Don't worry Director, I'm sure you can just arbitrage it down to the 180 range where you were going to cover. (And I hope you can get a good offer on your house!) regards, Victor

I will be back. IMHO, Trading Yhoo, especially if you plan to short, should be a non-emotional matter. Don't think valuation, just demand/supply at different periods. Currently: Yhoo's Float - 105M shares(existing supply side) Insitutions - 56M shares(existing demand side) Short interest - 14M shares(demand) Retailers - 105m less 56m + 14m = 63M shares(existing demand side) What's the fresh demand due to S/P? Will other players(such as day-mo traders) join the demand wagon? Who will sell at what price to increase supply tomorrow? All very interesting. If we do see $280 or so tomorrow or next week, will it be high enough for a short position(Dec puts)? After the S/P absorption, the only short-term event left is a split announcement. I doubt that Yhoo will pick the Dec-option-Thursday to announce a split?
