You'll be asking yourself the same thing when YHOO is near 60 in a few weeks.

Everyone knows Four11 has lost money, but last I looked Yahoo was changing hands at $51 a share. Four11 was a startup. You have to ask yourself how many salespeople did they have? What were their prospects as an independent company versus as a Yahoo subsidiary? What was their SG&A expense? All those functions are being taken over their new parent now, at much lower cost. Four11 is now a big global player with a big global sales force and free, priceless promotion on Yahoo. That's what Four11's owners realized. So they decided, "Doh, let's not be cementheads." Meanwhile, all those Four11 cumulative losses are a tax asset for Yahoo. No fleas. Just more page views. The land-grab continues.
