Haven't given up on YHOO. Have you noticed how must of their ads are on their own stuff? I don't even know what the market cap is anymore but it is probably around 5-6 billion. Have you heard Roll Royce is worth about $400 and BMW is going overboard paying $800 million? So Yahoo is worth about 6 times as much! I think the computer illiterate guys at WS have overestimated a bit the amount of money that the internet itself is worth. IMO it will just be like a public road the advertising side will not be as important as people believe. And one more thing low barriers to entry and lot's of competitors. IMO the WSJ is worth more than YHOO when it comes to add. At least they seem to attract more advertisers. Pancho
