YHOO - Yahoo! Inc. - Page 32

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP) -- Yahoo is selling its online help-wanted site, HotJobs, to rival Monster Worldwide for $225 million in cash.

The deal announced Wednesday reflects HotJobs' diminishing value as the high employment rate undercuts the demand for help-wanted advertising.

Yahoo bought HotJobs for $439 million in 2002.

The sale is part of Yahoo's effort to jettison services that aren't doing well or don't fit with its focus on news, entertainment and communications.

As part of the deal, Monster.com will provide Yahoo with job listings and other employment content.

Monster hopes to take control of HotJobs between June and October

Shorting YHOO broke below 14.80 support

Falling like a rock

crazed98, where is your entry point?

I got in at 14.76 out at 14.59 missed the lows while I was doing something else.

ohok I got in at 14.50. Do you think it could go back above 15$?

Depends on which way the market breaks.

Do you think it finally capitulated? It closed on a nice hammer reversal candle today.

I don't know if it's done going down but definitely an interesting close right at the support line. If tomorrow closes above 14.80 it may have a chance of reversing.

Just noticed YHOO 15.09‎ +0.30‎ (2.03%‎) After Hours

Yahoos making a little run the last few days. How high do you think it can go?

I think its about to break out strong sometime this week. Nice chart. pay attention to the 50 and 200 ema's about to squeeze up.

Some beef going on between China and Yahoo as well as Google.. I was in China earlier and know that Yahoo search site and stories were not opening up the last few days.

Yahoo Has "Switched" Strategies To AOL's, Says Tim Armstrong

Nicholas Carlson | Apr. 28, 2010, 11:12 AM | 479 | 3
During AOL's first quarter earnings call this morning, CEO Tim Armstrong described the competitive landscape as AOL versus Yahoo versus Demand Media

Tim emphasized that it's becoming clear that Yahoo has "switched their strategy to a strategy that is more similar to ours."

He means that Yahoo has increasingly moved to become a media company that makes complimentary technology

products (not the other way around).

We agree with this view, and suggest that if AOL and Yahoo are going to be in the same business (media) they would benefit shareholders with a merger that cuts out all the (many) overlapping costs.

Here's the clip:

OK, I'm a believer. I've been watching this stock for a while and just couldn't pull the trigger on it, largely because Cramer keeps telling me to. Today I watched it run up about 25 cents. Not long later, I saw it sitting at -.08. Since I finally got out from under Baidu today, I finally pulled the trigger and picked this thing up at -.07 (closed +.24).

This stock has been a dog for sooooo many years (last time I held it, it was worth like 400 a share....this was back in the 90's). But they've got a lot of good going on for them right now domestically. On top of that, they're making some great inroads in China.

Never thought I'd see the day, but....I'm a bull on YHOO.

Since the company's report, share of Yahoo! have fallen from $18.38 to $15.54, representing a loss of 15.45% in the past 59 days.
SmarTrend is bearish on shares of Yahoo! and our subscribers were alerted to Sell on April 28, 2010 at $16.82. The stock has fallen 7.6% since the alert was issued.

Doesnt really make sense? Can anyone explain?

What's with Yahoo tanking so hard? Todays drop is really taking a smack. Down over 3%. It's tempting to buy here soon.

I like that it's sitting right above the support... I may get in.
