They are constantly going down and most of their services sucks. Do you know that if you have a domain by yahoo you have to pay 34$ renewal fee. This new fee is since July 1, 2008.
Yahoo is NOT improving. Yahoo top level people are leaving, they were close to being bought out... Don't.
Hell no dude. Just look at how horrible their management is, and look at the buyout that might occur. Try investing in healthcare! It's recession proof.
I would buy them...you never know nowadays what will happen with the market as it is and how the internet changes daily so you never know...but id buy them if I were you =) I own 1 share of yahoo stock... join the crowd
I'd definitely buy Yahoo stock. Hell, 7B a year in revenue isn't that bad. They got no debts. I would say their search is going to improve quite a bit. LOL I mean upping a domain renewal price to $34 is not really much of a reason to not buy Yahoo. If you have a valuable name, wouldn't you rather pay $35 and have the peace of mind that nothing's going to happen to it or would you rather try to save every penny and go thru what Register Fly customers went thru.
Yah but yahoo could be doing better...i think as the market gets better yahoo will have the biggest improvement and you will see change...
I don't know why anyone would want to buy Yahoo stock, everyone knows that company is making some really stupid business decisions, it's run by a bunch of drunk monkeys. Also take a look at some of their statistics and financials. Their revenue has been increasing every year, but their profits have been falling since 2005. Insiders have only sold shares in the past few months, which is not a good sign. Their P/E ratio is a bit high, indicating the stock may be overpriced, and the PEG ratio is also a bit high giving an even stronger indication of an inflated price even with the huge pullback the stock has experienced. They don't pay a dividend, so if the stock either drops or goes sideways you make no money. The only thing I like about them is they have $3.07 billion in cash and no debt. If Yahoo was well run then I might seriously think about buying some stock in them. But they aren't. The stock is currently at $19.80 a share, and the bid price for them from Microsoft is $31. I think the deal has an okay chance of going through and if it did that would result in a nice return on investment But even if it did go through it would take upto a year before you saw any of that money. Microsoft only has $21.17 billion of the $44.6 billion dollars the deal is for. Which means that it has to borrow the remaining $23.43 billion which will take a long time for the banks to gather together. Big deals like these take a long time to go through and for any money to be paid out. The only potential to this stock is if the deal goes through. And that's a big if. There are so many better places to put your money in the stock market right now. Even if the deal happens there are many stocks out there that will make you more money. It's your money so it's upto you, but personally there's no way I'd ever put my money in Yahoo.
You know what I will topple Microsofts offer and offer Yahoo 40$ per share =p for all there shares...
Yahoo is fighting against the tide in the battle of online ads. They simply do not have enough market share in this aspect and are forced into a collaboration with Google to stave off Microsoft's interest. Even then, this collaboration is subject to anti-trust regulations. By the way, their last earnings report was a disappointment.
Yahoo shares are retracing their path to where it was before Microsoft announced their takeover. It is currently less than $20. I do not see any reason to buy into it given that the current board is extremely hostile to a Microsoft take over and Google-Yahoo alliance will face daunting challenges by the anti trust authorities. It has a good portal but its other attempts at leveraging on the popularity of their portal seemed to be not too successful. I won't touch it even at $18.
Yahoo is about to fall apart. You can see all the signs. For example charging $35 for renewing an existing domain! You are too late to buy those shares now, its time to sell them now. Just my 2 cents
If you're going to invest in either Yahoo or Google, then Google is definitely the way to go. But I think there is so many better stocks to own than Google.
