Kudos to you if that happens. I could be the guy in 2006 who looked back and said...if only!

Regardless, we have fundamentally different views of this stock. I don't believe any stock with YHOO's current revenue stream is worth billions of dollars in market cap. I think the market will rotate out of YHOO and other search engines within the sector this year. Right or wrong, no way do I believe people should be paying $115 for this company (at this time). I think the wind is out of the sails and $129 was tops during the recent momentum runup. We'll see how YHOO does by close of '98.

p.s. I also think Netscape could put a severe damper on YHOO. Do you know how many people have Netscape as their start-up page because they do not know how to change? Netscape should and will take full advantage of that fact. IMHO, if NSCP can reinvent itself, there's a company with incredible potential.

<<Yahoo has been performing within this (awesome) trend for sixteen months. Manias don't last sixteen months,>>

Some would disagree with you....Many believe that PRST was a mania...If so, that one lasted nearly 3 years....It is, by the way, the only stock I know of, that has sustained a higher price to sales than Yahoo...P/S now is a more modest 8.5....
