It might affect Yahoo's stock price short term. But long term it is an excellent aquisition. It transitions Yahoo into the next generation portal adding audio/video offerings to their existing set of services. Also opens up new revenue streams I am sure. Sure Yahoo might go down to 150 tomorrow (though I doubt it) but over the long haul this one is a keeper just like AOL and AMZN. Buy the shares now and hold it for 5 years and maybe you can retire to the Carribean after that. Thanks Anindo

Because they paid $4+ B for assets that cost $100 M. Really? What about the pre-aggregated eyeballs, all of whom have at least a taste for streaming content, and most of which have the technical know-how and a decent computer to get it working? Randy

On a related topic (acquisition chgs) this is an interesting post someone sent me on another thread. It implies the "pooling of interest" accounting for acquisitions could be disallowed in the future. I wonder what that will do to the acquisition frenzy we are seeing in inet stocks.... I'd hate to see the yhoo/bcst deal without pooling of interests. Message 8639559 Michelle
