Glenn, looks like it was triggered by general sell-off at end of day. Similar action in many of the other internut stocks that were running hard during the day (NSOL, DCLK, ATHM etc). Regards Stephen

Does anyone have a clue regarding the sharp drop of YHOO at the end of the market? This is what the Yahoo investor trades on. Volatility. I think it's overvalued, but I don't have the feeling that today has to do with the inevitable bursting of the bubble. But I could be wrong.

Glenn, Just before 4:30, the Bloomberg newswire reported there are continuing rumors about the potential acquisition of broadcast.com. by Yahoo. Wall Street frequently buys the stock of the target company and shorts the stock of the purchaser in these situations. This arbitrage action usually increases if the street thinks that the acquisition will be dilutive to the earnings of the acquiring company. Last time I checked, BCST was still losing money, and thus an acquisition would likely be dilutive to YHOO's earnings. Tomorrow should be a very interesting day for this stock.
