<<Remember how the Lion King got killed by the herd? It is happening with YHOO. If one wants to make money, he/she has to hold a sword againest the coming herd, wish they will stop in the front and kill. Problem is no one knows when the herd stop, so 90% shorters got killed by the herd anyway.>> This Lion King is alive and well!
