<< ...even precious Mary Meeker... >>

I'm not exactly sure what to make of her. She seems to have quite a few critics. Maybe her track record speaks for itself. One thing I noticed though is she always dodges questions about stock price (although she once said AMZN's caused here heartburn!). For those who think these internet gurus are infallible, the people who bought into ONSL or EGRP {other internet favorites) at the top have lost over half their investment.

>>So all the YHOO buyers....are earning 0.3% yield with HUGE risks, and the old guy... earns 5+% on his CDs. So who is smarter in the long run?<<

Neither. The YHOO shorts are smarter :)

Yahoo Shareholders. Pretty evident, isn't it? You could have used the same internal ROI argument on AOL a few years back and missed the birth of a medium.
