RE: Reason for Yahoo's Drop... The private placement of equity. When a company needs to raise funds, it seeks the cheapest source. A private placement of stock is very expensive. Likewise, a company would never use stock to raise funds if it felt its stock was undervalued. While Yahoo has had a great run and Internet mania is still here, I would be careful given the recent private placement at a price below market. Take Care, John Neither long nor short. Just amazed at the appreciation in Internet stocks.
