Aki, I think the "catch" with adding those outstanding shares up is that the float is more important. I don't think experienced money managers are buying these stocks, with the exception of the mutual funds that are Internet mutual funds and therefore HAVE to. I feel these are retail investors running these stocks and the Nasdaq market makers helping them along. It's just too ridiculus to think the semi money is coming from the Internet stocks. At least, that's a story I can't buy.

"if you add all of yahoo's issued shares (presplit), excite, amazon, lycos, add more if you wish... what is the total" Oh Boy! My poor father does this. " You bought another share of Brk at WHAT!!!!" Please, let's multiply those float numbers by the share prices and get total dollars. Won't that be much better and more accurate? And, Aki, you are right about everything. The point was only that momentum players would pile into these as maybe even their next victims. they are blood sucking leeches, but they will help here eventually. the bottom looks more certain to be in the next 3 months. That is what we all decided in December, so we would have been better off forming a support group so we didn't budge from our initial decision.
