YHOO stock for 500? WTF? I think its all time high is in lower 100s.

Hmmm. A quick Google research shows different sources citing a Yahoo stock all time high of $237. I'll ask John.

It appears that it hit $118 in early January 2000. That price, however, is in relative terms. The stock split twice since then, which makes the actual share price on that day in history $472.

On a side-note, the passage quoted from was on page 236 of the book.

Thanks folks, got it.
