OT I was recently speculating about the value of using SI posts as some sort of a mania or buzz measure over on the ATHM thread. Message 7904596 Though I need to do some research, I would speculate that it indicates decreased speculative interest. I think a top might be indicated by a high volume posting pattern.

Norman, the only thing I attribute it to is investor psychology. I dont think it signals a top at all. When Yahoo stock declined about 50% recently, clearly there was a lot of 'pain' and less entusiasm for the stock. The incentive to make a post on SI when the stock goes down like that is not very high. On the other hand when the stock is doubling and shooting higher to the sky people are making huge dough, feel good, euphoric and then feel they have more incentive to post on SI. My recommendation: When the number of posts on this thread becomes VERY SCARCE....then I would suggest you BUY YAHOO like there is no tomorrow!!! nuff said!! >Interesting observation, Thomas.
