Sell now, before it's too late. Sell now, before it's too late. Sell now, before it's too late. This message brought to you as a public service several times each day by Mad Dog, Guru, Smart Investor, and everyone else who has been completely wrong about this stock as it has quadrupled in one quarter. A wiser sage once said, only sell a stock if you feel it would be a good short. Do you think, really, that YHOO is a good short right now?

HG, Don't do it!! If that feeling is uncontrollable then buy a couple of Feb puts. That way if the stock goes down you'll have protected the profits. if it goes up, great, just be sure to set a stop of (-)15-20% on the puts. Worst case...the stock jumps really quick (you don't have time to sell at the top) your puts get stopped out, and then the stock tanks again...but that's the stuff that only happens to me so you should be alright :)

<<Help me - please ! Someone, anyone. I don't want to sell my HOOs.>> hg, you've got to get a grip. Take a trip for six months or something. Think about the real future, not just tomorrow. Try imagining the world and Yahoo's place in it in 2010. Randy

HG, I'm getting that urge....y'know - to sell and take profits How about this? At what price would you be willing to BUY Yahoo? 250? 230? 200? How about selling calls at that strike price against your long shares? If the stock rises to 300 (or is above the strike price) at expiration, you're called out for the strike plus premium. If it tanks below your strike price, you keep the premium AND the shares. BUT YOU ARE A WILLING BUYER AT OR BELOW THE STRIKE PRICE SO YOU DON'T MIND OWNING THE SHARES AT THAT PRICE. It depends upon your prognosis for the stock between now and expiration. Good luck, let me know if this helps, Chuck
