EGRP v.s. AMZN v.s. YHOO v.s. EBAY I have devised a new way of valuing these companies. It's called price to gross profit per share of most recent quarter. First, the gross profit of the most recent quarter is divided by the # shares. Then the price is divided by the result. Here it is: EGRP = 98 AMZN = 338 EBAY = 578 YHOO = 605 I like this method better than price to sales because each company have different business models. Price to earnings is meaningless. Price to cash flow should be adjusted for marketing costs.
