"YHOO is not a low risk value play by any means. We both agree on that. YHOO will need to change their model some particularly in focusing on marketing their products for a fee. The advertising based model will strengthen a little again but it is not enough to carry the current valuation."

I agree -- now consider how a stock like that is valued in a "rational" world -- it sells at a discount to the market. We went through a really weird period where risky stocks were given a big premium to the market BECAUSE they are risky -- this is absurd and real bubble stuff. Until Yahoo can re-establish itself as a grower (assuming they can), it should sell at a discount to the market -- a forward multiple of 10 to 15 would be in the ballpark -- care to think what that would do to their stock price? $5 if they are lucky?
