YHOO's trading chart does look a lot like Microsofts when it was doubling or more yearly,,, it's not the share price that matters but the market cap, which in the long run should be higher, so it might be worth hang'en around for the future splits:)

i agree with you i am one of those buy and holders i am sniffing around right now but i did raise 15% cash when i saw things getting dicey a few months ago one problem with your thesis how did you know msft would knock out apple, for example you didn't--no one did my model says buy 2-3 of "the leaders" as one weakens, sell the weaker and keep the 2 big boys as one weakens sell it and keep the leader now i own seek, yhoo, msft, aol, etc. who will be #1 in 5 years in portal/search space? you are crazy, brilliant, psychic or lucky if you can say that now right now i would say #1 could be aol or yhoo, with disney/seek being tied with msft. that is all i can see curtis
