Hi Olu, regarding E-bay and looking at the option tables; I am not sure what to think. But I think that Qcom is always a nice-small play. I am short 100 Qcom shares at $399 5/8; shorted on Friday and was pending to cover @383 but did not make it. I have a standing order(good till year-end)with my full-service broker to short 200 Qcom at $422 and 300 more at $443. I think that a few weeks ago; your charts said that Q will be back to $400 and a possibility to $440?

This is my "demand-pull-Yhoo" theory, what ya think? Yhoo's float is 104M shares and short-interest(as of 11/15/99) is 14M and it's a double from 8/99's 7M short-interest. The sudden demand from the S/P took over completely and made T/a, F/a completely irrelevant. A good lesson here. Yhoo closed @$280 on "the Moday" before "the Tuesday"; the estimated S/P demand was about 18.3M shares at Monday's closing price. During the Tuesday trading, Yhoo went up to $350 from $280, a 25% increase which in turn stimulate a higher demand for the S/P shares requirements during Tuesday. (18.3M shares @ 20% is another 4M shares). I bought 4 Yhoo Dec-280 puts for $7 each via pending, sold for $2.
