- jmkiii, on 01/14/2009, -0/+492% = Dropping like a rock?
I think it is fluctuating like a turd on a pond, but that's just me. - PhoenixFlames, on 01/13/2009, -4/+38This happens whenever a company hires a new CEO. Nothing new here.
- haobaba1, on 01/14/2009, -0/+282% is dropping like a rock? not in this market. Lame.
- Chairboy, on 01/14/2009, -0/+19Considering the recent market performance in general, a mere 2% drop on the announcement of a new CEO might be the equivalent of a standing ovation from Wall Street.
- saucy05, on 01/14/2009, -1/+14Buried. 2% doesn't qualify for "dropping like a rock".
And yahoo ended 2% up for the day, while the rest of wall street tanked. - belorion, on 01/14/2009, -0/+13Bah - most of the market is down today. PLUS, at the time of this comment, Yahoo! is in fact up 2.56%, where the rest of the tech industry has averaged 3% down today.
- UCBrother, on 01/13/2009, -3/+15Not a surprise.. but you've got to feel bad for what ever chump takes over to fill Yangs shoes after watching him wreck his own company.
- warpdesign, on 01/14/2009, -0/+11Um, isn't the entire stock market down like 250 points today?? http://finance.yahoo.com/
- MxM111, on 01/14/2009, -0/+10"the stock started dropping like a rock. It is down more than 2 percent. "
In the age when Dow Jones index can go down in a day by more than 5%, 2 percent decrease of single tech company is below noise level... - nazsco, on 01/14/2009, -0/+8only that now it's called flickr, delicious, yui
- darkfus, on 01/14/2009, -0/+8YHOO is up 31 cents today, on a day where the DJIA is down 250 points. Other tech stocks are down about 4%. I know the article is from yesterday but the reality is that its coming back up and the loss was marginal at best.
- nazsco, on 01/14/2009, -0/+6they're hiring yang
- FreddieD, on 01/14/2009, -0/+6If 2% is "dropping like a rock" i'd hate to see what you'd call my 401k over the last year.
- EASwanson, on 01/14/2009, -0/+5Um... NASDAQ is down more in the same period of time then Yahoo is from this new news so you could argue that Yahoo shareholders have had a positive reaction... 80% of the people digging this story have no clue and are just assuming stock falling = everyone hates new appointment.
- robbh66, on 01/14/2009, -0/+5Opened at 12.26, closed at 12.41.
TechCrunch FAIL.
Bury story, move along. - CoD4, on 01/14/2009, -0/+4Time to buy some yahoo stocks, she knows what she's doing. Raised autodesk's profit from 300 million to 1.5 billion in a bad economy.
I don't usually give tips, but this one's on the house, booyaah!! - macmcraeart, on 01/14/2009, -3/+6not as far as AAPL is about to fall. looks like jobs is more ill than he let on.
- inactive, on 01/14/2009, -0/+3Buried for dramatic headline. 2% drop != "like a rock"
- geoboy, on 01/14/2009, -0/+3ummm... too late for that.
- petemcfraser, on 01/14/2009, -0/+3401 dollars.
- ngmcs8203, on 01/14/2009, -0/+2I was going to say that too, but this article was submitted yesterday.
- Barackalypse, on 01/14/2009, -0/+2Not true at all, HP shares surged roughly 10% when Hurd was appointed the new CEO (2 months after the stock surged when they fired Carly).
http://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-142046.html - serif69, on 01/14/2009, -1/+3Filter > Blur > Surface Blur...
- inactive, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2I'd like to blur her surface.
- hiro, on 01/14/2009, -0/+2Absolutely, if you haven't already done it you'll be too late, it will open well down bfore you can even opn a trade! If you actually seriously want to make a bit of money, look for the oversell and buy in to sell on the small bounce before it follows the rest of the market down
- inactive, on 01/14/2009, -0/+1I just had to read that while eating. Thanks.
- generalalcazar, on 01/14/2009, -0/+1I kinda like her style.
- tb0n3r, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1You know.... for kids!
- kjcdude, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1Their stock is up 2.56% today. What drop?
- thewoodgnome, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1Totally agree. 2% is nothing at all seeing as the index dropped by more. In any case 2% is not dropping like a rock and never has been. Take a look at Citigroup today (down 23%) or Barclays (down at least 14% on the day). Now that is dropping like a rock.
- gardnmi, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1Because Wall Street knows so much.
- nvpham, on 01/14/2009, -0/+1keep in mind that autodesk and yahoo are two completely different beasts. although she'll be able to put equivalent systems in place to spur innovation&growth, it's not such a sure thing...
not saying don't buy. just caution. - Egoist, on 01/14/2009, -0/+1Autodesk has a product. Yahoo doesn't. It's a whole different playing field.
- jmkiii, on 01/14/2009, -1/+2Very small rocks
- esc27, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1Share holders only care about the short term. If throwing Yahoo to Microsoft gives them a turn around, then they will take it in a heart beat, sell, and use the profits to screw another company. Long term planning with an eye toward growth, is very rare these days.
- cubicledrone, on 01/14/2009, -0/+1Well the obvious answer is to start firing people, because that always makes investors happy. Take their careers and their homes. Destroy their finances and scatter their neighborhoods. That's the true path to economic success.
- googooly, on 01/14/2009, -0/+1WHAT !! it didn't fall
http://finance.google.com/finance?q=yhoo - sartorious, on 01/14/2009, -0/+1You know, it's only natural in a period of transition for the more timid element to run for cover.
- macmcraeart, on 01/14/2009, -0/+1delusional fan boys: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10142947-37.html
- hiro, on 01/14/2009, -0/+1She is a streamliner and will undoubtedly make them leaner and fitter by reducing staff numbers and getting the right people in the right jobs. Whether it's already too late or not is a different matter.
- MalharP16, on 01/14/2009, -6/+7Do people still use Yahoo?
- likwidfuzion, on 01/14/2009, -0/+1Carol Bartz is also on the board of directors for Cisco.
- billraydrums, on 01/14/2009, -0/+1Poor Yahoo...your stock fell. I'm sure those chinese that you helped jail for 10 years will be thrilled to know they too can afford to purchase a slice of your deprecated company once they get out. Yahoo is the AOL of the 00's.
Don't quite follow? Here's the story:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2 ... - mishaneah, on 01/14/2009, -1/+1Anybody here remember AutoCAD R12 in the early '90s? Just look at what's happened to AutoCAD the last 14 years while she was CEO.
- kelceyjf, on 01/14/2009, -0/+0after two months of searching for an experienced exec to take on the challenge...
- inactive, on 01/14/2009, -2/+2whats going to happen to apple tomorrow?
now jobs has "taken a leave of absence till june" - chchrob, on 01/14/2009, -1/+1Yeah because it isn't like share holders have some kind of vested interest in the companies performance.
- kwansolo, on 01/14/2009, -1/+1is he
- inactive, on 01/14/2009, -2/+2Wait wait wait wait wait. Am i the only one who sees something wrong here! A woman!!!!!!??
