>> otoh, it might allow the bears to short it at still very high prices and ride it down nicely << I was kind of thinking that the bears would be the ones propping the price up tomorrow, with all of their covering.

All: From the article it seems to indicate that this is a SEC filing, and the quarter and yearly loss is due to one time charge of $45M for acquiring a company and not actual operating loss. If YHOO sees 'red' in Q2 due to acquisition charges then this news is not as bad. However, if they expect to see a loss (without acquisition charges) then this is extremely negative news - from the article this doesn't seem to be the case. Also, the part about competition, they also mentioned doom and gloom in their previous SEC filing of May 15th. Am I interpreting this article correctly, or .... Well, we will know tomorrow!! --Irfan
