If you have a two year horizon I would hold on to Yahoo. You have only seen the beginning of its expansion and growth. It is the no. 1 portal and the Geocities and Broadcast purchases are definitely a long term plus. In two years it will see its traffic increase and become more Universal! The internet medium is a big hit and it makes people do things 24 hours a day all around the year. The advent of new technologies that will mix voice,data,tv, optics etc. will make it all the more appealing and Yahoo will be there when all this happens and will be a market leader. To top it all it is cash rich and stock price rich! I don't foresee a U.S economy slowdown this year and definitely not in 2000 the election year and there is plenty of mutual fund money around! So the two year wait will be worth it as the stock splits and grows!

You are probably too optimistic. Technology companies come and go. Just one big mistake will destroy the future of a company. YHOO is a good company. However, at the current valuation and extremely competitive internet environment, I will not be surprised that YHOO may be surpassed by some other companies in the near future.
