One could ask the same about why AOL is more expensive than MER or FNM. The market is not necessarily rational. It seems to think YHOO and AMZN will have a higher rate of revenue growth in the future. Likewise, AOL has greater potential than MER of FNM. Be long, be strong.

Hello CGarcia !! AOL is "more expensive" using what measurement ?? AOL market cap is many times that of AMZN and YHOO... On a P/E basis, AOL is the "cheapest" I suppose.... But I think YHOO is growing faster than AOL, so it all depends on what metrics you use....in pure dollar terms, AOL is far more expensive than any other Internet company in existence...for good reason, of course, they are the undisputed leader....I loaded up at $94...should have held out for $80 a few days later, but I can't complain...
