It's been clearly indicated that the percentage of outstanding shares held by Softbank, Executives and institutions is over 80%. I think the quicken.com's info is about right - 253 institutions hold YHOO with 25% of total shares. From its average trading volume (450 shares per trade), it clearly indicates there are a significant number of institutions traded YHOO each day since the average trading value is around $95,000, not an average individual can afford at this price. Of course, there are plenty of 100, 200, or even 300 shares traded in each trade, but there also exist plenty of trades with 1000 shares or more. The evidence of YHOO held by such number of institutions appears to be reasonable. Phil

If you read the 10Q carefully, you will know that YHOO insiders and directors hold 58% of YHOO share, Softbank holds another 30% of the share. So only about 12% is in float! A0Q said that the directors and softbank can make any decisions about the company without the needs to consult any other shareholders. Can you call this a public company? Why one should invest in a company your voice will be denied in any decisions ? So please read the 10Q and recent SEC filing! I can not believe somebody would invest in such a risky stock without reading the 10Q.
