About YHOO, I had some Jan 40s go to put heaven Friday, and
I'm looking for another entry point. Looks like I'll have to use
some TA for it. I'm going to close my puts on NSCP tomorrow,
and I was looking to add some on PSFT, which may have a
lower lamb quotient than YHOO.

The difference between YHOO and NSCP, I think, is the ratio
of the float to the number of shares. Same thing keeps AMZN
in nosebleed territory (words of CFO). Do you agree?

Stock InstOwn Float
NSCP 20% 47%
PSFT 50% 33%
YHOO 7% 15%
( Float %s from yahoo.com, IO %s from Value Line, for early 97.
The numbers seem a little odd... Maybe institutions own
PSFT with shares not a part of the float. )

My guess is that individual employees are holding to get long
term capital gains treatment, then the float goes up.
