Busting Those Anti-Net Jokers

I won't sell my Online if you won't sell your

Yahoo!

(YHOO)

.

Yeah, it is that kind of day. A real prisoner's dilemma. As long as we all hang together and don't sell, we will have one dynamite day. Of course, you could say that is the case every day, but on the last day of the year it is most poignant.

On my screen this morning I saw somebody trying to mark down

Amazon

(AMZN) - Get Report

and I went in to buy it, knowing we have the split (next week) and the report on Christmas sales ahead of us. I also saw Yahoo! being marked down and I rushed in to buy that.

Both sellers were phony. There was none for sale. Just some anti-Net joker trying to cause some pain. Pro-Net guys like me are saying come and hit me. Did you see the Yahoo! and Amazon go from red to green on your screen. That was just little old me trying to find those bogus sellers.

Each morning I see these games played. I usually let them go. But today, I am stepping in. Whack me, Yahoo! sellers! Hit me, Amazon-haters! I have room. And I am ready.
