I have been doing exactly that. Yahoo is reliant on advertising which is cyclical. There is nothing to suggest that online advertising is effective and nothing to suggest that this is an area with growth potential even when the rest of the advertising dependent business returns to other mediums. A change in business model is needed for Yahoo and they acknowledge this, but this is also very, very risky. At an estimated 8 cents, you would have to pay over 200 times NEXT years earnings for a company with no proven ability to grow and a business model that is proving to be a failure. It is a $2 or $3 dollar stock.
