    Who cares... YHOO is a dead man walking...now talking to another dead guy AOL.
    MSFT has no clue what strategy works...DIY, buy YHOO etc?

    So guess what, we already have a GOOG dominance....doesnt matter what this deal does or not.
    Buy GOOG and atleast benefit from this.     Reply

    Roger, Everybody hates PayPal, which is a bank but with none of the consumer/business safeguards of an FDIC real bank. Google's payment system will surpass it before long, and now Amazon has launched a competitor, too. Reply

    If a seller treated a customer like ebay treated you they'd be tarred & feathered, drawn & quartered, & run off to exile island or maybe even OLA! Reply

    Yahoo Fundamentals Deteriorating - Collins Stewart [view article]
    While Google certainly has the search edge I think that is a much too limited view of the GOOG v YHOO spectrum.

    I think it would be deceiving to place too much emphasis on search capabilities. Most browsers have a little search icon on the top right that you can search google with without needing to go to their home page. In terms of their other facets, YHOO is vastly superior - my yahoo! is much, much better than iGoogle, Yahoo!'s finance pages are much better, and Yahoo! has the edge in most other categories other than search. It is also easier to put a gadget for gmail on your my yahoo page than vice versa.

    The new google phone and android system, however, puts an entirely different spin on things and that is well beyond my scope. Since this article is about Yahoo!, I would ponder what Microsoft's plans would have been if it had acquired Yahoo!, and whether Yahoo can accomplish those things on its own.     Reply

    And konst...

    Still awaiting your examples of spec stocks that trade at low P/E mulitples and your "pro" analysis of SIRI's P/E from '05-'08. Hmmm. All us >>"kids who can't do basic math and focus on the f--cking share price"<< can't wait for your genius input. Thank you.     Reply

    ah yes, my mistake....god, Zayre. I remember those guys. They were the KMart of the 70's.

    Mergers can indeed be tricky. Obviously SIRI is in a whole other space than your example--unique--combi... original content, programming, entertainment, information, all wrapped up in a tech play and delivered to the masses. They have their work cut out but once the new entity is squared away, sky's the limit. Their sub base and content makes them powerful. Plenty of opportunity ahead for this company. Wall Street has proven their interest and confidence in the space, and the company, for a solid number of years ('04-'08). So it's not like they're starting from scratch. Mergers that fail or any company that fails is only as a result of one thing: BAD MANAGEMENT. Not the case here. SIRI's hit some headwinds, not of their own doing. FCC screwed 'em because of their allgience to NAB and now bad timing with the credit crunch...but SIRI will overcome despite, because they have GOOD MANAGEMENT. It means everything.     Reply

    Yahoo Fundamentals Deteriorating - Collins Stewart [view article]
    I believe that Collin ought to re-examine his belief system. . For searching I will continue to hang with Google--their ad technology underwrites part of my website. They've done search better than anyone so far. But for many other forms of news, information, and *fun*,-- and more --, Yahoo has it in spades. Reply

    EN FUEGO= on fire

    EN JUEGO= in play

    Mergers and buyouts are unpredictable just look back to the ZAYRE and AMES departments stores and neither company remains and stock holders lost everything.

    Thanks for the info on delisting and remaining alive in the stock arena sl62. PE numbers really do not mean a thing in the present day activity.

    163888................... have been right so far for the most part, {I threw in for the most part} to simply keep you from attaining a god-like status! lol. I would really like to see this stock make an honest unencumbered run. Seems like when the Big Blue Dog throws off a bunch of shackles, they sling double the amount back on. One of these days he's going to slip out from under all of them..................... then we'll see how fast that dog can move!!!!!!!!!!!! Nuthin but dust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... killer. Reply

    hernje, you ever heard of the first 2 times K-Mart went bankrupt it was actually bankruotcy protection the share holders kept their shares and the debt holders and distriputors had to bit the big one. You remember Chrysler, or most of the airlines. They all keep the old share holders, the fact is if a court finds that a company is better off staying in business then he will force debt holders to hold off and refinance the old debt. The judges purpose is to try and make as many people as whole as possible. If he finds that a company would be able to pay off its debt because the business model is still good and they just need more time then he gives it to them. The metrics of this company have already shown that they are starting to become stable. You honestly cant sit there and say that going from a negitive 300 million adjusted profit this year to a positive 300 million adjusted profit next year does not show this. I dont believe even if what you talk about comes true that there is a judge out, that would not give the company with improving mertrics like that more time. The proof is K-Mart if they were willing to give that company more time twice before then he would do it for SIRIXM. (NOTE: when K-Mart filed for the third time the share holders then lost all there shares) Reply

    Time last year that gold mines were trading at a p/e ratio of over 60. Now thats FORWARD THINKING. Book value says the stock should be like 4-6, and it was trading at 18. And its not a spec stock, its a growth stock, LARGE CAP, LOL LOL LOL
    I can give you a million examples of P/E ratios being a joke. They are SOOOOOO varied, there is no way to go by that. Depends on the perception of their forward value. A company going bankrupt should trade wwaaayyy below book value, after all, its going bankrupt right. Yet by your own logic you proof that is actually trading above its book value for YEARS. So now all of a sudden this stock has to follow rules? Its never been FURTHER from bankrupcy than today, fool.     Reply
