<<<Yeah, so what. The question remains , is that worth 6 billion dollars? (the current market cap of YHOO) 8 billion? 12 billion ? Or perhaps 300 million?

Again, I have a great car . A BMW. I love it , it is the BEST...Will you give me 1 million dollars for it? How about 2 million or 10 million? Really, its the best car, the BEST, how about 8 million dollars? Why not?>>>

But your car, while great, will not get better and better. It will not have more and more and more customers. Millions more EVERY YEAR. Your wonderful car will not CONTINUE to make millions and at some point, billions (I agree, that will take quite awhile, but it will come.).

As many people are saying, this Internet business is so new and will be so explosive that the monies it is and will generate will one day soon make these current valuations solid. But until then, we will debate this day in and day out. And both sides will be right.

Over a billion dollars voted Thursday that Yahoo is presently worth more than $5 billion. Pretty conclusive vote.

Your car competes in the marketplace like anything else. It's worth what you can get for it. You may think it's the best, but other cars may fetch more.
