i am not talking of YHOO! as an investment, but the fact that something like 75% of Internet users use YAHOO as it 's portal to the internet. I, for one, consider it as having no equal as a portal site.
Their enhancements to their finance center have grown in leaps over the past year.
For a great number of internet users Yahoo! is it's center point.
If it fails it will magnify that in terms a profitablity for free public usage of the internet is a failure and also make surfing a drudgery for many, the aftermath of such a failure would draw into question the feasibility of the internet itself.

On top of that, TimeWarner is now calling into question whether AOL will ever succeeed as a vehicle for movies and sporting events etc. for pay.
In short the WHOLE early vision of the internet is now in severe question.
My suggestion is Google and Yahoo! merge and charge 10bucks a month ---it would be well worth it.
