Don't spend a heck of a lot of time trying to apply The Motley Fool's methodologies to Internet companies. The Gardners' claim to fame is identifying small- or micro-cap stocks that aren't receiving much attention from the mass investment contingent and catching the big rise when big houses start paying attention to them. ATHM may well turn into a Dell or YHOO in terms of stock performance, but the Fool Ratio isn't going to tell you that, because a closely watched company like ATHM doesn't fall into the same category as the Fool's specialties.

But their advice on never shorting "open" situations like ATHM, AOL, or most other tech stocks is entirely valid. You could get hosed badly with tech surprises (e.g., RMBS, SYQT).
