David... >>I think YHO is a prime shorting candidate....<< I am short this "puppy" and I need a really long straw I am so far underwater. Shorted at 50. By any valuation measure anyone can think of, this stock is way, way overvalued. Nonetheless, the hype around it keeps coming and I do not know when this will change. I found this article this A.M. FYI. >>AOL, Netscape, Yahoo! top Web sites The most popular Web sites last month were those operated by America Online, Yahoo! and Netscape. Research released Monday by Media Matrix, a research firm based in New York, said AOL.com was the most visited Web site by users at home, reaching 47.4 of Net surfers. Yahoo! was tops for access at work, reaching 45 percent. Yahoo! and Netscape were second and third for at home users, while Netscape and AOL ranked number two and three at work. The top at home content sites during the month were ZDnet, Disney and Pathfinder. At work, content sites top ranked were CNN, Pathfinder, Weather and USATODAY. Indicating some people may have been doing holiday shopping at the office, Amazon.com was 13th most popular site for at work users. The book seller's site was 25th for at home Net users. cbs.marketwatch.com << There is also another interesting article on Internet stocks at >>Tue Dec 23 Follow The Value: Big Ups, Downs & Dips In Web Stocks By Steve Harmon Senior Investment Analyst<< isdex.yahoo.com One comment that caught my eye was that YHOO is UP 174% from Sept. 30!!! It MUST be ready for shorting. Good Luck. bob T.
