When it becomes obvious that YHOO is going to rule the internet and do billions of dollars in commerce and ad revenues, you will have to pay $40 billion!

you can wait until it's obvious that YHOO is entrenched, but it will cost you a lot more than $3 billion when that happens.

Just maybe YHOO will never disappoint.


So, you are saying that we should pay now what might be a reasonable value 5+ years out, assuming that they will never disappoint, because by the time the company is really worth $4 billion you'll have to pay $40 billion to buy it?

Let's see if I understand - It is seriously overvalued now because it will always be seriously overvalued and if you want to have a ten bagger in five years, discount the arbitrary $40 billion five years out back to today at around 58% per annum and get a value of $4 billion.

Craig, what's the drug of choice today?

Am I missing the Vision Thing or is it really a Hallucination Thing?
