Figures....hmmmm

I love these figures…..
ALL Internet companies…..for the most part…..are all HYPE. Look at amazon, they make….only a few bucks a year….but are worth 500 million or something….THAT is nuts. EBay…psha… Get something like yahoo.com ….worth few billion, where does the money come from? Investors thinking in the FUTURE [no so certain in the computer world] that it will be worth more. Thinking of the next AOL/MS/Ebay or something……
