Maybe rather compare it to the NSCP of 1995 ? Probably that gives you the better guidance for the future of YHOO ...... :-) !!

Perhaps we can compare it to MSFT then ? Price 82. Earnings = $2 and growing at a faster rate quarter to quarter than yhoo ? If you take the view that money is money, no matter where it comes from, look at some of the oil drillers and support. Example: TMAR (Trico Marine). Earnings $2.82, Earnings growth rate 32%. Using the Yahoo evaluation method of current price = earnings 5 years out the price should be 1.32^5 * 2.82 * 32 (PE = Growth rate of earnings in 5 years). That equals $361/share!. The current price is about $20. Of course sentiment is currently bad in the oil sector and earnings don't matter either. Eventually the sentiment will turn away from the i-net sector, then guess where YHOO stock will be trading at. Even given a generouse P/E of 100 (for that 100% growth one keeps hearing about), that give YHOO a stock price of $16 for this year and $33 for next year.
