Rob, the big difference in margin you refer to is already discounted in the price times sales awarded to Yahoo over Amazon. The market values a high margin company more than a low margin company, and that's in the market cap already. I can be as thorough as you want to be in comparing AMZN and YHOO, though I agree they are very different. There are a lot of similarities, however, and the most important two are that they're both focusing on Internet marketing strategies and they both have a dominant market share. I think Forbes would take issue with your characterization of their reportage. Next point: you'll have to clue me in on why Amazon is culpable for the investment speculation in their stock. Lastly, don't you think "Amazonaunts" would be better than "Amazonianuts?" It's not as derisive, but it's easier to pronounce.
