Hello again, all --

Actually, however, I have done quite well investmest-wise
purchasing distressed securities. Mirant for example. However,
the decision to do so was based, in all cases, on my assessment
of the real future of such operations based on the market
situations and public perception of that market. I anticipate in
the Yahoo case that the end result will be a buy out by a firm
with deep pockets and the management acumen to sort out the dead
wood. Otherwise it may go into Chapter 11 bankruptcy the
results of which could be very profitable for investors.

So -- the Yahoo situation is a mixed bag. In the case of
Chapter 11 it might be a profitable investment, but in the case
of a buyout -- the time for purchase is now BUT the market
situation for dot.coms is once again becoming marginal so I would
NOT make a buy recommendation.

The Business Week information that I posted was for the benefit
of those who seemed to consider my comments about Yahoo as some
sort of joke requiring sarcastic response rather that the result
of serious consideration of the events that have transpired over
the past years and their effects on the eGroups. The cumulative
effect on all of Yahoo has been a large reduction in advertising
income coupled with a payment of over $ 11+ million/year to a
non-technical CEO.

Like the defunct Apple/Pepsi deal of some years back -- Jobs'
mistake of bringing a "sugar water" executive on board..

all --
The current
issue of Business Week (July 7, 2007) contains on pages 35
 and 36 a review
and analysis of the problems at Yahoo that have led to
 the current
state of affairs and existential crisis.
To see a video
profile of ex-CEO Terry Semel just prior to his
 resignation
last week, go to:

A buyout is
probably their only salvation, but with the severe
 attrition
of technical personnel, even that will be problematical.
