Interesting stats : "Young women active stock traders online" About one in 10 adult online users (11 percent) in the U.S. are actively trading stocks online. In just six months, from the second to fourth quarters of 1997, the number of individuals trading online grew more than 150 percent, according to Cyber Dialogue, a New York company which specializes in marketing to online consumers. "Stock trading now competes with purchasing software as the largest online transaction activity,'' said Cyber Dialogue's Thomas E. Miller said, "More people trade securities than purchase books, computers, travel, CDs or any other products online." Among the characteristics of online traders, he said, is that their average income is $78,300, and 46 percent are females under the age of 30. From Internet Daily. P.S. Where can I meet one of this 46% for some good conversation ?? :-) Mang

Looks like YHOO came in at .05/share. Looks like a couple of cents of that was investment income, not income from the course of their business. YHOO nearly tripled their revenues but they are still struggling to turn those sales into real profitability. An actual profit margin is a great place to start. I wish I had bought some at 27 pre-split when I was first looking at them (and using their quote.yahoo.com every day as I do now)... So are you short them tonight? No, you covered at 60, is that right? Probably good that you did. Randy
