Len, Since this game is now my only source of income (my wife left her career at IBM also), I am always somewhat worried. Maybe I have been around too long, but when I look at Yahoo and it is worth more than Boeing, I just think things are way out of hand. The NY Times had an interesting comparison chart in the Sunday edition. They compared Yahoo to Dow stocks like BA. Yahoo has 673 employees and a couple hundred million in sales. It's up another 40 today, that puts the market cap at around 44 billion, BA is at 35 billion. I saw a post on today's YHOO thread from someone that was going to buy a bunch of shares today in hopes of becoming a 'stay at home dad'. Rampant speculation. Don't know how high it will go but it will be corrected in my opinion. I'm a strong believer in the internet, but this is pretty crazy. I'll try to find that post and add it to this one. Regards, John PS - Here is the post... To: abraves (17344 ) From: Goinlong Sunday, Jan 10 1999 6:50PM ET Reply # of 17408 Going for the holy grail Monday AM...5,000 YHOO and 5,000 CMGI.
