I see that Yahoo still has three analysts that recommend a strong buy. Does anyone know who they are or the story behind them? Jim.

Craig, Four11 was acquired in October for about 1.5mm shares of YHOO. It is an online directory assistance/people finder type service (only used it once myself). BTW folks, anyone interested in knowing more about YHOO option activity, check this out: cboe.pcquote.com Look at the open interest (does anyone know whether the figure given includes today's trading or is as of yesterday's close?) in both calls and puts. I count at least 4 different calls and 3 puts with 1000 or more contracts open and many others with several hundred open. The April 40 calls alone show 5223 open contracts. That's over $37 million of stock. Gee, it can't be big funds or insiders hedging. They would never do that 'cause they BELIEVE in THE FUTURE!?! Bob
