yeah, the whole microsoft buying them bid has had them kinda shakey.

i think if it goes through, that the stock won't move anyway.

really, microsoft hasn't been out of the high 20s for years other than one up and one fall.

and today is the dump. anybody who bought yahoo took a big gamble that msft would buy them. now they are taking a huge hit.

this is a good example of why people should buy with the intent of holding, rather than just a quick flip.
