Your logic is way off. If Yahoo at $100 per share had a 100 for 1 split, does that make it any less risky?

You are making assumptions about Mr. Burke which are probably unfair. Given the amount of time he has spent on this group, he is probably aware of the float size of Yahoo and Netscape, and uses the share price as a conversational shortand, assuming that we'll fill in the blanks.

At least, I'm willing to assume that he knows about this since his claim about Yahoo vs. Netscape makes a lot of sense given the true market capitalizations of the stocks.

Making the worst assumptions about the other guy's posting and then blasting him for those assumptions is an old net trick.

>>Your logic is way off.>>

Reginald, your economics are irrelevant to my discussion with Sal focused on mainly which internet stock would correct the most when the 'bubble' burst.

Netscape's share price has already crashed.
Yahoos is long overdue.

*risk deviation, predictive beta on and on..*

Why not throw in some Elliot Wave while you are at it?

I try to be nice to you and I get this *lesson*.

Thanks a lot. If I have a few spare hours I'll slow thru your web supersite.
