>Tom W and others..is it politically correct to make comparisons to Yahoo and General motors? Its a very poor comparison. Yahoo should be compared to the Media companies.

Don't forget that because of GM's large inventory costs/capital investments, there will be very little threat of other companies coming into the market - i.e. competition. Yahoo, on the other hand, would be very easy to replicate. The royalties that Yahoo will get 5 years from now will not come close to providing a decent P/E ratio at current prices. Your reference to Warren Buffet did not go unnoticed. I wonder how many shares of Yahoo he owns. I have a feeling I could count them on less than one hand. Tom W.
