I want to get some Yhoo but I am scarrrreeeeedddd;-) Stay scared. That company has been one of the best-sustained "story" stocks of all time. But they aren't making that much money, advertising is a hard way to build a huge market cap (quick: name all of the companies in history that have built a $100B plus market cap based primarily on ad revenues), and their revenues so far are derived primarily from the U.S. market, which is (a) plateauing in terms of total Internet usage (most people are already online here); and (b) wising up fast to the fact that banner ads don't work and nothing has been developed yet that does reach ad targets effectively. Disclaimer: I thought YHOO was overvalued at a $20B market cap, so what do I know.....
