Jerry, remember that I was recommending this stock just one or two month ago. Now I have experienced a reversal. We've all made alot of money on this stock. I've made even more on other stocks I own and I am not the least bit sour. When I read this article, it just plain shocked me. I have seen this type of manipulation once before in a company called Teletek (TLTK) and I lost a ton of money on that one. All I can say, is that this article is a good indication that Softbank may be influencing the manipulation of the financials of Yahoo, E-Trade and ZD. Not only that but they are influencing the hype factor on these stocks as well. I bet you that Softbank has already locked in their own profits from these shenanigans. I just felt that people should know about it. Sell or buy any of the above stocks, I don't care what you do. Just do it with full knowledge that you are buying a stock that is so hyped that the risk is tremendous. Bubbles inevitably burst. If you get out now you can at least lock in your own profits. I for one am sticking to my "old faithfuls" like Cisco and RMBS for my 1999 run. Problem is they are overhyped at the moment too.
