Yahoo is probably the most oversold Internet stock that I know of. I got in at 175, and I thought I got a best deal. I didn't know I was catching a falling knife. I am happy to see YHOO was unusually strong today. Could this be the beginning of next earnings run ? That old man Greenspan couldn't have picked a worse time to spook the market regarding rate hike than the month of May. Right in between earnings reports for the stock market, and a lack of positive news. I wish the Fed would move to hike the rate now and move on from here. I hate it when they gave you something to fear and worried about for next several months. I am glad May is over. It has been a month to forget. My portfolio got a 10K haircut.

>>Wall Street firms selling huge derivative packages to big insider holders at these firms, across the sector<< Interesting... and I am not surprised, as that kind of biz can be very profitable for these firms. But this raises an interesting issue. As the inside holders are offsetting their risk in their companies, shouldn't they be required to report to the SEC as they must in the actual selling of their stock? Derivatives have always been a way of getting around the hard rules on the street.....
