YHOO beat quarterly earnings estimates by 1.6 million dollars. Today the market cap rose by 900 million dollars.

To get a sense of proportion, eliminate the last three zeros. If you had a small business doing 120 thousand in revenues per year, and it were valued like YHOO, then yesterday it was valued at 5.1 million dollars. But since you made an extra $1,600 in profit this quarter, today your business is valued at 6.0 million dollars, or an extra 900 thousand dollars over yesterday's value.

Good Luck to all
