Uber’s $18.2B Valuation Is a Head Scratcher

Valuations are &quot;stretched&quot; for a number of stocks. These things are cyclical and always work themselves out.<p>IMO nothing compares with Facebook buying $30 m&#x2F;yr revenue company WhatsApp for $19 billion. That will probably be the high water mark for this boom&#x2F;bust cycle. Much like AOL buying Time Warner for $164 billion marked the peak of the 2000 dotcom era.

Even stranger when you consider that the Taxi AND Limo business is collectively an $11B&#x2F;year business.<p><a href="http://www.ibisworld.com/industry/default.aspx?indid=1951" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ibisworld.com&#x2F;industry&#x2F;default.aspx?indid=1951</a><p>So if this isn&#x27;t bubbly stuff, Investors must at least be extremely bullish on Uber increasing its market share.

Now we need a &quot;P2P Taxi Meter&quot; for drivers and a &quot;Kayak for P2P Rides&quot; for passengers.
