Our favorite stock analyst, Merrill Lynch's Blodget is back in the news. Reporting on several stocks, including YHOO, here's what he had to say:

Blodget said it's a good time for risk-tolerant investors to look at some online media companies, including the three listed above.

In a research note, Blodget said, "Although there is still significant risk in these stocks, we actually believe the risk/reward profile is better than it has been in more than two years."

So how did we get from "Blodget smiles on Yahoo auction fee" (audio: http://biz.yahoo.com/oo/010103/47856.html) on January 3, to a stock that's "a good time for risk-tolerant investors" since "there is still a significant risk" today?

Easy. The same way he got to issuing 5 buy recommendations on Amazon at 110, 70, 50, 40, and 30 in the last year and a half.

BTW, the stock closed at 14.50 today.

Please remember this is the same guy who when priceline.com stocks were at $.50 was issuing the same spiel about the risk tolerant investors good deal garbage. And where is priceline today? Not a good sign in my book.
