Took some gambling funds today and shorted YHOO -- 16 to 114 in less than a year -- I believe euphoria is the word -- may go up, but if it heads down, boy will there be a scramble to lock in profits at every 10 point drop. OH. YAO!

>> ...you could write a small program to hit YHOO site
>>continually ... drive the stock another 25 points up ...
>>Hey! Who's to say that YHOO isn't already doing this ...

If the *company* was doing that, *criminal* charges of defrauding
their advertisers could be brought, with possible prison terms
for co. officers, not to mention all the possible civil penalties
from the SEC for stock manipulation, and class-action
shareholder lawsuits.

It would be great for the shorts, but it ain't gonna happen.
