Four Dying Silicon Valley Companies

YHOO is a great company. Profitable, debt free ( I believe) and it went through a period of horrible leadership and decisions - and it's still here, profitable and debt free. They can turn that baby around no problem and monetize things better. Heck, they would probably instantly make a few hundred million (or a few billion) more if they just created a better "adsense" style system so webmasters around the world could choose whether to put Yahoo ads or google ads on their own blogs and websites... They had a program going (maybe they still have it?) but it was in beta and only for US publishers...

Regardless, Yahoo has great sites that are extremely sticky. Yahoo was the first real search engine (in my opinion) that was good on the Internet. I've used it for almost a decade and I still go back to it. Do I use Yahoo search? Yup. I also use google. But I love Yahoo's news on the front page and their finance site is awesome... They have so many things going for them... To say they are a dying company is ridiculous. Dying companies aren't profitable and debt free... yes, they made errors and made less profit - but they still made money.
