I stated here a couple of times that I believe the company Yahoo is a candidate to be bought out by another firm...if this were to happen, there is a good bit of money to be made by owning the stock. While Yahoo has been losing market share to Google, the company still has about a 30% market share of the search traffic on the internet. The real value of Yahoo lies in the Asian assets that they have. Yahoo owns part of Alibaba, which is one of the largest search engines in China/Japan, as well as the company Yahoo Japan. Not to mention that they also own part of the Asian "paypal" (like we have here in the states). Below, I've attached an article that discusses why the company will likely be purchased by another company - possibly Microsoft, an Asian company, or even a private equity firm that is currently a large share owner. It's a good article to read for anyone who owns the stock or for someone who might be thinking of buying the stock. All you have to do is click on the link below or if that doesn't work then copy and paste the website in your internet browser (the article is on the msn.com website down near the bottom of the page).
