Yahoo's market cap now exceeds that of the following companies: Goodyear Tire & Rubber J.C. Penney General Mills Honeywell Seagram Co Union Pacific Corp Coca-Cola Enterprises (Nasdaq: COKE) Deere & Co 3 Com Nissan Motor Co Charles Schwab Applied Materials Archer Daniel's Midland British Airways RJR Nabisco Nike Transamerica Corp UNOCAL Corp Unicom Mc-Graw Hill Tribune Co Mattel Aetna Hershey Foods Hartford Financial Services Polygram Northern Trust Occidental Petroleum PPG Industries AMR ( American Airlines) , Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines.... actually every airline in the United States . There are only 216 companies that have a market cap higher than Yahoo's. I could list them... there is no need to, you have heard of them all. From this point on, any bullish argument made about Yahoo has to assume that not only will Yahoo be the biggest player on the the net, but that web advertising ( or being a portal) will be one of the biggest industries, period. That more dollars will be spent on web advertising than on food, automobiles, telephone, movies, utilities, computers, software, television advertising, air fair, defense, health care, etc.
