More international content, MCI-YHOO info, FWIW. From CBS Marketplace: <Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) has plans to extend its international Web directory network to include three more regions this year, according to firm president Timothy Koogle. Speaking at the PaineWebber Internet Conference in New York Monday, Koogle said the company is working on a Spanish-language directory, and versions for the Benelux region of Europe and one for China, Bloomberg news reported. He also told the investment meeting he has hopes the company's new online service venture with MCI Communications (MCIC) will end this year with as many as 300,000 subscribers. He said the service has already signed up thousands of users, the report said.> KJ

Hey, how about some opinions out there as to why YHOO's lead on XCIT in ad revenue dropped so much. Still hard to believe the valuation differences between the two, IMHO. KJ

Time for YHOO valuation joke update!! YHOO has a PE of 918. Last time I checked, YHOO wasn't growing EARNINGS at 918%. Price to sales ratio is 70. Investors are paying $70 for every BUCK in REVS, can you believe it??? Probably worst of all, YHOO market cap is 4.6 billion on REVS of less than 100 million last year. This stock will not defy gravity much longer, the irrational market is all that is holding this thing up at these nose bleed levels. Is YHOO a good company? I would say they are. Do they have a lot of potential? I would say yes, but at these levels, YHOO is a pure valuation joke, and no one with a straight face can argue differently, and if you can, you should be an analyst.
