<<<And please do not confuse YHOO with Microsoft. MSFT has a virtual monopoly, the OS to most PC's.>> This comparison was made based on revenue growth as I felt to compare yahoo with HP (a company that can hardly get out of its own way over the past few years) is a poor analogy. <<If YHOO does not crash this week, then it will just crash farther at some time in the near future.>> My what a bold and deep analysis given the fact that its up 1200% in a year. <<. I think we have seen the top, but I admit I have been wrong on the timing before.>> And you will be again, not because you are wrong about yahoo but because you are a market timer. They always lose money. Buy and hold. <<The chart has all the signs right now with that double gap up followed by today's pullback on higher volume.>> The straight up movement makes it almost impossible to chart with any degree of accuracy. I am a firm believer in the Point and Figure method, which in these types of phenomenon are all but useless. <<The chart has all the signs right now with that double gap up followed by today's pullback on higher volume.>> This is quite common on earnings days...buy on rumor sell on news. <<If your wallet is fat with cash, you might want to look at your account as if YHOO pulled back to say 100 and ask yourself if your wallet will still be fat?>> It's quite fat after the past 7 years. A 100.oo pullback would not even put a dent in things for me. Tomorrow may be a bad day but the sky is not falling. Oh the doom and gloomers really bug me. All I can assume is that you missed out on the run and want to scare the small guy. With all due respect...look elsewhere as I don't scare easy. For those heavily margined it may be a different story as maintenance requirements just were moved to 50% on Yahoo.
