That's a mistake because of Yahoo's financial performance. Bill, with all due respect, Yhoo, the stock, does not trade according to it's financial performance. If it does, Yhoo's current price would be in serious trouble. Yhoo is trade on "future outlook or future dream/fantacy"; and of course the day-traders momentum. Some think that Yhoo will have $10 billion in revenue and $5 billion in earnings in 5 years, some think that Yhoo will have $1 Billion in revenue and $500 Million in earnings if it survives 5 years.

William..come on..Do you have any idea what market valuation means? Not down on company or performance but there is a limit to what you should pay for an asset. Without this then anything that is good is worth all the money in the world. Look at the market caps on these companies. 17 billion for YHOO..8 billion for AMZN..Are you telling me we couldn't take half that money and crush these companies? Please..this is total insanity. The whole excitment of the web anyway is the ability to seek out a great deal. If that is the case, how are these companies going to comand a premium for a product that is not proprietary? And don't give me that crap that they personalize it..Please. The beauty of the net is the ability to move and shop from store to store in seconds. It is like going to the mall and checking the price of a sweater and in a second going across town and checking another stores price. Think about it.
