Randy, <<<You think Fund Managers can't buy their fair portion of shares as it is?>>> I got flamed some time back when I talked about institutional investments in YHOO. Someone came up with an article indicating thin float and a 4% intitutional ownership. Quicken showed a 25% ownership. There was some clarification on the difference in numbers but I don't remember it getting resolved. My remark stems from that discussion. In addition, institutions cannot buy without pushing the prices further up...and they may be loathe to do that. <<<Hopefully the future health of the Internet and advancement of technology don't hinge on the current market being nonvolatile!>>> No, but for some reason non volatility spells consensus in some minds. To the industrious volatility spells opportunity. <<<I don't think it makes much difference for a long term hold>>> Agree 100%. Although successive splits pump the price high and opportunities to trade emerge. Are you long or do you trade ? HG
