<< The P/E is about 563, I did not figure the P/E out myself but got it from someone else >> YHOO had a charge a couple of quarters ago so they don't have a PE for the past 12 months. If you take their most recent quarter which was a 3 cent profit and annualize it you get 12 cents/share. If you back out the charge you still get less than 12 cents a share for the trailing 12 months. Take the current price which is 68 1/4 and divide it by 12 cents and you get a PE of 569 on annualized earnings. Got it?
