ONSL, EBAY, AMZN, YHOO, AOL

Taken from yahoo message board:
messages.yahoo.com

source from quote.yahoo.com

ONSL at $36.438:
Mkt.cap.: $699.2M
Total sales: $181.8M
Sales/share: $9.62
Price/sales: 3.79

EBAY at $182.5:
Mkt.cap.: $7.35B
Total sales: $30.5M
Sales/share: $1.01
Price/sales: $179.98

AMZN at $188.5:
Mkt.cap.: $9.95B
Total sales: $423.1M
Sales/share: $8.87
Price/sales: 21.26

YHOO at $190.125:
Mkt.cap.: $18.8B
Total sales: $150.1M
Sales/share: $1.58
Price/sales: 120.41

AOL at $88:
Mkt.cap.: $40.3B
Total sales: $2.94B
Sales/share: $5.72
Price/sales: 15.39

When we talk about internet stock, focus on Price/Sales.
ONSL absolutely undevalued compare to EBAY, AMZN, YHOO, AOL.
All of inet stocks I put here are the leaders on each field:
ONSL : the leader on auction
EBAY : the leader on person to person
AMZN : the leader on books and CD online
YHOO : the leader on portal
AOL : the leader on provider

Always choose a leader for safety of your invesment.
Soon, the wallstreet boys will realize the big potential on ONSL and put it on their inet
portfolio.

How potential for the price?
If we use AOL price/sales, the lowest from the other except ONSL, we could see
$9.62x15.39 = $148
Always consider about company growth which ONSL is higher than AOL in the next 2-3
years.
So, I prefer to choose 40 for price/sales on ONSL and will check again after ONSL
announce their sales for current quarter. By 40 on price/sales I saw $384.8. Of course it
will not go directly from $37 to $384.8. Looks like we may hear stock split 3:1 after
passing $150 in the near future, possibly on early or mid of January.

Remember, many analyst predicted DOW could pass 10,000 on the first quarter of 1999.

Always do your DD.

Sorry, I posted what I found at Yahoo. I know that the site is still in beta testing, that it is toguether with Vertical Net. And that it will come out shortly. However, the companies are not saying anything else. Vertical Net filed their IPO on Nov 17th, but it has not been priced yet.
I won't post that type of info any longer.
