Since it started trading in 1996, Yahoo's stock has shot into the stratosphere along with many other Internet stocks in 1999.
It returned over 500% in both 1997 and 1998, and more than 200% in 1999.
Such performance is certainly impressive, but will be hard to maintain.
Speculative growth stocks in general, and Internet stocks in particular, are fragile. They can crumble on a whisper of bad news and rally on an encouraging rumour, so be prepared for plenty of volatility.
There's not much you can do about that; to get those highs, you have to risk the lows.
