Can people please stop comparing the P/E of GOOG, YHOO, and BIDU.
YHOO has an offer to be bought out at 31/share otherwise YHOO would be
around 16 which would give it a P/E of 34.
GOOG has a market cap of 142 and the market cap of BIDU is 8 billion
so they obviously BIDU obviously has a lot more room to grow.  Plus if
you look back in the IPO days of GOOG they had a P/E around 100.
YHOO P/E is only higher because they have a offer on the table, BIDU
because they have a ton of uncapatilized market share.
