Remember there is a big difference between YHOO and AMZN....YHOO is a content provider that sells advertising space on thousands of web pages that they have, and the generate revenue and income.... AMZN is a retailer selling a low margin commodity item, for a loss, and it must pay for advertising space to bring people to its site.....they are net losers when it comes to advertising. The 2 companies are not comparable at all, IMHO......YHOO is somewhat of a monopoly and AMZN is just another retailer losing money.....;^) P.S. For the record I did short YHOO at the open (107 5/8) today, because the P/E can now be calculated at 280 with 20% sequential growth.......their profits will actually work against them as the market now has a benchmark to value YHOO against...funny, but the better company(YHOO) is now likely to fall faster than AMZN, because they have a profit....;^)
