Uh oh, the avg shares/trade for the non-blocks is up to 352 (so far). Given our bounce off of 250 twice now....and in the face of this rally.... ooooooohhhhhh....what to do...what to do.... (wipe sweat from brow)....gulp a fat swig of pepto bismol..... do I cover now, save what little profit I have left (sick feeling in stomach as YHOO was 253 earlier, but now 278).... ...or do I cling to this silly notion that the internet is nothing but an electronic tulip with no potential for exponential increases in profitability that would justify the prices.... .....ohhhhhh..... back down to 276 now, maybe it will go back down....all the big gurus say it will....the market is down overall....but the nets are in positive territory..... ....ohhhhhhhh.... (hands trembling on the keyboard, YHOO back up to 278 1/2).....frantically search the news wires for a reason not to cover.... ...can't find one.....even the grand Poo Pa of doom (Platter) is at a loss for a good solid negative piece today. ....the words buying opportunity leaking on the wires now (cause all the gurus covered yesterday)..... ....ooooohhhhhh my stomach......ohhhhhhhhhh.....279 1/4 and rising.... ....how high's the stock price momma?.....279 1/2 and rising..... and the music played...... I get knocked down, but I get up again, your never gonna keep me down.....

f**** them if they can't handle it. But you've got to admit it, I'm right. So how about a new rule on this board. Each post must contain some info relevant to YHOO. I think a good strategy for people who want to acquire YHOO stock and don't mind holding it for a while, is to sell the puts. The premiums are sky high, so rather than BUYING options, you should SELL them. The premium value goes down with time and the worse case scenario is that you eventually buy the stock at a price LOWER than today's. Good luck YHOO longs...
