I thought we had freedom of speech! Yahoo may not have tanked yesterday but it did not go up either. If you look at the pattern of many bubble stocks such as zitl, you will notice that they don't always take a dive after peaking but really come down smoothly over a period of time(likely because there are many market forces around preventing a dive). I believe that Yahoo has started that descent. Anyway, here's something you can hang your hat on---YAHOO WILL BE VERY STABLE TODAY!!! If that ain't true -I'll eat turkey! Have a great thanksgiving.

<I will now buy all my shares back on Friday> Ok. and what if it crashes on Monday instead? I hope you were just kidding about actually basing an investment decision on the crap you read in this thread. There will always be bulls and there will always be bears, do your own research and accept responsibility for your own decisions. Fact is, NOBODY knows where YHOO is going next, not smart_investor, not your broker, not the queen, least of all the analysts who are usually wrong, nobody (unless they have illegal inside information). This is what efficient markets are all about. Brad

Donald, There are several interesting data regarding YHOO's fundamentals: (1) Based on historical YHOO's stock data (from October 26 - November 25): - There are 15 trading days that gapped up at the opening, while there are seven trading days that gapped down; - There are 14 days closing higher than previous day, while there are eight trading days closing lower; - There are 10 trading days that gapped up and closing higher; there are five trading days with gapping up but closing down; there are four trading days with gapping down but closing up; there are three trading days with gapping down and closing down; It seems that the stock has higher correlation with DJIA more than NASDAQ average. As long as overall tech stocks moves higher or stabilized, YHOO will keep its momentum up. (2) From Institution evaluation, YHOO got 1.8, which is a very high mark for the high tech stocks. MSFT got the same score. (3) Its consistent and improving earning records will keep the stock price intact and provide more attractive buyers with good rationales to remain in this red-hot internet area. I estimate YHOO's revenue will significantly increase for the coming years, so net incomes will follow. (4) YHOO's reputation stays as a leader in the internet general- purpose arena will be getting more obvious as internet usages widespread for years to come. YHOO could easily enter any areas provided by other internet companies, such as book dealers, toys, or any entertainment. All in all, it is likely that YHOO will remain its momentum as the internet has been widely accepted by home users, enterprises, government, and education institutions. If you think internet has its bright future, then YHOO probably will be the one you should consider for intermediate and long-term investment. Phil

Hi, Everybody has the right to express their opinion. I am sorry if you sold because of my post. However, I found it hard to believe. You must have a lot of doubt yourself about YHOO's valuation. Sometimes it is best not trying get the last 5% because one may ends up losing 50%. If you really think about buying back today, I suggest you think carefully about that. If you want to gamble on the Net stocks, many smaller ones at much lower valuation are going up much faster. YHOO is at a stage with very small upside potential but hugh downside risk. Have you read the following news: (1) Russia set the stage for a default on $26 billion in London Club debt, and a restructuring deal for more than $10 billion in treasury debt hit snags. (2) Japanese finance minister may resign, and Japan's economy is getting worse. How long do you think the market can go up in the face of all these bad news ? If you have no doubt about the current YHOO valuation, please do not listen to me.
