I think you're being deliberatedly unfair. But I'll answer you anyway. By regulating margin requirements, only the serious investors remain. IMO the houses were already deep into YHOO, they just wanted to create a steady base for YHOO by weeding away the daytraders and all the other short term speculators (protection of their investment). That having been achieved, it is a good blue chip stock right now...and I see margin requirements relaxed by Feb/March. It IS good for YHOO. Are you serious about the swing between 206 and 19x (whatever)? Can you calculate the %age drop this represents ? Especially on a down day like this when INTC, MSFT and LU tanked more than YHOO ? I think you should also notice that YHOO has begun moving in sync with the market...unlike before where it had no correlation with the markets. Small little detail, but one that can have a deeper interpretation. Come on, be fair. Else you risk being seen as arguing for the sake of arguing.... JMO - of course.
