Thanks. As usual, you have figured out the flaws in the analogy. I just couldn't put my finger on the detail of why the analogy was not holding well... Buying the house to live in - yes, i agree. But people sometimes buy timeshare, or a holiday home - even internationally. Anyway. Not really valid. YHOO may not be at par with MSFT, but as a fledgling, was MSFT at par with IBM ? It never is so easy, we can only hope and guess the future potential, and that is why valuation models don't hold in instances of paradigm shift. But thats more yada yada on the same subject. One thing for sure - when YHOO Has grown to its full potential, valuation will be justified. It has to be. here we agree.
