Best Stocks for 2009

How easily that we accept the recommendations in regard to which stocks to buy from Forbes, Motley Fool, Jubak, and others. Why not have a SEC regulation that forces financial advisers to show past performance records on prior stock recommendations?

Otherwise, my life experience of exposure to these folks tell me that they are overpaid fortune tellers.

On Yahoo/ Microsoft: Jerry Yang Should Be Fired

Not very well handled by both sides. Certainly a deal could have been struck at a the $33-34 price range. Yahoo!'s high for the year was $34.08. The $33 was very close to the 52 week high. What a charade we all went through for three months. Now, the big stock price slide. I am sure many huge funds may dump these shares in disgust.
