>>> the float is 6,500,000 shares.<<<

What happened to that discussion concerning IBDs position that the float is 22+ million? How do you get 6.5 million?

Another thing: The stock is awfully easy to borrow nowadays. I borrow shares almost every morning. I actually would be surprised if I was rejected. I remember when I first borrowed some, it was after weeks of calling my broker every morning before and after the bell. That was before the squeeze from 50 (presplit) to 58 (post split).

Barb!

PS to Peter!!! My ! was stolen by mad Yahoo! longs who resent me placing it at the end of my name in order to show how silly it is to put an ! in the name. -B!.

The big Yahoo! insiders like to hold this stock, there's now telling what will happen over the next few weeks.

I suspect that the float is a bit bigger than 6.5M at this point, unless the institutions bought a bunch of more shares -- which is very possible.
