"Everyone is heartily welcom...thoughtful holders, folders, traders, and fence sitters alike, but three thumbs down by the (pretty tolerant, level-headed) judges and you?ll be shown the hook. The names of the little junta are secret, and may change with time." Glenn, do you believe this? Or is this a lie? My statement: "Yahoo is selling at a huge premium to its profit growth." William's response: "Show me!" My response to William: "Its not that complicated William -- I am sure you can do it -- take the rate of earnings growth and compare it to the pe. With earnings growing at, say, 15%, and with a trailing pe of, say, 60, you have a stock trading at four times its earnings growth -- a substantial premium. And that is assuming there will be any earnings growth at all -- but faith is your main basis for owning stock so I suppose it does not matter to you." William's response: "So you made a unqualified statement and can't back it up." A few minutes later three people supposedly have consulted with one another and blocked my access. Do you believe in a few minutes three people would read these messages and ban somebody from posting? This is what I call lying.

The revenue should be a little lower. The Toys R Us items were not all booked as revenue. Just the shipping fees and they did not charge shipping to speak of. Good points. However it is not so clear that the revenue will be lower, as I believe sales of electronic items must have moved up as compared to last year.... There was no shipping fees for orders over $100 throughout the season. I've been trying to figure out the exact cost of this... What is the average cost of shipping $100 of books? $100 of cookware? $100 of Palm III computers?
