I prefer to prepare more yolks in one time than do it everyday too.
In the fridge mixed with sugar its still good after 4 days.
Maybe more i dont know i always eat it in less than 4 days.

No, they don't.
And whether or not you put sugar in it won't make any difference. Since you eat some of it every day, it will definitely come in contact with oxygen every day, and so there will still be oxidation even if you cover the cup where you keep them in the rest of the time. Also, fridges are loaded with bacteria. Once the yolk isn't protected by the sack anymore, it will turn bad very fast.

Where can you get a vacuumed container? I have never heard of it.

I don't know what he's refferring to specifically but all I know of is foodsavers, like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-Advance ... B000AAYD6W

which basically you put the food on a plastic vacuum thing and the machine seals it airtight while sucking the air from it so as little air is let to stay oxidizing the food contents, this process prolongs shelf life of a wide range of foods by a lot..

notes:
I don't reccomend that anyone buy that foodsaver in the amazon link, always research first I'm sure it's a bad one because it was the first result by google ;)

there may be other ways, like Pump N Seal for mason jars, but these are not as effective I've heard. But they are cheaper because you can re-use the jars.

When I first started separating yolks it seemed like a bitch, but now after a few weeks I'm used to it and am able to separate yolks quite quickly (<1min/yolk). I kinda look forward to the ritual, it's pretty zen. :)

I don't understand the logic in a lot of these posts. If you are going to eat eggs - eat them whole. There are substances in the whites to assist with digesting the yolks and vice verse - you will lose the goodness contained in the yolk if you don't also eat the white.

The logic is that there are anti nutrients in the white (avidine, ovomucoid).
There are substances in the whites to assist with digesting the yolks
What part of the yolk is hard to digest for us?
(requiring help from substances in egg white)
