I'm amazed...and not even gloating. I would have thought some would take profits. Maybe because YHOO announces earnings, AOL is indexed and MSFT - the paper today gave a semi favourable article. All cashed out and ready - with nothing affordable...! Story of my life. The probability that they would, has ensured that they didn't. Maybe too many people waiting to lap up....like me. Or maybe the WOLF has been sighted too frequently. This is amazing. Truely amazing.

I think the reason is that many small investors are still buying YHOO after they heard instant RICH stories over the holidays. The professionals are definitely selling as shown in AOL. Since the institutional ownership of YHOO is low, therefore the impact is smaller. However, when people realize stocks like YHOO and AMZN will not make them rich in 1999, they will unload and try to find other stocks. The same will be true for some mutual fund managers. At the current valuation, it will be impossible for YHOO or AMZN to go up the way they did in 1998. Some people are still hanging on their share with the hope of a blow-out earning this quarter, such as 0.25-0.27/share. I think those people will be disappointed. I believe that YHOO will trade below 200 in 3-4 weeks, then down to 150 or less in march or April time frame.
