DISAPPOINTED? YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT!

I took the liberty to go back to when this thread first started and it was interesting to see that not until Deleep Katta posted on 07-11-1996, post #144 that "Yhoo is the next IBM or Intel..." did anyone believe in what was about to unfold:

THE INTERNET REVOLUTION

Everyone else thought of YHOO as overvalued (check post #7 - 5/11/96 by Ben Suscavage) - Poor soul, he continued to "short" Yhoo for a few more months - he probably lost "all" his money, because he doesn't post anymore.

Just FYI - if we all had the foresight to just buy 1,000 shares of YHOO when Deleep Katta posted his comments (07/11/96), only 2 1/2 years ago, the initial investment of $5,330.00 (split adjusted) would now be worth:

a staggering - $ 312,000.00

Oh well, I thought I'd share this little piece of reality with all of you and let you in on a little secret:

I AM HOLDING ON TO MY 1,000 SHARES OF YHOO!

RICO

p.s. I wish I had bought them in 1996, 1997 or 1998!!!!!
