Does anyone have an opinion on how the LYCOS quarterly results and the announced LYCOS stock split will impact on YHOO stock price ? Perhaps the good news for LYCOS will help energize the internet sector or at least related internet issues ? Thanks for your comments

If they wait until someone else proves they can make a profit it will be too late. Perhaps, but it would appear that significant growth in profits will take place over a long period of time. Some of the folks here speak of 5 to 10 years. If that is the case, competitors will have plenty of time to evaluate the potential for profit in this business. I also agree with you that Yahoo and others will make money on the net. They will make more than they are making now. My point being, why are you willing to pay $150 cash now for the opportunity to earn $1.00 per year a couple of years hence? Maybe? Or are your expectations for Yahoo in 2000 and 2001 greater than $1.00 per year? The analysts expect less. Dave
