tricky accounting- they EXCLUDE costs of aquiring four11, yet INCLUDE the revenue generated by 411. This is standard accounting practice. You exclude non-recurring items, such as the cost of the acquisition, and include all recurring sources of revenue, such as ad money from 411. And if they weren't generating all that interest on their initial 100 million buck IPO cash stockpile, they would have shown a loss! Not true either. They would have reported over a million dollars in profit. No wonder you are losing so much with this stock: you are a sloppy investor!

>>Ok, I've been predicting Yes you have. Over and over and over. You've done us a real service. I suppose when one of your many predictions finally works out (by coincidence, no doubt), you'll be all over us telling us you told us so. >>BOY did they [Yahoo's earnings] suck! Yeah, right. I guess since your analysis is dead wrong, your predictions don't have much of a chance. >>Tomorrow will finally bring the reward that all of us patient shorters have been waiting for. If you thought a bad surprise from Yahoo would help you out here, you didn't get it.

OtherChap, Don't fool yourself into thinking it is all down for YHOO from here. Those earnings were better than expected. IMO the stock may actually rise short term, but not much over $70. Unless Asia tanks again.
