Ok folks, how about a NEW metric (g), a measure that is sensitive to absence of earnings, yet allows for comparative valuations of internet stock performance...

Introducing:

NET EFFICIENCY = (number of eyeball hits)/ stock price

So... we get to compare how many pageviews per day per dollar spent for an internet stock, or a component of a company which is on the web.

Some examples (total fabrications for illustrative, comparative purposes only):

Net efficiency of YAHOO = 4 million hits per day ([wild a$$ guess]average for last 5 days) divided by $206 7/8 per share (this AM). Currently = 19,335

Net efficiency of AMZN = 2.5 million / $183 7/8 = 13,596

In the absence of earnings per share data, this measure tells us something about the comparative value of any of the companies when we know page views per day and stock price.

This might help bring some stability to the ballon IPO market as well.
