Eugene, everyone should leave this one alone,its not worth the trouble to play,and the game is way too expensive. You can't touch options,implied volatility just went to Uranus. Hey everyone,get the heck away from YHOO stock,its going to blow all of us to kingdom come.
Watch this baby shake the heck out of the longs and shorts,pick them up by the shoulders and drop them over the cliff.
Time to look for real companies,but ride YHOO's coattails if you can,its going to take every other net stock with it.
No one is forecasting what happens to net advertising if a slowdown or recession hits,and one will between now and 2000. Old fashion add revenues decline dramatically in a recession.

Eugene,

The trailing PE is over 1000. The trailing growth rate is about 300% per year. That's a LOUSY fool ratio. Major sell indicator.

Some said the same thing about NSCP a few years ago. Once reality hit, life told a different story. Do you really think that YHOO can maintain 300% revenue growth over the next two years?

The insanity of shorting YHOO at this time is not based on the value of the company (or future value), but on the unpredictabilty of the YHOO market. At $130, YHOO was grossly overpriced, and a fair target for shorters. At $200, it is even more so.

The problem is not whether the YHOO bubble will burst but when. Only problem is that between now and then, YHOO could see $300 or more.

Eugene, I have been making money shorting such "concept" stocks for 32 years. Maybe I am crazy, but I do live well.
