Things that make you go HMMMM. You will recall during the month of December, virtually every page had a banner. Almost without exception. In the Meeker letter it was argued that Yahoo slashed CPMs to drive banner sales. Crazy items such as fruitcakes, memory boards, etc. were being advertised. Yahoo must have been quite nervous about meeting street revenue numbers. Well guess what. I just came from Yahoo and went twelve for twelve WITH NO BANNERS. Shouldn't surprise you since the quarter ended about twelve hours ago. MEEKER, ARE YOU LISTENING? Management is a bunch of scammers. Why don't you research analysts do some research instead of cheerleading all the time. Let the record reflect the (1) the questionable contracts with Softbank saved Yahoo in the third quarter and (2) slashed CPMs (huge bargains) saved the company in the fourth quarter. Oh no, the slow first quarter of 99. What will we do? Guru.
