    Goog still a good buy and so is MA. AMZN is not doing much. YHOO at 11.40 looks nice. It was actually up .01 yesterday mid day.

    Just because it is "cheap" shouldn't mean it looks nice. Not only are most technicals in the shitter but their business model is what? Online news? Where is growth going to come from? Makes no sense for a buy and hold investor.

    There will definitely be some more downside.

    But if you think a certain stock is a good long term buy, then go for it, and just add to the position if it drops first.

    If you think something is a buy, and fundamentals havent changed, then price drop is just great opportunity.

    DONT LEVERAGE. DONT TRADE MUCH ON MARGIN RIGHT NOW.

    You could get pushe dout fo a good long term position if you margin too much right now, and it coudl snowball on you.

    Yep. Yahoo is becoming irrelevant. Will be the next AOL.

    Yahoo is a great buy now. Fantasy football is about to start and they will have a great 4th quarter in earnings.

    Yahoo! Inc.
    (NasdaqGS: YHOO )

    Real Time 11.79 Up 0.70 (6.31%) 11:57AM EDT

    Nice move. This is not a goog or amzn but its not priced the same either. At Yhoo's valuation it deserves a look here. It will not be an AOL because it is a portal. Plus, as we saw when msft tried to buy them, they would fit nicely in with someone especially at the current valuation.

    For someone who ridicules traders and preaches the old and outdated buy and hold methods......YHOO stock has been flat for 2 years and 1/3 the price it was a few years ago for a reason.

    Just sold at $7.00, I see no reason holding onto anything with the Fed going to make a statement in less than an hour. Usually the markets tank when these guys open their mouths, of course with me selling now, it will probably keep going up .Still a nice $3000 profit in less than 24 hours, good luck to the rest of you.

    Just a reflection about Yahoo. I live in Europe and I havent heard anyone mention yahoo in the last 10 years. FYI.

    Its all google and hotmail here.

    Actually I do not ridicule traders. I am indeed one myself. But I'm also a long term investor. As far as YHOO goes I like its valuation and I liked the fact it was up .01 midday yesterday when the other 499 stocks in the SnP 500 were down. Technically speaking I thought that was very interesting.

    For real investors I mentioned these are great times to pick up some great companies at a discounted price. I consider an "investment" to be held at least 18 months(for tax purposes) and anything under that is a trade.

    By the way, the "old and out dated buy and hold" has made many common people millionaires. Its easy to do and out performs every other strategy and investment over the long term. Best way to do it is pretend you will sell everything when you reach 55. If you are 25 then you are planning on holding everything you buy this year for 30 years. You dont buy trades you buy great companies like a MA or a GOOG. Next year you buy something else. On your 55th birthday you sell them all for gazillions of dollars and live off the interest.

    Damn straight, Johnny!

    "Old, outdated buy & hold".....please. If making money long-term ever becomes outdated and out of style than please let me know.

    It's funny how most of these brilliant day traders cashing in big on the stock market are some of the same guys worrying about getting "limited" at the books and always bitching how their "payouts" aren't timely??

    Wish I could make easy money like theses sharps. Still have to make my living the old fashioned way....

    Now that governments are no longer able to pump artificial stimulus into the economy the traditional 'buy and hold' mentality is something im definitely going to be looking more into...Although anyone that thinks that the next 24 months arent gonna have more bad days than (in the US markets at least) good really needs to rethink their approach as alot of negatively geared news re employment, housing etc is gonna take its toll, no doubt....

    Opie, you try opening books offshore (oh thats right u cant), make a couple of arb wagers to only then get accused of being an 'arber' with limits then set at roughly $4 ...UK books especially are atrocious for this...

    Would like to see what will happen now that there is no more federal money to be pumped into the economy. Just because the shorts covered their positions late this afternoon it doesn't mean they won't get out of the woods the rest of the week.

    Pavy make no mistake its 99% psychological atm...Times are changing...Luckily, here we follow the lead of the US close upon opening so things are much more predictable...Last week 3 days have been some of the easiest money for spot traders ever...

    I suspect money is going to continue to filter its way into stocks as long as rates are 2% and earnings are decent. They are just a more appealing place to invest as long as those two factors remain.

    why don't you guys just stick with gold and silver?
    over the last 10 years you have been getting your asses handed to you in the market, with occasional "rallies" that aren't really rallies since the dollar continues its death spiral.

    GOLD IS REAL MONEY
    SILVER IS REAL MONEY

    EVERY PAPER CURRENCY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD HAS BECOME WORTHLESS, USUALLY AFTER THE PRINTING PRESSES GO CRAZY (SOUND FAMILIAR?)

    why place your bet on something that has been proven wrong 100% of the time, thousands of times, instead of something that has been proven right 100% of the time, thousands of times?

    instead you waste your time looking at the market, waste your money on commissions/fees/etc, and still don't make any real wealth.

    gold at 1700-1800/oz is still cheap compared to paper that isn't backed by anything except the words of a bunch of habitual liars and con men.
