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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
