Gore could be in much better position if the stock market not being down.. The really funny story about last fall is that AG prevented Bush Sr. from getting elected after the Gulf War. His popularity was riding high and AG decided to start raising interest right during the election. AG even raised rates, over extreme protests from Bush Sr, just before people went to the polls. Needless to say, the economy was crashing and Bush lost. Had they stayed out of the market things might have been better. ************************** On to Yahoo: I don't know what they are going to do but I sure hope they get bought by somebody like MSFT. Disney might be good because of its content but MSFT has more muscle. I think once the court case is over MSFT will make some merger moves. I think it is a shame that YHOO grew all this time and never teamed up with another big player. There were lots of players available: AMZN, EBAY, DIS, ATHM/T, etc. No wonder they want a new CEO. Hopefully the new guy will be a deal maker and not a "I-can-do-it-all-by-myself" mindset.
