My point was a sarcastic one...it amazes me that the Universal card's operations and Yahoo are "worth" the same thing...yeahh right! Seriously though, I think that analysts and "investors" are underestimating what AOL (believe it or not) is going to do to YHOO. Permitting email access from the web is HUGE (10M unique visitors). Think of all the people (millions) who could not access their AOL accounts from work because they do not have AOL there--they just use the regular old web and use YHOO to do their searches, get their quotes, etc. With web based email access, where do you think that these people will gravitate during the day...YHOO, NOT! Let's see AOL mail, quotes, netfind searches, sports, community, blah, blah, blah. And by the way, they just keep getting bigger and have a much larger international base of users than YooHoo.
