SI, How 'bout all the poor SOB's that bought "the globe.com" in the 90's??? What a scam. The big boys were dumping all day long during its first day of trading. BTW, YHOO may be a good short at the gap-open tomorrow, thanks to AMZN. Also, splitting a stock does absolutely nothing to help the company or the small investor. Its just a bunch of crap, $10,000 buys exactly the same amount of the company either way. Look at Buffet's shares. I wonder if AMZN's last ditch effort to prevent a .com sell-off will work?? Tico "Squat Box" said YHOO was trading at 191 in the "never" manipulated after hours trading.

hey investor....you seem very condescending. You assume I (a typical investor) am a stupid investor. Well actually, I am quite diversified and can manage my risks. Point is, I know it is risky....so is crossing the road. But I can take care of myself. And yes,- I plan to buy a house - escrow closes on Dec 12. And I'm investing here to maximise my capital...does that answer your question re: would you advise....?

Smart Investor, You MUST come to the YHOO thread on the YHOO BB. This thread is pretty quiet and complacent. I suppose YHOO BB is a bit slow, but the fun we have there more than makes up for the inconveniences. Even the JavaPC guy is funny with is 1000 posts a day saying how disappointed he is that YHOO is not making $100 per day ! Seriously, the quality/quantity and passion of longs/shorts and observers is quite intense.....and informative. SweetPete has eventually managed to convince MadDog to go long.....so I believe theres hope for you yet.
