YHOO will never be a Ponzi but the MM's love panic buyers and sellers. That's why they have all the marbles and don't kid yourself if you think they don't rule the street. What a small player like you and I must do is learn to play their game. You can't try for a knockout. What you need to do is box and score points where you can.

Desperate ? Me ? You are wearing blinkers. Or maybe you just cannot see at all....*you* are the one who seems desperate to talk this thing down. And I'm not the only one who has noticed it either... Buddy I choose not to work for the next 2 years because I made money on inets. And right now I'm fully hedged..... understand what that means ? As someone who has been on this thread much longer than you, here's a bit of MY advice....please keep your "unmisguided advices" to yourself. We don't need them. We are here to make money, and have something to show for it..... Another piece of wisdom. You don't bulldoze people into accepting your arguements. You discuss. With an open mind. And agree to disagree if that does not work. Getting personal is not very civilized....

<<<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. > One of the more ludicrous exchanges on an increasingly hysterical forum! Socialism!?! What on earth are you thinking about? Actually this last point nicely highlights the difference between speculators and investors, who care very much whether companies make money.
