If you think the MMs and vinick are manipulating yahoo... Stock maniuplation big time over on Verisign.. (VRSN) I watched it today and the market makers would move it up a 1/16 for practically every single 200 share block that crossed the screen. Soon it was up around 13 points, and everyone realized it was a game of musical chairs and it plummeted back down 7 points in a matter of minutes.. No real profits or revenues on the horizon to hold the stock up- the only thing keeping it alive is insider lockup and inability to short an IPO 'cause of the SEC. Sorta like Yahoo. I seriously think this will be the last short squeeze attempt.. Their only last ditch effort to keep the stock afloat will be to do a 2:1 split.. Wouldn't be surprised to see them announce something like while the price is still a bit high. Of course, we all know how much good a stock split did for Iomega. :)

William I think you often confuse a strong stock price with a strong company. Yahoo has demonstrated strong gains, but to equate those gains with the health of the business is a stretch. Currently Yahoo has become a momentum stock nothing more (along with lots of short covering). Some of it's gains could be attributed with being a "safe" haven from Asia's problems, but if the overall market recovers I think you'll see money flowing into more compelling values (Intel, LSI, AMAT, any of the oil drillers...)
