For those that do not know, if you had Yahoo stock years ago, you would be a millionaire today.
My brothers boss, about 3 jobs back, made his millions when he sold his Yahoo stock, which at the time was near $300.00.
Right now, Google is at just over $300.00 a share, (like $318.00 early in the week). Yahoo is at $11.61 a share as of today. If Yahoo gets back on their feet, (and I truly believe they will if MS leaves them alone), then they will be gold again.
The Google search engine is superior, but Yahoo has tons of other services including business setups, which Lionheart Creations is in (started and presently running in).
During a forced possible buyout, Microsoft attempted to buy them out. I was talking with the gentleman that I purchased my used car from and he agrees that the low stock values at Yahoo are possibly from MS causing it to be at a low, using their huge monitary resources to bring the values down and starve out the firm into folding and being able to be bought out, which I pray to God does not happen. If MS cant even make a good OS these days, I hope they dont mess up Yahoo also.. (Im sorry, forgive me..)
If this person knows of a way to save the company, and can make back 100X what her payroll is, then all the more power to her. But... well.. Time will tell.
My advice, if you can find out data to secure Yahoo's future (no wierd goings on about a takeover from vista), then I would buy stock in Yahoo....
