To even think of calling AMZN, SEEK, YHOO, even AOL, "blue chips" in the same league as MSFT is silly. AMZN has never seen a profitable quarter, YHOO just a couple of them, and AOL is trading at 300+ PE. MSFT is a real company, with huge profits, market leadership (in markets with high barriers to entry). The other stocks you mention get a lot of attention and speculation, but are definitely not "blue chip" securities.

An interesting problem with the portal companies having incredible valuations--it makes them to expensive to be candidates for acquisition. It may actually be in the interest of their core shareholders to drive the price down. Any thoughts?
