So you're saying that now there's a new company that is composed of companies(TMCS,At home shopping,lycos) and because one of them is not an internet stock the street is evaluating the combination as a non-internet stock. Also you're saying that if I sell you a company called x that makes x amount of dollars, and you combine it with a couple other companies, y and z that make consecutively y and z amount of dollars, which together you call the the xyz company, then you're saying that because I sold you company x(lycos) at such a low premium, company y(ticketmaster) is suddenly worth less, regardless of it's revenue,eps, p/e etc..
