    Steve Ballmer: Time To Come Back to Yahoo [view article]
    Yahoo is a solid company with an outstanding executive team. There is no reason for them to sell the company. Icahn is looking to be in the spotlight at the investors expense. Go buy Starbucks, their stock is tanking as we speak. Reply

    Waiting Impatiently for a New Yahoo CEO [view article]
    We are talking about a company in teh range of 10,000 employees. It needs its time to innovate.

    Well, if you want to see whats happening in the hood you should be caring about
    1. Yahoo!'s work on the Hadoop (now used by Facebook, Google, Microsoft, IBM, and large number of other people)
    2. Their Mobile products, especially OneConnect and Voice search
    3. Repositioning of Yahoo! news as an Internet news channel
    4. Connected TV (with Intel, Samsung, Sony)

    The list can keep on growing.... they innovate but it needs time before you can see the results... Many of the good changes are delivered.

    Leave the time when Terry was heading Yahoo and it was getting towards and entertainment company (more like AOL)
    Its back on track to innovate (technically as well). And technology products do need careful deliberation for the complete development lifecycle.

    If you can, try saving some time for Jerry by keeping people like Microsoft and Icahn dancing on his head.
    Damn it, they wasted more than 5 months and 20+ million dollars of the company.

    Time invested now can fetch much more results down the line.


    Technology needs careful thinking if you want to have senseful products out of it.     Reply

    Waiting Impatiently for a New Yahoo CEO [view article]
    i seriously don't want microsoft owning yahoo but 'Jerry' has had quite a long time to be more innovative and competetive. and i'm not sure who 'you people' is meant to address, but most of us would love to see yahoo succeed.
    yahoo is tech and tech has to be able to move fast...it's not like the car industry. tech is 'overnight' and if it can't be, it doesn't make it. yahoo rested on its laurels when it should have been more aggressively innovative. now is the time. soon it will be too late.     Reply

    Look Beyond what you see...
    Are you one of the belivers that things can change overnight. Spend time and look into what changes Yahoo as an organization is having. Give Jerry some time.

    You need to look at the motove behind the acquisitios they have made (Zimbra, Indextools, Right Media, and others)

    Go to suggestions.yahoo.com and see how all Yahoo properties are reorganizing to become customer centric.

    I can not list what all they are doing... just try to do it at your end and you will realize...

    You people are really after killing a great company.
    Just do a basic research on what plans this company has before demanding a new CEO or a buyout.     Reply

    Everyone of those folks for whom it can be shown they stepped into something they were not prepared to handle and walked away-should have their credit destroyed for atleast 10 years.

    Forget Yahoo! There'd be much more drama if an offer was made to buy Microsoft. Reply

    T. Boone Pickens on Yahoo and the Price of Oil [view article]
    LOL FreeEnterprise, I'm not an idiot, I'm a realist. Those claims made by Pickens are economically not realistic in the near term. There is way way too much invested interest in oil and the current infrastructure to change things immediately. I'm all for weaning ourselves off oil and moving to more enviro friendly alternatives, but I don't think it would happen in the next 20-30 years.

    Besides, your precious T. Boone went long oil in the $140-145 range. Hows that working out for him?     Reply

    Search vs. Display Ads: The Gap Widens [view article]
    If advertisers are smart, that trend will change quickly. Here's why....

    mattlillig.blogspot.co...

    "When marketers supplement search with display impressions, they get a significant lift in conversions. Unfortunately, most advertisers that run both search and display are unaware of this...” The study demonstrated that "users exposed to both search and display ads convert at a higher rate: an average of 22 percent better than search alone and 400 percent better than display only."

    Advertisers who focus on only search are risking a 22% lift in conversions.

    usr 71887..

    MSFT has never shown interest for a complete buyout after they walked out, and thats the reason the big institutions voted for yang rather than Icahn.

    with Icahn there was no other choice than sell yahoo to msft for whatever price...

    but ever since then nobody has come out with a statement/plan to maximise shareholder value..which is why yahoo is melting down.

    and maybe MSFT and Icahn want yahoo to go down all the way to $15, so that MSFT's $23-25 offer will look great.     Reply

    F'ing Institutional Investors who backed egomanica YANG, dimwit Decker and A'holes on Board. Not only have they screwed their own clients but the little investor as well. EVERYONE knew/knows idiots YANG/Decker/Board would destroy investor value if they didn't accpet MSs offer.. yet the "wizards" at these funds voted in support of these clowns...How smart do they look now?? They should not only be fired but publically flogged! I hate you idiot institutional investors who voted for YANG and Co! Reply

    Not Off the RIMM - Cramer's Lightning Round (9/3/08) [view article]
    Frontline is entirely on the spot market and in tankers for crude and refined products.Eagle is in dry bulk (limited to the Supramax sub-sector, has credit insurance on its charterers and 3-5 year time charters--with one ship on a 10 year charter--has an entirely different business model than Frontline). These are not at all comparable risk models, so Cramer's comment is irrational. Reply

    Not Off the RIMM - Cramer's Lightning Round (9/3/08) [view article]
    When the likes of Cramer finally get into an underrated sector like shipping, then the party is usually over.
    His 50% accuracy could easily be aachieved by a cave man.
    Lately he's been saying 'don't follw my recs. - do your own homework -an hour per stock followed'.
    What!?!!?
    My hour is now better than his full-time passionate pursuit of perfection??

    FRO for example has been despised by analysts for ten years, during which time it has payed excellent dividends along with some useful growth. You can also trade the rather predictable ups and downs.     Reply

    Cramer said to sell MGM and the casino stocks. What an idiot. He has been wrong on his picks over 50% of the time. That's why he makes money writing these articles and not making money as an investor. I like Zack's picks. They do a pretty good job on their recommendatios.

    Cramer does not know the Shipping Sector. Neither do show hosts on CNBC. I heard one confuse bulk shipping with containers coming out of China. Either the sector is too small, or they don't have contacts to interview, or they don't have access to shipping analysts in New York. I sometimes wonder what other sectors are great investments but we don't hear about them because Cramer and his cohorts don't follow them. Reply

    Wednesday Options Outlook: EP, FTO, XLE, YHOO, FRX, EWZ, ETH, ACN [view article]
    Option activity in EP was due to Jeff Clark's (of Stansbury Research) recommendation yesterday morning; "Buy the El Paso Energy October 17 calls (EPJR) up to $0.70." Other EP calls were also suggested. Jeff's track record is pretty darn good and he has a LOT of followers, including this author. Reply
