Glenn, >> What about more acquisitions? Of course. There are always those. For instance Yahoo could purchase General Motors in a stock-swap merger of equals. I think their market caps are comparable. Perhaps if they wait a few weeks, Yahoo could purchase General Electric as a wholly owned subsidiary. It would only take a few million shares of convertable bonds. The assumption that I am using to drive my trading (and which could still drive me to bankruptcy) is that the acquisitions Yahoo has made are absurdly over-priced. (geocities and bcst). The trick is they have not paid cash, but are using their stock. Do you know whether the geocities dilution is in the float yet ? I know that very successful people on this thread are expecting an over-shoot in yhoo. I don't know what would prompt it, but an acquisition is plausible as a trigger. But also the announcement of a new service on their web page might do it. Something like horoscopes, or perhaps a classifieds section for used clothing or pez dispensers.
