Not me.

If funds have billions to invest, they may be willing to average down a bit. Every fund manager wants to be able to say they own some Internet stocks. They would like to say they bought them a year ago. Most fund managers do not like paying 1500 times earnings.

I'll commit to buying if YHOO gets down to 25. I may even buy at 50 to 100. Above that, I may try to ride the next momentum wave. But only after there is a firm bottom. Last real bottom was around 84. Of course that was long ago. October '98.

Yes. If you watch the ticker long enough. Every time I check, the size of ask to bid averages 2000 to 200. Big guys dumping little guys buying. Just wait for the margin calls tomorrow. And then the non-event of the split. And the disappointment of the fleeced.
