When a stock valuation like YHOO gets so out of whack with reality PEOPLE WILL FIND a reason to sell the stock. Possibly an influential analyst coming out and saying that YHOO is outrageous? I don't care much for Barrons but maybe a negative article from them is good for a 5-10 point decline?

On the other hand there are scenarios where YHOO could shoot up 10 or 20 points in one day as well. How about AOL acquiring YHOO for $120 a share in stock? Maybe, you think?
