Hey, anybody notice that a half dozen officers of YHOO sold over $20 million worth of YHOO stock (>175,000 shares) in April and May. Koogle $3.4 million, Mallett $9.4 million, Valenzuela $4.5 million, and others smaller amounts. Last Q's selling window, BTW, Mallett sold $6 million, Valenzuela $4.9 million and Koogle $1.8 million. I guess Koogle's kids go to state universities. Also, in case anyone forgot, Softbank sold 820,000 shares from 12/31 to 1/26. Bob

Am I missing something? I don't see anything materially different between the original filing on June 12 and today's. I didn't compare the documents line-by-line but far as I can tell everything mentioned negatively in the Marketwatch piece was included in the original June 12 filing which followed the Viaweb agreement. These one-timers are no big deal as long as operating results are reasonable. Yahoo had huge one-time write-offs last year in mid-year for Visa Marketplace and at year-end for Four11, resulting in substantial losses for those quarters and CY 1997. If you find anything that counters Yahoos Q1 expectation that sales and marketing expense will grow at a slower rate than revenues, then that would be a serious signal. I could be missing something very important here, but as long as Yahoo sucessfully tests it's previous high here at the 128-29 level and Yahoo makes no formal analyst warning I'm not concerned. C-net carried the story early today. news.com
