit day trading too. I don't think I want to do that. When I am trading stocks like yahoo!, I get that "high" feeling at times...sort of like today when yahoo! pissed me off!!!<g>. O.K. no more of this off topic stuff... Back to this stock. It has been fun reading the posts and it's interesting to see how the discussions go from light hearted to somewhat heated. Bottom line I guess is that we can all make money with this stock and any others we invest in. The longs may make a bundle (looks that way now) and take their profits BEFORE yahoo! ever crashes, and then the shorts will take theirs. I know this is simple knowledge that you all know but I said it anyway...so there. goose in texas stuff but

So Pete, when the short interest numbers come out this month and they are once again higher, what will your interpretation be? Has it ever occured to you that shorts are not the enemy, but sophisticated, hard-working investors - like you - who are putting their money on the line? You single minded view of stock investing seems very limiting. If you listened to the short argument, you might evaluate things evenly and rationally . We have listened to each of your arguments fairly and then decided to reject them. All you do is throw around insults and platitudes. What happened to an exchange of ideas? Peter G.
