I am short 500 shares at $43. This stock is right out of Weinstein's book on breakdown stage 4 stocks. The only trick to YHOO was not pulling the trigger to early. I challange any YHOO bull out there to find a stock with a bigger Price/Sales ratio. Oh, and I assume I am not the only one that doesn't bother to even look at ad banners. I go to YAHOO every day. Who advertises there anyway?

>>You're also forgetting to mention that AOL has about 10 million paying subscribers. They pay a big chunk of subscriber revenue to WorldCom because WorldCom owns their network now, but AOL has to handle the other associated costs like customer support, billing, etc. I'm not down on AOL, BTW. I think it's a terrific stock here in the 70's. >>By the way, AOL competes with Yahoo in the "intenet land grab" (whatever that means). I know that. AOL legitimatized the Internet advertising industry. AOL and Yahoo are # 1 & 2 in revenues. I didn't invent the "land-grab" phrase; Mary Meeker at Morgan Stanley (whom you should follow) did. >>Total Yahoo operating earnings for the last 6 quarters = $200,000 That's impressive spin. Do you invest in the rear-view mirror? Wall Street doesn't. >>Current market cap = $2.2 billion Isn't America great? >>then why didn't they offer any cash for 411? Seems to me that if they really had the shareholders' best interest at heart - they would have used some of that cash they have sitting there doing nothing, instead of diluting the float. Yahoo stock is terrific currency (Just ask my wife). The owners of 411 had no problem taking it. Why don't you look at it that way? 411 is a solid franchise. Who says the transaction isn't accretive? 411 is fertile advertising ground.
