I just can't understand YHOO, like hookers and helicopters it has NO MEANS OF VISIBLE SUPPORT. Is is still valued at 56 times its annual sales? Does it still have a PE of 1100?

This company made a whopping nickel per share in the past 4 quarters.

Even if that quadruples, which I doubt because of competition and costs, they will still be selling at over 250 times earnings.

The difference IMHO AOL and YHOO is AOL is a company with sales - of about a billion per year. YHOO doesn't have the sales, and it won't. It will never, NEVER be able to make enough profit to justify its stock price without the sales.

YHOO is nothing more than and internet company Oxford Health waiting to happen. One day we will all see flowing explanations of why YHOO tanked by the brokerage firms who are now touting the stock to their clients.
