P/E ratios are pretty meaningless when a company just starts making profits, as the numbers are too small to yield useful ratios. For example, when YHOO reports earnings tomorrow, assuming it comes in at 0.13 (that's 4 cents above the consensus estimates), the last 4 quarters goes from 0.15 to 0.26, and the P/E ratio comes down to 480. What's more relevant is estimated earnings and that is looking good for YHOO.
