YHOO stock tanking...

[Shazz]

Earnings was the same as what the street was expected but people expected some type of growth for the future of yahoo which they didn't see? They have extra money thats not being spent to improve anything :confused:

There going below $19 for sure, ebay after hours was down to, thats not looking good for techs tommorow.

[xoticpt]

all stocks seem to be tanking... i'm down over $100K on google alone...

[Amirmullick3]

I agree, all stocks are tanking, and it started mostly when oil probs came up and the assassination....

[mhmdkhamis]

i hope can use yahoo to my site becouse it not allow out of america

[Kagato]

Well it means that they will eventually go back up :)

Most drug stocks, retail, railroads, have done well with this bear market Finance is now doing good.

I own SIRI, NG, ORCL, AUY

I've got a decent amount in the market right now. But I've learned never to panic... Just let it ride out...

[ReadyToGo]

YHOO's yoy earnings was down 23% and they lowered their revenue projection for this year. The company is clearly struggling, so why are you surprised?

They don't have a growth future for there website. (even though you would think they would) They haven't spent any money on anything to improve :o

how's GOOG doing?

As a company there still strong, yahoos not

[Blogspotter]

Yahoo sure will come out with something new. I think it is a good time to buy Yahoo! They haven't done anything extraordinary in the past year or so, but we should remember that After Goog, Yahoo is still the undisputed Number Two New age media company, and they own a LOT of content. They will have to reinvent themselves though, and they still have the resource... Now Facebook is another story.

Finance is doing good? From the news i've heard Finance should be tanking worst of all.

[FPForum]

I agree I think now would be a good time to buy Yahoo. Buy it and hold it. They will come out with something new or some updates on their current content. When they do, their stocks will rise again

The problem with Yahoo isn't that they soley need something new or some updates, its that they need to do something to actively shore up their % of users, right now google is pickpocketing them. Then they need to start actively competing with google, taking their users.

That must be old news, the emergency rate cut boosted it, and the rate cut tommorow is going to boost it.

Thats what they said at 22 and 20 now below 19. Everyone is clueless as what to do

The loans they have given out over the past 10 years are flopping, I doubt it will stay good for long :/

Yes as of now :D
Just a big rebound, like E-Trade doubling its stock price

Didn't they spend a billion or close to it on panama search upgrade, which they told would increase revenue and profit of each click, but it hasn't and hence the stock keeps tanking. What they need to do is open up YPN to everyone. Also If the stock falls to around $15 I don't see how microsoft doesn't buy this company since they considered it at $30

Your the only person I can find on DP with the most accurate news. You listin and watch for the same things I do :D

If yahoo went around 15 or even below, heck I would even pull the trigger and buy it. But at that time I would say microsoft would have some discussions with yahoo for a some type of buyout. I don't see google doing it since I don't see how they would use yahoo.

All the other rest of the jokers on DP making threads on google buying them out :rolleyes:
Theres really no reason for anyone to buy yahoo right now. No one sees anything there.....

so coming from a new investor...How many shares would you buy with it at $15? Also, if MSN bought them out what do you think would happen to it? Also, the volume was up more than double its average in yesterdays trading day, are all these trades people buying or selling in your eyes? Sorry for the newb questions but as I said, I'm a beg. :)

I would see what kind of news is comming out from Yahoo, what is the street thinking what are the consumers thinking of the price $15. - People tend to follow both of those.

The huge volume were the sellers and short sellers that are comming. Buyers see nothing in Yahoo right now. Sure they got a good company its going to take a while for them to steadly build back up.

There was no official talk of Microsoft doing any business with Yahoo, just rummers since yahoo was in trouble. Microsoft does have the money for it IMO. I don't think that they will be bought out unless the worst of the news comes out. Yahoo shares would go back to 25-30 range of the buyout if that WAS to happen.

[wildfire07]

A split up and sale of Yahoo assets could benefit all of us that own Yahoo stock. They keep slipping every quarter due to inept managment. Look how they screwed up the YPN area along with too many other failures. The company is just to slow in keeping up with the internet now. Its time is over I am afraid.

[gford]

Yahoo could really increase revenue if they got their fingers out of their A$$ and rolled out YPN to compete with Adsense. Google grosses 1 billion+ a quarter just on publisher websites using adsense. WAKE UP YAHOO.

[Shazz]

With volume at: 115,993,273
They still managed to stay right where there at, interesting.

If you read the Wall St Journal, read fortune, and business week and watch CNBC then yeah with get our information from the same place :D

Even if they do have discussion they are usually private. Also google wouldn't be able to buy yahoo not because they don't have them money but because government wouldn't let them. They would control about 80% of the search market.

Assuming that the ads would be targeted enough for people to click on them.

I agree; the Justice Department would probably see an antitrust issue.

Umm what assassination? Also who ever said Google cant buy yahoo is right, they would become a monopoly and be broken up by the government. Just as if Microsoft was to buy mac.

[joey112]

Yahoo really need to develop some better strategies and plans for 2008. That have stagnated in a fast changing market.

Probably talking about the Bhutto assassination.


MSFT + YAHOO news boosted things today.

[LinkBliss]

Yes, it would have been nice if MSFT told me they were going to make an offer on Yahoo.. I could have made a 50% return in one day!

With yahoo trading at $20 a share I'm surprised. They talked about buying them for $35-39 dollars a share about a year ago. At $31 its a steal for microsoft.

[Shazz]

Microsoft still benefits from it! Load up on MSFT as well

[thehotbusinesses@hotmail.]

Microsoft seems like a good stock right now, try to steer clear from to many individual stocks in this market though, I keeping my money in mutual funds and ETF's. Check out my sin fund report for more information on great stocks in unstable markets you'll be surprised how well companies in the tobacco and alcohol industry are doing.

[wisdomtool]

Tobacco stocks offer extremely high dividend pay outs, I guess they don't have much to invest anyway. May be attractive to some.

Did anyone see what YHHO closed at yesterday? They are up to almost $30/share now since the MSFT news was released...

Yahoo stock just went up $9 on Friday when Microsoft announced the takeover bid.

[Rich(eLief.com)]

They aren't 'trying' to, they are forcing a hostile takeover, Yahoo is going to have no choice but to sell.

[Shazz]

Wow people are still getting updated :rolleyes:

I should have bought some when it was $18 a share!!

$550 a share is way too high for Google.

[qwestcommunications]

You cannot say a stock is overvalued simply because its priced $550, it depends on the maket capitalization. You have to pay $100,000 for 1 Berkshire Hathway share, and some people still think its cheap.
