I agree that there is always an element of luck. But all the luck in the world won't help you if you don't aggressively seize opportunities that may be presented.

I still think Yahoo is grossly overvalued, I was just trying to consider how someone who is buying this for the long term may be thinking.

These guys, like the ones you mentioned, all have 800 pound egos. You bet they are competitive -- and they want to kill all competition. Yahoo! was first, and continues to innovate and lead the rest. Don't forget this.
