I promise that the visitor's to this board are not responsible for a significant percentage of the short interest. The Motley Fool is representative of the stock mania that has engulfed the country, and there are a lot of people that think it's unAmerican and ought to be illegal to sell short.

>>>this thread is littered with people who attribute Yahoo's rise on everything else but the fact that Yahoo is on a tremendous (even historic) build-out.<<<

Personally I think what you say above is speculative. Nothing wrong with speculation, but at what price would you say Yahoo! overvalued? I think the growth you mention is discounted well past 2002 at the current price. There are many companies that had futures as bright as Yahoo!'s, which crashed and burned. There needs to be something built into the price to acknowledge that before you can say that the above is a great buy. Will Iomega in 2002 have returned in excess of the market averages with a purchase price of 40+ in May 1996? I think it will have. Was it more reasonably priced between 15 and 20 then? You betcha. My belief is that Yahoo! is fairly valued for it's potential at ~20-25. I believe the market will adjust for this inefficiency. Only time will tell which of us is right.
