Happy-girl, help me What are pointers? What do you mean that the post was brief? The info is from the 10-Qs for the second and third quarters filed with the SEC. Trust me. I think the main difference is probably the e-trade advertising which you see everywhere on Yahoo. As you may know, Softbank bought 25% of that company for $400mm a few months ago. In turn, e-trade gave about $5 million to Yahoo in the quarter. This helped them "beat estimates". Although the prices charged were arms' length, one must question the motivations. This is what I mean by a ponzi scheme. They can only support Yahoo so long before it becomes a problem.
