Awfully quiet on this thread. What was the estimate, 16 cents vs 21 cents. Sounds good to me.

What is the purpose of a split? If not for the purpose of getting the price to a point where it is more liquid, then what purpose? A 2/1 gets YHOO to 200/shr, not much os a difference than 400 as far as liquidity is concerned. Management should want to see the price at 60 - 70 (as a comparison, I expect to see MSFT split 2/1 soon).

I actually see a 2/1 as irresponsible as they will have to split 2/1 again very soon to get the price where it should be.

The split should have been 5/1 or at least 4/1.
