Guess Yahoo’s Monday Closing Price, Win A Free Autographed Book!

bookcover1 Guess Yahoos Monday Closing Price, Win A Free Autographed Book!

Since this YHOO/MSFT thing is such an absolute joke, little different from the Ashley Dupre affair and thanks to some solid brainstorming with my friends at TheLion.com, I was inspired to make it into a somewhat useful waste of time by doing a similarly themed giveaway: one free autographed copy of my book, An American Hedge Fund, to whoever guessed YHOO’s opening price Monday morning.

But since great minds think alike, and the greater the mind, the quicker it thinks, Lindzon beat me to it, offering up some cool free yoga gear.

The blogosphere ain’t about copying so to be unique / make it infinitely more difficult / random / annoying, to win an autographed copy of my book, leave a comment on this post guessing YHOO’s CLOSING price on Monday!

    the next time you'll have to say closest w/o going over. or since your about shorting stocks..than maybe it should be the closes without being under....either way, i still would't have won this round.
  • man was I off, had my reasons. No idea with all the media hype this market buys, that it didn't fall lower. congrats winners
  • If you take the 24.52 Ask at close and the 24.37 last trade, my 24.54 (#70) post looks good? Maybe good enough for a book? :)

  • will_the_thrill
    Just read other posts, already 2 - $24.17, I'll take $24.12.
  • will_the_thrill
    OK put a little more thought into this. In Jan it hit its low after announcing earnings (18.58), however, people will look at a google partnership or another offer from msft later on so I figure a 4.50 loss from friday which would make it $24.17. It will go down farther later in the week when the shareholder law suits start piling up.

    Hey, Tim, where you gonna getcher time-stamped news from if YHOO ever does go down? Bloomberg? Nah, I don't think so. Please do givus a hint. Thanx, Tim.
  • Bubba's Clarification to #81
    '... false hope...' means Yang pumpin' 'is own $$$$$ into YHOO to keep the $/shr up in the 18-20 range. After all, he don't wanna alienate 'is employees, do he now? If he's smart, he'll have a pump'm trick up 'is sleeve. Otherwise, he'll be hearin' the song: Another one bites the dust...

    all you punk-ass, high-profile, low-life c&cksU$#kers that leave meaningless non-sense on these forums; putting down Tim because your jealous that he's found something great and is making a difference many people lives...

    DO US ALL A FAVOR... if you don't have something meaningful to post, which all the readers of the website can benefit from, take your comments and shove them up your ass!!! And stop wasting MY time with your arrogant, insecure, out-of-shape BS!!!

    Piss on you haters!

    PS - Sorry Tim. Delete if I've over stepped any boundaries.
