49erSteve...YHOO BB has good discussions as well...and a lot of participants as well. Check it out. Its a bit slow and you have the riff raff, but then, it also has a lot of participants who help you understand why YHOO is growing, or why it shouldn't grow.

It was overvalued at $100, and insanely overvalued at $200. People thought PressTek was a good buy when it was traded at $200 with nonsense like revolutionizing the printing technologies, blah, blah,... Is that any different than the current YHOO mania with nonsense like revolutionizing how people buying stuff ? It was a bunch of crap then with PressTek, and it is a bunch of crap now with YHOO. People do not change their buying habit very easily. Shopping is kind of like going to the baseball game, it is a favorite pastime for many people. Why people just watch the baseball game at home on big screen TV ? The experience is completely different. The other argument is ads through the Net. For God sake, we have enough advertising on TV, newspaper, and just about everywhere, who the hell want to watch a bunch of ads on one's computer screen ?
