<< To borrow one of Peter Lynch's analogies, at that earnings rate it would take more than 1500 years for Yahoo! to be able to buy back all of their shares. >> Don't think Peter Lynch ever said that! P/E is(or should be) a function of growth rate(not just the "earnings rate"). To illlustrate my point, MSFT's P/E has been around 50 since whenever, and they could easily have bought their shares at any time in less than ohhh 8 years(even NOW!). btw: Have serious doubts that King Arthur ever united Britain. You should read "Yankee in King Arthur's court" by Mark Twain to see what it really was like :) THE BOSS
