The early reports about Panama’s success seem to have been greatly exaggerated, and it’s probably time for Terry Semel to hang up his hat and leave Yahoo to more tech minded folks.

Ironically, it’s Google, with legions of tech PhDs, that has created and promoted the “fun and user friendly” environments while Yahoo’s more “entertainment centric” focus has created more complicated navigation, search, and advertiser systems.

I just put in a market order but don’t expect any bids since Yahoo has been trading below 30.00 so the options will expire….worthless.

Hey, but it was FUN! ?

I was preparing to just write this off as a total loss, but it’s back up to .30 with … two days to go baby!

But wait, didn’t I have a 4500 profit just a few weeks ago?
I blame Global Warming for this!

Time value is thus very close to what it has been all along. The time value will decay very fast at the end of the cycle, but that’s almost here so I’m surprised it remains so high.

After a month of triumph and tragedy, of tears, and fears, and a couple of cold beers….. I’m very close to where this all started with only a few days to go.

C’mon Yahoo – make me proud and go up to $33, if only for a few minutes so I can sell off and claim the bragging rights I … deserve?

But, there’s still a glimmer of hope over the next week, and I’d have to say it was a fun game overall. However, if I want to retire early I really should stick to fixing toilets at the rental houses.
