    Don't do it. Yahoo will be a thing of the past soon enough. I might reconsider if I had my finger on the pulse of the swaying market. Internet stocks CAN be a good investment.

    I wouldn't ask in a forums this type of question. There are a lot of opinionated idiots out there who will try and give advice appearing to be in the know but really are just trying to get a high post count. Im not insulting all the members here, im sure there are guys here who know plenty of useful information about investing but, I would seek more reliable advice and ignore most of what is given on forums, when it comes to this subject area.

    Right now it doesn't matter if lots of people use it, it's a very poorly run company. You never buy into a company that is run like Yahoo.

    Yahoo is far too incompetent to turn it around. They screw their advertisers at every turn, and PPC folks(including myself) ARE their business model. So I'm not sure wtf they've been thinking lately.

    That's not a bad idea, if you ask me. Yahoo is definitely worth more than the value it is trading at the moment. However I would wait for the next bottom and ride the waive from there.

    Don't buy Yahoo stocks... if you really want to buy a search engine's stock, go after Google. Yahoo is going to crash and burn some day... they were almost bought out, and they are trying to team up with Google, and once they do, Google will be laughing in triumph.

    Another genius piece of advice!

    Just find the bottom and ride the wave, just one problem - where is the bottom? Buying at the bottom works with ANY stock, you just have to figure out where the bottom is, which is nearly impossible.

    Microsoft is Yahoo's only chance. Without a takeover Yahoo's stock will be under $10 within 18 months. However, Gates & company will probably step in before it gets there...

    Then why don't you? Buying Yahoo stock is a major gamble, not an investment.

    I think Yahoo stocks are a great buy right now. The board was re-elected so mergers are not likely and I think shareholders believe the company is undervalued, which by indications is true. Yahoo needs to make better decisions with upgrades, acquisitions and the timing of revealing new services. Yahoo has an great service in an ever developing market with the most page views in the world. The stock will recover either by the companies improvements or by a merger down the road if that options is still open.

    Check out my blog post in the first sig about yahoo.

    No do not buy Yahoo's shares because at the moment Market is expecting Microsoft to buy Yahoo which is keeping its shares on high but when Market will loose hope Yahoo's share will fall upto 30% in couple of days. Yahoo is not doing particularly well, there earnings were less then expectations which can cause panic in the board and pressure to accept Microsoft's deal

    Sure! An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but we are discussing Yahoo stocks here. Wonder if you can keep to the topic? If you are so keen on Apple but not open another thread in the GC and give us your analysis on why Apple? I am certainly interested in technical analysis and otherwise that can lead me to a good buy.
