It has been discussed on YHOO board for some time, but nobody paid much attention to it. I decided shorting YHOO mainly based on those practices, but did not have much luck. Many people probably lost a lot of money shorting YHOO. The stocks broke out after Mary Meeker of Morgan Stanley promoted this stock on the Barron's article despite all those troubling practices (She is part of it so she is definitely aware of it). That is why I think there is ground for a class action suit against Morgan Stanley, Softbank and YHOO so people can recover their loss! I am not a lawyer. If I am, I will start a class action suit right here.

>It is simply a huge story and could be what pricks this bubble. >Did that reporter break it? Have you seen it elsewhere? Its actually 'old' news (see the yahoo thread). Remember, AMZN was as low as 109 Monday when it warned that it missed the whisper# for revenues. It was quickly explained to us that 'the whisper was just too high' -- AMZN then went on to almost double by mid-day yesterday.
