    So Yahoo! might be buying ValueClick? I didn't realize they had that much money.

    I thought it was only on their Web Clients unit. It's expanded into CJ?

    Yahoo! have a potentially massive war chest for acquisitions as and when they find their nerve. The stockmarket has been waiting to fund expansion for some time.

    They have been left behind by Google in recent times, but that may be about to change.

    Seems interesting. Yahoo is a very popular site so if they have not got much money then I don't know how that has happened. They definately need to expand and start competiting with Google.

    Yahoo! have masses of cash available to spend as and when required.

    While the search engine companies spend a fortune on research and development, do not forget that their business lines are all very cash generative when up and running.

    The more traffic they direct to these income streams, it all flows down to the bottom line because costs are generally fixed.
