Earlie, personally I'm short Yahoo at 50 (ouch) and 67. If I was a start up and had a ridiculous valuation (assuming I was a company), I'd be using the stock to buy all sorts of stuff- I'm amazed that Yahoo hasn't been doing this to a greater extent. Of course I guess it could be related to the fact that the company is comparably overvalued when compared to other internet co's save possibly nscp. Man, Yahoo could probably buy nscp. Anyways, a question about squeezes. Obviously at least a bit of this runup is related to a squeezing of the shorts. How sustainable is short squeezes of this type in a company with a fairly large market cap like Yahoo? A comparison would be aol, I guess, but aol at least has considerably better fundamentals. Or at least it has fundamentals.
