Between AMZN and YHOO, which one do yu think with trade in single digits first? I think Yhoo just might win in the "race to the bottom".

>>>YHOO in hindsight looks stupid after AOL/Time Warner merger <<< Yes, I have to admit that Steve Case was right. I was an AOL investor when they announced the merger and I took a big hit. I was quite pissed with Case then, but in hindsight, he was right. --Olu E.

<<Now the hunter becomes the hunted... >> Well maybe not, with that preferred option poison pill. It seems the yahoo managment is a bunch of egotistical ba%st@rds who care nothing about the shareholders. They put that poison pill through knowing they would make the earnings warning a couple of days later.

>YHOO in hindsight looks stupid after AOL/Time Warner merger. I have mixed feelings about this. It made a lot of sense to exchange over-valued stock for hard assets, although there was nothing to stop astute shareholders from doing this for themselves. OTOH I think AOL/Time Warner is so large and diverse as to be unrunnable as a business. Time Warner never created a whole lot of value for the stockholder and I think the new company will probably do even worse. P/s on AOL is 16 and p/s on Disney is 2.5. This suggests to me that AOL has a lot of room to fall. YHOO's asset is they provide a good service to a lot of people and they have a great brand. Their problem is that they don't get paid for it. If they could find a way to charge a modest fee to their users then they could do very well.
