I was surprised to see that MSFT has a market cap of 466, AOL is 145, so if it triples it will get pretty close to it and if in that process it splits twice then it would have more shares (just a guess I didn't do the math) outstanding!?, MSFT has a much more sustainable P.E, how much revenue and earnings would AOL have to generate, let's say to get to a more reasonable P.E of ~200 in about a couple of years? Obviously the investors are rewarding the INET stocks with astronomical P.E's in anticipation of explosive growth, substantiated by earnings, is there a model which can show how AOL will grow it's earnings over a projected period of time to justify its current valuation, which will supposedly find a firm foundation in due course of time? Usimg GE as a limiting market cap, MSFT is already past it and so how far can we go?
