Larry,

> short interest goes down 90%...

I think you hit the nail on the head. But I'd take it back a step.

It'll happen when more insiders start selling, increasing the float, bringing more investors in, and forcing the stock to behave as any stock must when it is constantly being evaluated by large scale institutional investors who are pretty saavy about how much you really should pay for the current earnings and growth rates.

Until then it'll be dominated by online day-traders and other mostly unsophisticated investors, whose buying habits have nothing to do with the fundamental value of the business.

You really did a nice job calling the market. I should have
bought YHOO calls. Unlike you, however, I don't think YHOO will
ever deliver on the promise implied by its market cap.
