FROM the 10qsb in 1999: amex acquiring phlx - can drop vts: The PHLX entered into an agreement on June 9, 1998 in which the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") would acquire it. The Company's contract with the PHLX is assignable by its terms with the consent of both parties to the contract. The Company has stated it does not intend to agree to the assignment of the contract. Public reports indicate the structure and terms under which the acquisition of the PHLX by the AMEX would occur are still being negotiated. The Company cannot predict the impact the proposed merger, should it occur, would have upon the Company's contract with the PHLX or the operation of the VTS(TM). comments

Candle stick to the facts: The facts about Yahoo are: 1) Yahoo, Inc. did not file "HUNDREDS" of form 144s and went "STRAIGHT UP". There are 91 form 144s entries in the whole edgar database, of which 68 have been filed after Jan 13 1999. 2) Yahoo didn't go straight up after the vast majority of insider sales (and some corresponding form 4s, the definite sale statements) have been filed. It hit a high of 445 (222.5 in January) which was briefly exceeded intraday in April. Before that, Yahoo went straight up, from the low of 3 in Jan 1997 to present prices. In that time, until Nov 1998, NO insider sales have been filed, not a single. 3) Of the filings, few shares have been actually sold. Only 3 (three) form 4's have been filed. The softbank sold 3 Million, the other 2 insiders sold in total 157k shares. This is what makes Yahoo different. This is quite something else to what you touted. Thank you. IS.com
