Is Yahoo Back in Hot Water
Excerpt from the InvestorGuide.com Stock of the Day on 11/6/2008

Just this week, Google(GOOG: Charts, News, Offers) officially walked away from an online ad agreement that initially saved Yahoo from being acquired by Microsoft (MSFT: Charts, News, Offers). The search ad deal convinced Yahoo shareholders that being acquired by Microsoft for $33/share was too low a price. As you may recall, Yahoo felt that they were worth $38/share. Now we are in the midst of a Yahoo storm again, as Yahoo is trading for about $14/share and the tech giant looks around for opportunities again. What opportunities are we talking about? Why did Google walk away? Should Microsoft try to come back to the table? And what will Yahoo do now? More >

Excerpt from the InvestorGuide.com Stock of the Day on 4/7/2008

How might Yahoo respond to this unwelcome news, and how likely is it that a merger of these two powerful companies might become a reality? More >

This weekend, the rumors began. Several companies, such as Sprint Nextel (S: Charts, News, Offers), have been forced to announce employee layoffs recently, due to poor performance or the struggling economy. Yahoo is now reported to be the next company to undergo some large-scale layoffs, and although any specific details have yet to be officially confirmed by Yahoo, it seems very believable. At this point, analysts are assuming it is the truth, after the news was reported not just on various online rumor sites but also in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. As with all rumors, though, the facts are a little fuzzy. What might be Yahoo's next step, and why the sudden news of layoffs when, as of last quarter, things seemed to be going smoothly? More >
