On the face of it, that's a lot of money for a company which lost $16.4m last year on revenues of $22m. But of course Yahoo! wasn't paying in real money. It was handing over its own shares, trading at 1,634 times earnings. >> Isn't this exactly what P-2 and the Banco Ambrosiano were doing in Italy 20 years ago? Seems Roberto Calvi was buying up other banks with shares of his own bank HUGELY inflated in price, and then it was illegal. He was called to the carpet and went on the run and committed "suicide" in England (ahem), anyway, why is this okay now?
