I do not think you can compare the growth in coke syrup sales volume (3 to 5% yr) to that of YHOO. We have barely even scratched the surface of the capability of the internet. In 20 years we will look back at the turn of the millenium and be amazed at how much we did not know. However there is one thing we do know and that is that holding YHOO for that 20 year period will reward those who are patient. Roader

I've been wondering if Yahoo may have peaked. what I mean by that is it possible its growth is more like that of a giant company like Coca cola. The only thing that's really giant about Yahoo is it's share price and it's market cap. It's sales and especially it's earnings are tiny when compared to companies such as Coke. It should have no problem growing faster than these truly giant companies. But will it grow fast enough to justify these valuations? I think not. We'll see. I assume next quarter will report a loss due to Geocities acquisition costs. After that, per share earnings will be impacted by 1) dilution due to additional shares outstanding, and 2) the current operating losses which Geocities brings to the merger.
