I see...so the people that shorted YHOO two days ago when you said that and watched YHOO drop 30 points are idiots?

>> I told you guys YHOO earning is good-I did not lie; <<

Earnings? They lost $36 million dollars. Second of all it doesn't take a genius to know that YHOO was going to handily beat estimates. Even the bears acknowledged that.

>> I told you YHOO would announce split- I did not lie! <<

Yes you did, you said it was going to be a 3 for 1 split. But I have to admit, you are top notch. A $200 internet stock and you were brave enough to call the split. Hats off to you.

>> For all those people tried to short these internet stocks..... well, I got all your money! <<

Not mine! I have shorted YHOO on numerous occasions and have never lost yet. You will never make a dime off my YHOO short pal.

Dear Mr. Chan.
You said (post 11179):
<<YHOO to announce 3 for 1 stock split after the bell>>.

They announced 2:1 split.
So can we call you a liar?
TIA
Amots

P.S No position in internut stocks, but was long AMZN this morning

In this post, you didn't sound too bullish on YHOO's earnings.

<<So when I cashed out my AMZN and YHOO on Friday, I will have the fondest memories of buying AMZN at $40 and YHOO at $65!>>

Are you papertrading again?

Your presence here proves that even the best intentioned threads are subject to the primordial slime that contaminates SI. You're a liar and a charlatan. I wonder how such a highly paid "Ivy League" lawyer such as yourself has the time to follow the markets closely enough to make so many trades? Please slither back into your hole. The sun is coming out and it may burn your reptilian skin. I'll take a dozen Crawfords over you any day.

PS- You still owe me a bottle of scotch Mister big shot.

PPS- It's funny how an "Ivy League" lawyer has never mastered the english language. How do you account for that?

John

Your loose use of the word "idiot" tells me you are lacking perception or are not fully aware of the meaning of the word.

Which is it?
