Well...let's compare to Yahoo! SEEK: market cap = $263 million P/S = 16.5 YHOO: market cap = $2.8 billion P/S = 75.2 Of course, the Yahoo bulls contend that Yahoo is still cheap because of that incredibly valuable Yahoo brand name. However it's interesting to note: LCOS: market cap = $467 million P/S = 22.3 XCIT: market cap = $455 million P/S = 16.5 So you could buy ALL of the competing search engines for 42% of Yahoo's price, get a much better revenue run rate (they're all losing money however), and have about $1.5 billion left over for a rainy day. You could also buy nearly all of Netscape at the current market price. Netscape however, has a P/S of about 6 and actually has about $32 million in trailing earnings.
