    Yahoo vs. Tech Stocks: Sad Snapshot [view article]
    Yahoo shareholders could have easily sold their shares in the mid twenties March through June and if they still believe in the fundamentals of the company they could be buying back twice as many shares now.

    But that would have involved abandoning Buy and Hold and using some simple technical analysis.

    Don't forget - its where you sell that determines the outcome of your investments. Buy and Hold has returned less than zero over the last ten years. That applies to the Dow Industrials and also to Yahoo which was trading above $28 ten years ago in November of '98.

    If you are "Seeking Alpha" try spending more time working on exits. That's where the Aplpha is hiding. Buy and Hold is not just dying, its already dead.     Reply

    Check your facts, update your story, MSFT sliding BIG TIME. Why this didn't happen years ago is amazing, but the CW things MS will rule forever just because they are a completely unrestrained monopoly. That would be the case if they could make decent products, but they are getting trounced in every category except their Office and Outlook software (which no one likes and which still can do the most some of the basic things).

    Yahoo will be fine long term if drastic changes are made to restore investor confidence. Turning down $31 a share and then $33 a share and then having the stock go to $13.00 - wow is all I can say.

    Jerry Yang needs to be fired for cause and resign from the board and any golden parachute be withheld. I am contemplating suing the board of directors for breaching their fiduciary duty to me as a shareholder. They should have accepted the deal or in the very least allowed the issue to be voted on by the shareholders.     Reply

    I gotta believe that Balmer is licking his chops and Yang at this point would want to find a face-saving solution that would help Yahoo before it goes under $10. He can blame Yahoo's recent woes (and lack of an effective gameplan) on the recent severe downturn in the economy and maybe agree to a $22 deal now. Reply

    yahoo had their chance with microsoft to make a real nice but jerry ying-yang decided yahoo was worth much more when actually it was a toss up as to what was more inflated, yahoo stock prices or his ego. i wouldn't be a bit surprised if microsoft isn't waiting to buy yahoo at a fire sale price. it's too bad really because i like yahoo and now yahoo stock is in the dumper. at the rate they are dropping who knows how long they will last.

    the Asian assets they have should not be overlooked - it may turn out to be their failsafe as the rest of the modern world tightens Reply

    The slowdown might be a blessing in disguise as ads migrate more towards media that can measure their impact like the Web.
    And with YHOO & MSFT having no traction on the Web,GOOG might be sitting pretty here as they are king of metrics.
    It's cheap here at $340... Buy now with little risk and lots of upside.     Reply

    YHOO is circling the drain. Unless there are some drastic actions like layoffs and/or selling of assets, this company is doomed.
    The economy seems to be braking hard and its tough to see any growth for the next 2 years.
    Best to be short YHOO and long GOOG on a relative basis.     Reply

    Eric,

    Google's stock price does not reflect its fundamentals. The management should do something e.g. a buy back or preannouncement like ibm did last night.

    Do you know what takes GOOG to preannounce their Q3 results? CEO said in late Sept that "business is as usual even though there is drama on wall street".     Reply

    Yep, Yang and Yahoo sure showed Microsoft a thing or two. Perhaps a new word is warranted in investor lexicon for rich takeovers scuppered 'on principle'. The deal has been "Yanged" - meaning, shareholder value has been flushed down the toilet because the acquiring company wasn't 'cool' enough. In a horrible way, its fascinating to watch this stock. If and when will it fall below $10...? I'm sure Bill Miller is wishing he'd understood the stubbornness and strategic myopia of Y! before he plunked down his investors hard earned bucks on this veritable Web 1.0 citrus fruit. Reply

    Yahoo shouldn't be concerned about their shrinking ad dollars, thats the least of their financial problems, they should be more concerned with the way their employees have been acting on the yahoo internet sites, harassing individuals, hooking personal computers up to their servers on the Remote Management Tool, deleting personal and business emails at will, disrupting users navigation of the internet, posting color photos of beastiality on the official yahoo internet site Y/A 360 that small children can easily view while surfing the "friendly yahoo internet sites", and committing a whole host of criminal acts against people, including placing spyware on their computers, sending dangerous viru's over the internet to cause certain peroples PC's to crash and also preventing downloads of anti-virus and anti-spyware programs. There is no difference between yahoo and the Chinese Communists, none. Reply
