That post is to alan, not from him #reply-81744 Perhaps an apology is in order for this; " Hey Alan, come back to the YHOO thread. I just posted your classic prediction that YHOO would drop to $5 when it was at $31. Ouch!!!!! You were wrong again!" #reply-6349923 ? I hear tulips went up big once too.

Adjusting for splits (3 for 2 split 9/97 and a 2 for 1 split 8/98), Yahoo was selling for $10.25 on Friday May 10, 1996. YHOO closed today at $164.75... a 1500% gain in 2 1/2 years. Yahoo's current market cap on fully diluted shares is $18.86 billion. YHOO Profile techstocks.com Many of the issues/concerns Ben raised back on May 11, 1996 were worthy of consideration. However, Yahoo still has a one of a kind search directory, #1 Web brand name and momentum. With eBay, Excite, Netscape, AOL, Microsoft, Lycos, Infoseek, C/Net, and even Go2Net competing in the same space offering similar services, will Yahoo have competitive problems going forward, or will most Web companies continue to benefit from the growth of the Internet? Net Profit margins of 30% (excluding one time charges) during the next year seem achievable for Yahoo, but what about years 2, 3, 4, and 5? Does anyone have Revenue and Net Income estimates for the next several years? Price Predictions?

Scott, actually Ben was not far wrong on the value, but like me he confused value and price. A stock price is determined by what people are willing to pay for the shares and has nothing to do with value. Value is related to revenue and earnings, of which yhoo has precious little and not much hope of growth. But the yhoo stock price is linked to page views which are growing quickly. So long as investors continue to ignore fundamentals and focus on page views, yhoo will continue to go up. The market cap is now approaching $40 million per employee. Wow!
