You guys are truly incredible... Talk about "herd mentality."

But then again, if everyone Believes hard enough, anything is possible. It's happened for two years now, so there's no reason it should stop now. Just because the $0.11 translates into a measly $15 million in profits, is no reason we shouldn't, oh, push this sucker up another 10-15 points tomorrow, right? What's a measly $2-3 billion more in market cap in such a Wonderful World?

No, ladies and gentlemen, this is not sour grapes; I haven't lost a penny, at least not lately. It's just a fascinating study of human behavior to me. "Field of Dreams Comes to Wall Street": that's what they'll call the made-for-tv movie about Yahoo!, the amazing little California company that convinced the world -- or better yet, let the world convince itself, that it was the Spiritual Leader of New World Economic Order.

Okay, everybody: I've put on my hardhat. Let's start throwing those tomatoes!
