All the net stocks behaved this way last year. From May through Sept. it appeared that all the nets were headed for disaster (and indeed they were quite painful for many during those months). If you are a long term investor, I really would not be concerned. Short term technicals do not look good as every "test" of lows seems to fail. We will continue lower until we can break out of the lower lows and lower highs issue. The test of 155 has failed - and it appears we may be going to test the next level down - if 142 goes, I would expect another test of 125. However, IMHO, when the momentum shifts back in favor of up, reaching the old highs shouldn't be a problem.

YAHOO wasn't under the spotlight of the recent cable/broadband noise. If AOL investors worry about those cable deals, YHOO certainly won't be immune. Of course, the recent weakness of internet stocks is a major factor. YHOO is a bit oversold here, IMO. I like YAHOO very much, one of the best companies around. YAHOO message board is kind of mismanaged, frankly I don't know how they can manage that jungle. I think they can still offer services, such as email and scheduling, for free, but need to start charging whoever wants to post messages for a one time fee like SI. A reasonable fee won't hurt YAHOO's eyeballs rate, can weed out junkies/spams who have many alias, so raise the quality of the message board. Would that work for YAHOO? I hope.

Jean, Took me almost an hour......but I finally dug it out. Went down the memory lane and it feels so good now ! I want to point out the middle part - discussion about the price plateau bit....this thread used to host some of the best minds on SI - and I'm not even talking about myself ! Message 6570862 YHOO has become a mature stock, to hold and love till death do us part <g>. Long term potential - great. The ups and downs are noise, and if you can ignore them....thats great. If they bother you, its better to move on.... On a lighter note - check out posts #15501 & 15506 and some of the same kinds around that number ! LOL...There have always been a few of those around !!!!!

HI, JEAN, I'VE BEEN A LURKER ON SI FOR 3 YEARS AND ONLY POST PRIVATE MAILS TO INTERESTING (AND INTELLIGENT) INVESTORS... I'VE BEEN IN YHOO FOR 1 YEAR EXACTLY AS OF THIS WEEK AND HAVE SEEN HI VOLATILITY AS WELL AS PROFITABILITY... AT THIS POINT THE STOCK SEEMS SOMEWHAT WEAK AND OUT OF FAVOR, OVERHANG CAUSED BY 1) REPEATED ACCUSATIONS OF OVERVALUATION 2) CONFUSION AS TO WHERE YAHOO STANDS IN THE AOL/MEDIAONE/MSFT/ATHM/XCIT/ATT NEGOTIATIONS - IT SEEMS TO BE LEFT OUT OF THE EMERGING ALLIANCE PICTURE AND KOOGLE REITERATES (VERY RIGHTLY) THAT THEY ARE GOING TO STAY INDEPENDENT 3) IT HAS A HI MARKET CAP 4)NO NEWS TO MOVE THE STOCK... ON THE OTHER HAND, IT BLEW PAST EARNINGS, IT HAS A SOLID STRATEGY WITH TURBO YAHOO/GEOCITIES/BROADCAST.COM IN THE WORKS AND IS WITH AOL, THE BLUEST OF THE INET BLUE CHIPS... MY READ IS THAT SHORT TERM THE STOCK MAY TREND DOWN TO THE 120 LEVEL THEN RETURN TO 180-200 RANGE, EVENTUAL BKOUT TO 250-300 BY END OF YEAR OR BEFORE.. STRATEGIC IDEAS (NOT RECOMMENDATIONS AS I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ANYTHING TO ANYONE FOR I AM NOT A CFA,CTA ETC) SHORT TERM - ATHM AND THE EBROKERS SEEM STRONGER IN INET SECTOR, EBAY IS ALSO REBOUNDING; LONG TERM, STAY IN YHOO AS YHOO IS THE NEXT YHOO! MY INVESTOR DISCUSSION/WORKGROUP IS STRUGGLING WITH THIS AS WE GOT LONGER INTO YHOO AT 207 EXPECTING BREAKOUT BUT GOT BROKEN DOWN!! S**T HAPPENS!WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO SHIFT 50% INTO ATHM/EGRP/EBAY AND LEAVE THE REST IN OUR ADORED YHOO... HOPE COMMISSERATION HELPS. BEST REGARDS LIN GIRALT FROM VENEZUELA "EGP" ON SI
