"The star that burns twice as bright burns half as long." --Blade Runner To the longs: I challenge you to name any stock, ever, that has not come down to earth eventually. Almost by definition, the coolest new creations of our minds are destined one day to be as plain--and treated as plainly-- as Wal-Marts. Enjoy the party while it lasts. I hope you all make a kazillion dollar and retire on an Outer World. To the shorts: It's hard to get your fingers broken while you wait for the denouement, isn't it? Frustrating to see great companies with revenues in the hundreds of millions get killed while upstarts sans track records sail through the melee unscathed. Smugly, no less. Tough to know, when dreams of unicorns intrude, if you're really alive at all. I can't tell you for sure. What I can tell you is that the best thing Yahoo! has done is the blue color on their page. You can't copy that. Otherwise, maybe this is a Brave New World where pride never goes before a fall. Zenmatt PS: Many thanks to Barb! and Wexler. I enjoy your posts.
