Slaran, Unless some oil well go up in flames, I doubt Iraq will have much effect on the market. Japan is way more serious from what I've been reading. IMO people trading this stock are not in for the long term. Look at the daily volume compared to the float. The entire float turns over in just a few days. I can't believe this stock is running up with a looming large stock sale, potentially down to $42. I thought at first is was a short squeeze, now I'm thinking it is foolish traders. Those insiders will be happy to get more money for their stock and a squeeze would be suicide. Mabey the broker selling the stock is spinning up the price before the selling starts. Don

>>The AOL rumor will fizzle out by Monday. I agree. AOL buying Yahoo doesn't make any sense to me either. Unless Saddam has developed some effective blackmail strategy, he's a non-issue to the markets. Desert Storm in January, 1991, set off a spectacular stock market rally on the very day the war started. I'm thinking that Yahoo has more correcting (if not in price, then in time) to do because it topped so recently. On the other hand, I think the US tech-stock market is ending it's correction that started in July.
