Mkt cap update on AMZN & YHOO: Add em' up: Three largest airlines in the world, in terms of market capitalization: AMR Corp (American) mkt cap: $11.807B DAL Corp. (Delta) mkt cap: $7.737B LUV (Southwest) mkt cap: $7.589B ------------------------------------------------- Top three airlines total: $27.133B YHOO mkt cap: $21.76B AMZN mkt cap: 8.24B -------------------------------- Number 2 and 3 players in online stocks: Exactly $30B. Exceeds top three airlines by a cool $2.867B Throw in NWAC (Northwest Airlines) mkt cap of $1.979B, and you have the number two and number three players in online mania beating out the top three airlines in the world, plus number five. Since UAL Corp is worth $3.969B, it will only be a few days before the YHOO and AMZN duo will have the top four airlines in the world beat in terms of market value. Notice I left out AOL mkt cap, which is too obscene to even mention. I didn't want the comparison to be too lopsided against the airlines. Now I'm askin' everyone: Are we all from now on going to be staying home buying Beanie babies off the internet, or what? I think not.
