<<< A chemistry of success until the equation changes. What do you see as causing the equation to change? I don't think institutions own much of the 2nd, 3rd tier internuts.. only the big names, AOL, XCIT, YHOO, LCOS For example NSOL is only owned 17% by institutions.... or BCST 23% But anyways, I just dont know when enough is enough, its almost becoming a hot potato game at this point.. guy A selling to guy B, make profit, when guy B makes profit he sells it to guy C, guy C makes profit and sells back to guy A... repeat. I just wonder what market cap it will take for people to see that.. or if they really care. Now we have a small army of traders who don't care about valuations... so theoretically they could buy YHOO even with a 300 Billion market cap.. as long as it satisfied their need for 30% in a week returns... and as long as these stocks keep splitting and keeping price "reasonable" (i.e. in the $100-$300 range) what's to stop it? I don't know.. I wrestle with that issue a lot. Yes when YHOO runs up like it has it makes LCOS look dirt cheap (comparisons) but where does YHOO end its run? All logic is now thrown out and like I said its now a shell game... (and yes this is coming from a long) Just thinking out loud, Mark
