The explanation of my calculation is over on the YHOO thread, and since my AOL software at the moment isn't allowing me to copy text into message posts (anybody else had that problem? If so, please send me a private message with solution. Thanks.), I won't copy it here. But I reached pretty much the same profit and revenue numbers you did. The difference is that I didn't assume that in the next 25 months YHOO stock would not appreciate at all. Instead, I took an assumption from a YHOO optimist's post that the stock would reach $1,000 (Actually they said $100 billion market cap, which is a little over 1000 share price). The point was that the upside isn't here, because even to get to a PE of 37, which is bigger than most, you have to assume ridiculously wild growth and no stock appreciation. Where's the upside in that? So as a long-term play, the more numbers I look at the less sense YHOO makes. You have a way with numbers; please try to convince me otherwise. MAD DOG
