Sorry Guru, I am yet to get used to some things which Americans take for granted. One of them is on-line SEC reports. My info has always come from company reports - a hard copy delivered to my doorstep. SweetPete has, however, enlightened me about these great sources of information....! I am also trying desperately hard to understand the myraid of relationships, ownerships and politics. That is the reason why my positions are not as long term as SweetPete's and I don't want to be pressurised into a SELL SELL SELL mode. You have to be very very patient with me ;) But to get back to your question, are you saying just because etrade advertises on YHOO, that YHOO's revenue potential is questionable ? I think I re-posted an article earlier which mentioned just how many clients YHOO has. I forget the exact number but wasn't it much more ? ETrade is not the only one which advertises...nor is it the only broker to advertise. Do you have reasons to be concerned ? My request for pointers was meant to ask you for some place where i can find what 1% and 8% revenue breakup was. can't be only from etrade - can it ? Have you tried discounting this 8% and then comparing with the competition ? 8% does not seem like an awfully large %age to me, but it may give them a headstart. If it was 25%, I'd be nervous, if it was 35% I'd be verry nervous. I'll wait for your answer.
