New valuation rules are in effect for this stock. The old stuff with PE ratios and the like don't matter with YHOO. Here's why. In 5 years most commerce conducted in the world will be through the net. YHOO will not only host a major proportion of it, but will get a cut on all sales. When you buy a car or book or pool or kettle or airline tickets in 2003, part of your payment will go to YHOO-bucks. This company will buy out Microsoft and make MSFT go honest, and will end up being the first company in history to be given a position in the US government. They will help lead democracy, and spread democracy , peace and freedom throughout the world. There will be no more hunger, war, sadness, depression or impotence thanks to YHOO. Do ya get it Craig?

Web Street Files Suit Against Yahoo! By Kimberly Weisul November 5, 1998 3:10 PM ET Online brokers sometimes grumble that portal sites charge too much money for the audience they deliver. Now the relationship between one brokerage - Web Street Securities - and one portal site - Yahoo! Inc. - has turned downright sour. In a suit filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, Web Street is suing Yahoo!, claiming the portal company mismanaged an online investing contest sponsored by Web Street. Web Street claimed Yahoo!'s investment challenge alienated potential customers, and that the brokerage received e-mails from would-be clients complaining about the challenge and noting that they would never open an account with Web Street. Web Street paid about $1 million to sponsor the challenge. Participants in the challenge competed for prizes by investing mock portfolios of $100,000. Yahoo! claimed Web Street never fully paid for its contest sponsorship. Web Street said it stopped paying for the sponsorship in September. A button with a link to Web Street remained on the Yahoo! site until early November. Web Street said it also paid an additional $600,000 per year for other advertising on the Yahoo! site.
