Has YAHOO Ignored BRAND NAME RECOGNITION? Take a good look at go.com ..it looks likeGo.com is creating a mascot/host/character for GO.COM/SEEK ..this is a good example of brand name recognition which the other portals have ignored ...Disney is the master of characters...something people can identify with i can't wait to see how this Frog character turns out... Go.com beta in a few days...... Cheers, Urlman

I was out of YHOO. Now I am back in with Puts. We shall see what happens very soon. My strategy now is to see how far the insanity will carry. If for every hundred points up I buy a few puts, I will eventually do very well. Many owners of this stock are so out of touch with reality. Yes. You and many others have made lots of money. But when do you decide to sell? Now at 400? When it goes to 200 you will be kicking yourself. What if YHOO goes back to 100, still a wildly optimistic price for a co. that just reported .21 for a "blowout qtr". How many on this board will still hold profits then? How many will be kicked out by margin calls? The pros are waiting quietly waiting for the bloodbath. They will figure where the bottom is. Wait a bit more, and then buy the shares that are puked up by the burned "investors" that think that share price, PE, do not matter. That YHOO can only go up.
