Bill -- lets see, yahoo is down 90% plus from its highest price and the consensus is for a profit of 8 cents next year, which would give yhoo a forward p/e of just under 200. Internet advertising seems to be a dying if not dead business model and they are trying to make a transition which is, at best, highly uncertain. Because the chances of making this transition are slim, they must do whatever they can to bolster their add revenue. Its a $2 stock that hopes to find a new way to make a living before people notice that it has lost its growth capacity. And, they laid off 400 people today. This is a company struggling to redefine itself before it is too late.
