I can see YHOO haveing a 50 billion market cap in 5 years if not less. I can see some big players taking their profits right now! Real time, $168.

Anindo, $50 bill in under 5 years? Not on their current business model! If Yahoo gets more into the shopping site game -- delivering their own goods, not just syndicating other's sites, then they may grow revenues significantly. But why, once I've set up relationships with online stores I like, would I use Yahoo? They add no value (and make no money) when I want to buy a book from Amazon or B&N, or groceries from homegrocer.com or CD's from Tower. They add no value when I trade with Schwab, E-Trade or others. They add no unique value when I use web search to find something..there are plenty of search sites to choose from, many that provide much better results than Yahoo. Yahoo might come in handy occasionally when looking for a specialty gift, tho I'd be inclined to go right to the specialty brands I already know -- Brookstone, SharperImage etc. rather than bother with a cluttered portal site. so please tell me again how Yahoo's ecommerce value to me as a consumer will account for its ridiculous valuation?
