Sankar, Thanks for the provacative thoughts about Softbank. Although I don't think that it is likely for a bank to call back Softbank's loans, I can see a sequence of events to get Softbank to sell YHOO shares. Since they apparently add stock gains to their balance sheet, if they have a bad quarter for some reason, I think they would have an incentive to sell YHOO to make their numbers look better. This would be especially true if they were headed for a loss, as then the YHOO profits would be used to offset the operating loss, if it were to occur. Craig P.S. Some of your posts were hard to read, as they extended past the side of my display. Could you please experiment a little next time to prevent this? Maybe using the "Normal Font" button instead of "Fixed Font"?
