People invest in companies where people can make money. People care sh%t about whether companies make money. Thats a very interesting comment HG. Can people make money in companies that don't make money? Sure, in the short run, but a company that NEVER makes a profit eventually goes to ZERO. So in the long run the answer is NO.

<<<people invest in companies that either make money or they expect to make money>>> >> Incorrect assumption. Your assumption reeks of socialism. People invest in companies where people can make money. People care sh%t about whether companies make money. Dear delirious Capitalists and people who believe in efficient markets invest in money making ventures(MSFT, INTC come to mind). Socialists and i-nuts "invest" in money losing ventures(the british "dole" and amzn/yhoo come to mind). Actually even socialists don't "invest" in the likes of YHOO. Only Albanians and i-nuts "invest" in pyramid schemes!

<<<people invest in companies that either make money or they expect to make money>>> <Incorrect assumption. Your assumption reeks of socialism. People invest in companies where people can make money. People care sh%t about whether companies make money. > Socialism? Come on. Happy, you must be getting desperate. There is a grain of truth in what you say. But, it is your kind of misguided thinking that has led YHOO to the point where the latecomers to this Ponzi scheme are getting killed. Is Capitalism nothing better than a chain letter?
