>>>This would mean that YHOO is valued more than either the NL or the AL and about equal to all of baseball. Why not?<<< I absolutely agree William, why not, indeed. In Holland, in 1636, a single root of the rare species of Tulip called the Viceroy commanded the following sums: Two lasts of wheat Four lasts of rye Four fat oxen Eight fat swine Twelve fat sheep Two Hogsheads of wine Four Tuns of beer Two Tuns of butter One thousand lbs. of cheese A complete bed A suit of clothes A silver drinking cup Given those standards, I agree that a share of YHOO has a considerable upside.......... Unfortunately I have no place to keep the Oxen, so I'm short YHOO. Zebra

>>This would mean that YHOO is valued more than either the NL or the AL and about equal to all of baseball. Why not?<< Well, since you asked: Because when people go to a baseball game... --They pay for the ticket --They buy a beer and pay money for it --They buy a hot dog and pay money for it --They buy peanuts and pay money for them --They pay money to park --They pay money for souvenirs Imagine baseball letting everyone in free and trying to make it on just the revenue from the billboards on the outfield fences. That's YHOO. Just my opinion.
