Shafik Habal, " AOL+YHOO" rumor. This is one of the main reasons I jumped in YHOO today after stalking for the past week ( plus more AOL, <g>). It will be a powerhouse. Plus the addition to the S&P. Nobody knows were the bottom is. At these stages you fly by the seat of your pants. Better to buy on your way down. Internets have a bad habit <G> of gaping up at the open. I am not worried one bit about AT&T Broad band. My son, a CS major just got rid of Media One and will get ADSL via local Bell. When he tried Media One it was slow because there were too many people on the line. Remember, only 500,000 people have two way cable. 90% of people in USA have TV cable but it is one way. AOL has 20 mill eyeballs. If you count ICQ, Compuserve etc. you are 50 mill. Two way cable is being rolled out at snail's speed. TA You said:Yahoo to Announce AOL Pact (rumor source: streetq.com StreetQ has learned from sources that Internet portal, Yahoo! (YHOO), is currently in talks with America Online (AOL) about a possible portal pact. Under terms of the agreement, Yahoo! would be featured in highly trafficked areas of AOL's online service and be made the official search engine of America Online. Furthermore, the Yahoo! directory would be made the official directory of Netscape's NetCenter site, whose directory is currently powered by Excite. In return, Yahoo! would cross market America Online's Internet access services. Given the current state of Yahoo!'s tumultuous relationship with AT&T (T), whose WorldNet service is being marketed by Yahoo!, it is not unlikely that Yahoo! is seeking to disalign itself from the Excite-AtHome-AT&T Axis formed by the three companies two months ago. Yahoo! closed at $151 1/2 on Thursday, AOL ended the day at $129 1/2, while AT&T closed at $59 1/4.
