Guru, you are one powerful dude, could you please flip around, and hold these nuts up, now that you have made some bank....

Guru, hopefully the scarring will be minimal. >>You are not a very good aim. << Actually, I was just a journalist calling the action from up in the Discovery Channel's Skycam.... I wasn't a member of the ground militia....but if I had been I'm sure I woulda gotcha...:) I've been around a gun or two in the military.... First of all, please tell me that you have established a long position going into the split run... ...so far so good with the press...everyone trying to dismiss the strength as profit taking by the shorts.... ...only problem is (for the shorts), the small spattering of bullish news tossed in (just as I hoped)...to the tune of larger funds taking this opportunity to buy the major internet names (having admittedly hosed it up the first go-round). This fact is not blasted around everywhere, but merely passed around as polite dinner conversation (gotta keep it out of the mainstream just a bit longer). I think we're in good shape (internet sector) for next week... Very encouraging to see good 'ole HRZG on the ask all the way to the closing bell. BTW, HRZG tends to only show up when YHOO is in an uptrend... ...just a simple observation from the last major run...might be nothing... >>Predict for me the revenue for Q1<< .23 ...justification: no one expects decent numbers following last qtr (with holiday and all), so a perfect opportunity for YHOO to pull a rabbit out of the hat... the CEO is a sharp dude. ...sheesh... watch out for that oriental guy!...

Hello Guru and All, We all know Softbank and Son screwed many shorts last year. I think he will screw many longs this year. Look at the article on page 108 in Business Week, January 25, 1999. It said "Softbank suffered a $22 million loss in the six months ended last September. Though Softbank is sitting on unrealized gains from some hot investments- including YHOO!- that does not help its cash position." From what I can see, Softbank needs cash fast, and has huge gains in YHOO. I think Softbank will unwind its YHOO position to raise cash.
