Good point. Yhoo was a classic example that its business model couldn't make it on online advertising revenue alone. Yhoo is now trying to change that as we speak. Nowadays my beef with the three aforementioned companies is valuation. I never debate on the topic of valuation because trust me I don't have clue.

Barron's suggests that a reasonable price-to-earnings ratio could be 20, but based on its examination of Amazon fundamentals, it says such a ratio justifies a $5 price rather than Friday's close at $19.80
