    a little more research would have offered the amount of debt that these companies have in relation to their cash position. that makes a ton of difference.

    i only follow one company on your list and their debt is zero.

    Web Ad Revs Up 15.2% in First Half [view article]
    The first half looked like we might have seen a leveling off with a possible uptrend... The market has tanked since then and aside from a probable bounce will likely continue to drop along with the economy. Is it likely that web-ads will continue to grow?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
