Mukang ang lalabas is magkakaroon lang ata ng alliance ang MSFT atsaka YHOO rather than MSFT buying YHOO.

Pero isn't it YHOO (like most tech stocks) are trending down since that bubble bursted in 2000. Maliban sa Google which had there IPO after the bubble and after the 9/11 attacks.

I pity those who are short YHOO. (I am not referring to anyone here just to YHOO shorters in general). It just tells us that trading is sometimes gambling you just don't know (the charts won't tell you, I dunno if the fundamentals will but YHOO was getting cheap and somehow its starts to become a target of takeover) when a company like Microsoft attempts to buy YHOO and lo and behold a huge gap up and a quick 50% loss to those who were short.....

True, there was nothing in the charts to tell us of a sudden reversal coming.

everything is gambling...life or trading....lots of risk....but definitely possible to manage risk... to give us an example...kaya tayo kumukuha ng life insurance(manage risk of us not being able to provide for our family), kasi pede tayo mamatay anytime (even if we are healthy)...

same with trading...risk and money management is no. 1 priority...
