The point I want to make is that YHOO float is just too small for any mutual fund or index fund to touch it. 65% is just a number I picked on top of my head. One has to agree that YHOO float is just too small compared with its total shares of about 110 million. MSFT definitely has enough float to meet any demands. When adding to S&P 500 is considered, float is definitely a factor. AOL has more than TEN times the float of YHOO. AOL has more than 330 million shares in float with a total share of about 450 million.
