    I was reading about Yahoo, and was wondering if it’s a good time to buy some? It’s $52.58 right now. The 52 week High was a little over $120.

    Are we looking at the same stock? I get the old Yahoo as just over $70 a share:-

    While there will be a level when any company becomes “good value for money” I feel that Yahoo has been left behind by the likes of Google and will never catch up. That is not to say the company does not have some value, in the right hands, but I would rather stick with a company like Google where success is on the whole more likely.

    Agreed.

    I have owned small amounts of Yahoo here and there just for the odd speculative trade... but it is nowhere near on par with the likes of Google, which I have owned a large amount of for many years.

    Hi JR,

    Every stock has a value level and Yahoo still has customers and lots of data but the company never seems to be able to maximise what it has like Google can. Until they are able to sort out that problem I dont think they will go very far.
