<<Yahoo investing is not speculation at this point. It is foolishness of the highest order; the stock has become a pyramid scam that will feed folks at the bottom who bought in at $20 and crush every fool at the top who chose to jump in at $120. Yahoo has huge losses and pissant revenue yet it trades at a market capitalization in the billions.>> Andrew, With such good sense you might have shorted the Mississippi Company of John Law in 1719, when this paper company was worth the astounding sum of one-fourth all the gold and silver in France. This would have been sheer folly as it thereafter rapidly rose %800 to be worth twice all the gold and silver in France. The market does not award prizes for having the best calculator. Don't buy falling knives or short shooting arrows. This arrow could skewer every fool who shorts it at $125. Charles Mackay, LL.D. 1841 Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds Zebra
