Just a wierd thought.. We probably are pretty much in agreement that a stock typically does not really crater until either current earnings estimates are missed, or the anticipation that future earnings will not be met. Given that the expectations for YHOO are so low (like pennies a share currently). If I were on the inside and had a couple hundred Mil riding on this baby, it would be very tempting to kick in a very small portion of my own funds, to keep this thing a float. I'm sure this isn't the case, but just something I pondered as I put myself in Filo's shoes. On a different note, we have all heard from some of the YHOO supporters here, that eventually the company will grow into its market cap. Can anyone think of one example where a stock was at 50 x revenue, and this did actually happen. Just curious.
