What's the relation to yahoo in this article? It all goes back to Softbank. I do not wish to explain it all but if you read TheStreet.com and a few other articles it will make sense. Glenn

Softbank is one of the biggest owners of YHOO stock. If Softbank starts selling YHOO, then watch out. Also, there was an article posted a couple of days ago showing how after putting so much debt on Ziff-Davis, they were able to take out enough cash to pay for a lot of their YHOO investment. Furthermore, Softbank has been pumping up YHOO's revenue stream by having other companies that Softbank owns large % of purchase lots of YHOO advertising.
