First, comparing BII and Yahoo is unfair(to Yahoo). Yahoo is supposed to be the 'gateway' to the internet. It is one of the most viewed web pages which means huge potential advertisement revenue etc. For some reason I don't think if BII had as much revenue as Yahoo it would have a $8.3 billion US market cap as Yahoo does. When comparing anything internet it's probably best to compare similar areas (example, I.S.P.'s, online auctions, search engines). Share prices don't matter as much as market cap. See my post 620( I guess everyone ignored it). That being said, no internet stocks make sense to me! When the bubble bursts watch out( I don't think any BII holder's have to worry about this). Sorry all for not sticking to BII, but I had to respond to his post, (it was eating at me).

Sidi dear, the way the stock market works is - it most often defies logic and common sense. Please read the excellent article on how good news is bad and good too, depending on which stock market commentator . go to the Leith Wheeler home page at <http://www.leithwheeler.com> See page 2/paragraph 6. Also, it seems, referring to your examples, that the more the company loses, the higher the valuation on the market. so, if BII takes all the money it is getting from the Yorkton financing ($8 million +/-) an all the money that duffer at Rogers is throwing into the pot - and BII loses all that money in one year, why then it may get that there stock price up there past $5. But you can always short the stock - just kidding on that last one. Good investing, man. don.
