Doug - let's see YHOO's PE - 400 - 500 MSFT's PE - 70 - 80 EBAY's PE - 1400 - 2000 Will YHOO's or MSFT's PE go down seriously if it buys EBAY (considering it will have to pay premium on it as well) - yes. Would that acquisition be badly dilutive to the stock of either company if one of them buys EBAY? - yes Would that be a good deal for a company - no As for price/sales ratio - in EBAY's case it is meaningless. What is "sales" for EBAY? If an item goes for $100, was it EBAY that "sold" it? Does $100 go to "sales"? That would be very creative, but false.
