Wow, This thread has been short on facts for the last 50 or so posts. Some facts that might be of interest to all of you (especially the longs): YHOO Ad revenue: August 1997 $4.7M September 1997 $5.5M October 1997 $5.7M NOVEMBER 1997 $6.0M (this number just came out today! 5% hyper month over month growth!) Go to www.mediacentral.com and check out the FACTS on low fourth qtr net advertising. Specifically, "ad-supported sites are not showing dramatic increases in fourth quarter 1997 versus fourth quarter 1996, compared to other fiscal periods this year. This is because the advertising boom at this time last year was so huge." I think this gets back to Bill Wexler's point about it being easy to show "dramatic" growth when revenues are only $10M. Also, "The $70 million total for the industry in November is a 7% increase from $65.4 million in October 1997. Netscape had the largest month-to-month growth among the 10 leading ad-supported publishers in November, at 25%." YHOO grew SLOWER THAN ITS INDUSTRY. THIS STOCK IS TOAST! YAAAAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOO>>>>>> SO MUCH FOR HYPER GROWTH!!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH DECEMBER'S NUMBERS? I hope this stock runs up more today and tomorrow so I can get my Feb and March puts more cheaply.
