Could it be because the company is bloated and has a staff of people monitoring every board to make certain that postings are PC or could it be that the people who run the company have NO idea what a community is? Or could it be the company is so far from innovative that a Chinese competitor will sell more advertising than Yahoo for less money guaranteeing better metrics and ROI. Or could it be that basically Yahoo just sucks?

Don't invest what you can't afford to loose.

Because you don't know how to invest.
Yahoo Jan 2003 $10.00
Yahoo Jan 2005 $38.00
Yahoo Jan 2006 $40.00
Yahoo today $26.41
There is no reason to loose money on Yahoo it didn't move much 2005 to 2006 so you would think you may take some profit at the start of 2006.
Do you read the papers?
Do you do any research?
Do you have an adviser?

You lost money because you bought at a higher price than it's selling for now.
If you think Yahoo is so bad, why did you buy it in the first place?

Because...like a LOT of technology stocks...the price of the stock went down.

Yahoo, still a wonderful baby, just was not as nimble as google . . .
they ripped past our kid and kept on burning , kinda like DVDs have ripped past VHS & CDs past vinyl.
