<Time will tell I suppose, but why would anybody pay over $15,000,000,000 for a company that could be recreated for well under $1,000,000,000? >

I must respectfully disagree. You cannot create another YHOO simply <g> for a billion dollars. It is hard to put a price on name recognition which YHOO surely has. Also, based on what I've read/seen in YHOO's management (albeit minimal); the company is very well run by people that remind me of MSFT. For some that may not necessarily be a plus but to me it is. I think any great company needs visionaries at the helm. YHOO is still in its infancy compared to where it will be 10 years from now. jmo

How many other companies do you think are trying to do just that??? What other search engine is making $$$ at this game?? I can't think of any. Being short right now is NOT a good idea.
