<p>"I don't think you understand how big Softbank is. It used to own almost the entire internet industry and the entire NASDAQ in Japan."</p>

<p>That is the dumbest statement ever. NASDAQ = National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System. It is AMERICA's automated stock trading system. How the hell can Moresushi own AMERICA's trading system in Japan? </p>

<p>Yeah, he probably owns Japan's FBI and CIA department too.</p>

22

<p>NASDAQ Japan is a subsidiary of NASDAQ. It was started as a joint venture between NASDAQ and Softbank Inc. </p>

<p>Are you white and do you live in the Midwest? Wisconsin perhaps?</p>

23

<p>Who gives a crap about the violent war mongering fish eater's economy anyway. You didn't answer my previous post.</p>

24

<p>Damn.</p>

<p>I feel almost sorry for you. Losing in every single argument like that.</p>

25

<p>Skirting the question?</p>

<p>Tell me why Yahoo! is worth so much more than Moresushi's Softbank? The answer is "easy peasey Japaneasy." (That is my favorite line from Shawshank Redemption...one of the best movies ever!)</p>

<br>

<p>Damn. Is it that frustrating to be white that you have to call non whites such racist names all the time? </p>

<p>Don't you even feel sorry for what happened to Blacks, Mexicans, Native Americans? Jeez. Millions of them were exterminated, in mass genocide killings that put the Holocaust in Germany to shame.</p>

27

<p>Oh and what about the 19 million Chinese and millions of other Asians the Japanese cruelly murdered in WWII? Only white people commit genocides now?</p>

28

<p>Dude, Im not Chinese or Japanese. Friggin babo man.</p>

29

<p>What are you, Korean?</p>

30

<p>No. Im Hmong. And I'm originally from Wisconsin. I grew up in an orphanage because my parents died fighting for the US and the CIA in Cambodia. I got lucky when the US let my uncle in and he brought me as well.</p>

31

<p>Didin't your kind shoot up like 10 white hunters in a row in Wisconsin? LOL Kudos!</p>

32

<p>He was shot at first supposedly. Hmong are peaceful people. We do not start trouble for no reason. I think it was the racist US media that is to blame. </p>

<p>If it wasn't for the racist US media that told the hunters to be racist and shoot at Asians, none of this would have happened.</p>

33

<p>I agree with you on this one actually. Damn i wanted to argue some more.</p>

<p>Let's change it to this one then. Why does Berkeley suck so much compared to Stanford. Also, why do I feel so good that he shot and killed racist white hunters who shot at him first?</p>

34

<p>OK, Berkeley is a better school. Obviously. Stanfurd used to be a farm school, and actually was much much lower ranked in the 70's. Also for Asian Americans, Berkeley is simply paradise in its diversity and campus leadership opportunities compared to Stanfurd. But anyways, I digress. </p>

<p>I guess its because you experienced a lot of racism in your life as an Asian American. I suppose you felt some anger release knowing that an Asian who felt that similiar type of racism, and was shot at first, got the final word. And perhaps you are hoping that this incident will quell further incidents of racism in your life. </p>

<p>Also, its because a kerry supporter killed 6 bush supporters. That could be it also.</p>

35

<p>HAHA I like that analysis. Completely agree with the second part, but your first paragraph was retarded. It should have been: OK, Stanford is a better school. Obviously. Berkeley used to be a bankrupt private college called California, and actually progressively lost it's rank since the 70s. Also for Asian Americans, Stanford is simply paradise in its diversity and campus leadership opportunities compared to Berkeley as evidenced by people like Jerry Yang and I.</p>

36

<p>Jerry yang is one person</p>

<p>Mayasoshi Son > Jerry Yang.</p>

<p>John Cho, Will Yun Lee, Gene Kan, Norman Mineta. All of these people are Asian americans from UC Berkeley. There is a reason why they succeeded, whereas Stanfurd Asians fail. Its all in the head. =)</p>

37

<p>Jerry Yang >>>> Moresushi because Yang can buy out Moresushi any time he wants. Yang's assets are thousands of times greater. Yahoo! is nearly bigger than McDonalds and Nike combined! Softbank is NASDAQ's bicth. </p>

<p>Jerry Yang + Me >>>>>>> the world</p>

38

<br>


<br>

<p>Lay off the acid. </p>

<p>^^ Yahoo's net income is like 237 million in fiscal 2003. The year before that it was a paltry 40 million. Softbank had net income of 1 BILLION this year alone. And it was a bad year for Softbank while it was a good year for Yahoo.</p>

<p>Also Mayasoshi Son owns a much larger percentage of Softbank than Jerry Yang owns of Yahoo. Once again, Softbank used to own a greater percentage of Yahoo than Jerry Yang did before Softbank liquidated its Yahoo holdings. I used to be an tech investment banker. Yeah, my colleagues from Stanfurd did seem a little slower and obtuse back then. Anyways, I'm glad you did not break the stereotype I had of Stanfurd. =)</p>

39

<p>Yet you still ignore that Yahoo! is 54 billion, which is many many many times larger than Softbank. Also, Jerry Yang FOUNDED the company that grew to be bigger than Nike and McDonalds combined. Did Moresushi found Softbank from the ground up or was he just hired as the CEO. Big difference my friend.</p>

<p>If Softbank is making so much more income than Yahoo!, which is a ludicrous thought, that either they are squandering their money down the drain or they are cooking the books. How else can Yahoo! be worth so much more if it's income is substantially lower?</p>

<br>

<p>Man, wut do you want? A free lesson in equity valuation? If you were a Bear, maybe, but u go to Stanfurd. </p>

<p>Anyways, Softbank used to own over 30% of Yahoo. </p>

<p>In 1996 when Softbank made a mezzanine round financing of Yahoo, Softbank's worldwide revenues of over 1.2 Trillion Dollars. </p>

<p>You can read there about how Stanfurd Asian begged a Berkeley Asian for money and proper valuations. </p>

Softbank Corporation was a large Japanese holding company formed in 1981 by Masayoshi Son. The son of Korean immigrants, he moved to the United States in 1973 to study English. Son graduated from the University of California at Berkley in 1980 with a B.A. in Economics. After graduation, Son decided to move back to Japan where he started Softbank. Softbank started out selling various computer products, and soon became the largest distributor of packaged software and personal computer peripherals in Japan. Son quickly expanded his holdings, and in 1988 Softbank formed its first non-Japanese subsidiary, Softbank America. In 1990, Softbank formed a joint venture with Novell Inc, forming Novell Japan. This led to subsequent investments with companies such as Canon, Fujitsu, NEC, Sony and Toshiba. In 1994, Softbank embarked on a joint venture with Cisco along with 12 other Japanese firms, to form Nihon Cisco Systems. Later that year Softbank went public, listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. By 1996, Softbank had made significant investments into the world of multimedia, purchasing a majority share in the Ziff-Davis Publishing Company and by acquiring COMDEX and several other companies. Softbank reported worldwide revenues of over 171 trillion yen for FY 1995.

<p>So anyways, as you can see, Yahoo used to be one of Softbank's many wives and concubines. Yes, Jerry Yang used to be Mayasoshi Son's 10th Bitch and Concubine. </p>

<p>So since the most successful Stanfurd Asian in business used to be the 10th bitch in line for Berkeley's most successful Asian in business, I can totally understand why you have such difficulty understanding valuation methodologies of a pre IPO non profitable internet company. I mean jeez, at least Jerry Yang could have been the top dicksucker in Line for Mayasoshi, but NOOOO he had to be number 10 dicksucker in Line. Oh wells, I guess you get what you pay for.</p>
