The beta on this stock is high enough and the float thin enough that I would bet it could rebound to the 400-450 level within a Yhoo's current float is 50M and 100M shares after the split. Short interest was around 6M on Dec. reporting date before the recent $200 advance. Yhoo's current outstanding shares are 122 million shares, 244 million shares after the split.

Simon Withers, re yhoo..my greatest fear is the SEC will challange yhoo PRO-FORMA earnings statement of .21/sh when in fact the auditors only statedd .16/sh only a few lines away from the so-called bullish statement. quite mis-leading unless you read the auditors report which also cuts in half from.45/sh to .23/sh for the 12 mos ending l998. Quite suspect dont you think. your comments pleas. E.R. Bell

No way, Mark, with all due respect. YHOO has already suffered noticeable post-holidays advertising decline (only two ads on its home page), and Koogle himself concedes 1Q/2Q weaknesses. YHOO the stock is in deep dog-doo; cannot possibly support $40 bil market cap, or even $20 bil, if 1Q shows revenue declines (it will) and little or no profit, even a loss (it just might). The ad-driven web companies are all dinosaurs; no future for them. YHOO at 50, pre-split, or lower, by 12/31/99, as Koogle and company struggle with the transition to a fee-driven site. They'll make it (they're smart), but not before the stock gets a major black eye....
