is Yahoo a good investment?

There are a lot worse investments out there. There are also some better investments. Technically, it is not very strong right now. Translated, that means it is not in an uptrend. \n\nOne of the responders suggested Yahoo options. That is not an investment. That is a speculation. \n\nIf you are a long term investor and do not have exposure to any internet companies and can stand more than average risk, Yahoo is an ok investment. But be aware that both Google and Microsoft are competitors.

Found your question after querying for Yahoo on Yahoo News from my Yahoo email beta. Yahoo news lead me to your interview with Yahoo VP on Answers.  \n\nYahoo search results are equivalent or better than Google's, and then Yahoo has so much more to offer.  So with the ad platform fix starting this fall, what is not to like?  Google has great brand recognition, but it is very early still on the web.  Of course, Yahoo is undervalued, although I usually look to folks like you to help me decide.

Go to Alibaba.com. Incidentally, it is actually now owned by YAHOO. One of their better purchases, that will undoubtedly realise its full inherent value in the global economy in the near future.

There are two major things that are going against yahoo stock\n\n1) Special love for GOOGLE means less love towards YAHOO. Even though a lot of analyst belive that YAHOO is a solid investment but they all are in awe of GOOGLE right now.\nAlso its a fact that GOOGLE is taking away 'searches' from YAHOO every day.\n\n2) The overall market so down becuase of increasing oild prices , decreasing dollar value and overall uncertainity in international arena (read Iran) that the market has been really down from last 3-4 days. I follow quite a few stocks closely, and they all are down around 10% in last week.\n\nI believe YAHOO is not going to see $40 for atleast 6 more months.

Neither a high nor a low p/e ratio is technically better than another.  Currently, Google is trading at a P/E ratio of 104.94, which is pretty high.  Microsoft is trading at a P/E ratio of 23.1 which is pretty stable, Yahoo is trading at a P/E ratio of 39.18.  \n\nTypically a company will have a higher P/E ratio when the public expects big things in the future, and a lower P/E ratio, when expectations are not as high and their earnings have become more stable. This is certainly not a bad thing at all, this just means that the public is valuing this company like it can depend on their future earnings, it has a lower P/E because people have decided that they feel confident about what the future earnings will be.  \n\nYou may have heard the term that a stock is "cheap" right now, and that could be because it is an established company, that has historically traded at a P/E ratio of 25, and then, for seemingly no good reason, it is currently trading at 15.  Many experts think this is the case right now with many big dependable stocks, because they feel people may be over-valuing and expecting too much from many small company stocks.  \n\nSo unfortunately there is no short answer, it is relative to other companies in the same industry at the same point in time, and it is relative to the company's prior P/E ratio.  Also, it depends on your risk aversion, a stock with a very high P/E ratio may be more risky than a stock with a lower, and a more dependable, P/E ratio. If they have a high P/E ratio, that means that today's value is based on the fact that the trading public expect big things from this company in the future, and if those big things don't happen (dot.com bust comes to mind) then the stock prices will depreciate as a result of not meeting those high expectations. \n\nThis is not the case every time, and you should always do your research before making investment decisions.

Microsoft is never going to buy Yahoo! for $50 Billion or more.\n\nWith that kind of money Microsoft could buy:\nAdobe ($18 Billion)\nSymantec ($16 Billion)\nAmazon ($16 Bilion)\n\nAnd those three companies combined make a lot more money than Yahoo!\n\nTop 3 Answerer in Business & Finance.

Yahoo is not a real good place to find that information. Investors daily is a good place, but it is a subscription. \n\nYahoo does give you the ability to run screens. But you have to know how to construct your screen to get the correct data. Investors daily does that for you. \n\nI especially like market edge technical analysis. Everything in a snapshot.
