Ditch... Not a direct comparison per se...more an overview of the Internet sector, a point which you appeared to miss with your Saf T Lok example. Note this additional text from that same article from Marketwatch..... cbs.marketwatch.com "...But let's be fair Yet while these comparison exercises certainly are fun, it's not quite clear that they're fair. Comparing Yahoo!'s worth to those of a dead-tree company like Gannett and a low-margin grocer like Safeway?!? C'mon. This is a company with a killer brand name competing in the fastest-growing medium in history . Surely that kind of potential deserves some kind of premium. For instance, can anyone with the market cap of Yahoo! match its 211 percent one-year revenue growth rate ? Not according to Hoover's -- Yahoo! is without competition in that battle. And what about the company's long-term operating margin target of 35 percent , which Yahoo expects to hit next year?!? There can't be too many companies Yahoo!'s size that have experienced 35 percent operating margins in the past year, right? Actually, Hoover's says there were 28 that fit that bill, but all save one are financial giants. The lone exception: Microsoft (MSFT). So, is Yahoo! too rich? For me, absolutely, but I'm living on a journalist's wage. You try buying 100 shares of Yahoo! on that kind of salary." ---------------------------------------------- TSIG's marketing strategy and business plan provide it with incredible growth opportunities, though not necessarily as grand as Yahoo's. Look back at these too recent posts for a better understanding and remain lurking, at least, until I tell you why and how the MusicCard will blow you and your concerns away.Message 6516281 Message 6517307 Message 6517691 ztect
