Most the recent buying of YHOO are by small investors, looks like the small guys are set up again to hold the bag. Anybody seen this: "The Fed says it doesn't look like the US is recession- bound, and that capital markets are looking normal- ish. Are the odds of a rate cut shrinking? Keep in mind that the market is counting on at least 25 basis points ...."

Not sure why this PR was posted here, but if it is of any interest to those who think this is going to drive a huge amount of Yahoo revenue, think again. Latest figures show that all of 3 percent of Spain's population is online. This is a GREAT advertising play eh folks? As an advertiser, what would YOU pay to reach 3% of a market? Would you bother with this medium unless your product was available online? (Downloadable -- and not to big, remember, Europeans pay for local calls by the minute, so an 8Mb download will cost $10-20 in phone charges over whatever the price of the item is -- of course, they pay this per minute charge to chase ads too -- and guess what, they don't usually chase ads - they get on , get their info, and get off. )
