Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

As we wait with baited breath on the final outcome between Microsoft and Yahoo, let me make a prediction. While nearly on the fence with this issue, I believe that Microsoft will go through with the deal and buy Yahoo. Yahoo is the biggest social network on earth, boasting over 500 Million users.

MSFT should just go silent on this buyout for a while. YHOO isn't going anywhere. If they walk away for now, the share price will drop to below $20. That would be the time for a hostile takeover bid. They just need to remind shareholders just how much of a premium they were offering.

Second in industry means good chances of being bought up. MSFT deal shows theres interest, and Yang has his head in the game, trying to maximize value to the shareholder. Mobile Web Apps are going to make this company all over again, and with a strong Q1 Yang may be actually pulling off the turn around. This may be a rocky ride, but expect an outperform.

Looks like the CEO of Yahoo likes his job more than he cares about the shareholders at Yahoo, as Yahoo has turned from the big gun to second fiddle. Google has taken market share every quarter as they announce new growth and Yahoo can barely stay afloat. Google posted blow out numbers that will probably send their stock to $700. Yahoo barely made earnings, with an impressive showing from their Chinese holdings. They reported net income of $.37 per share a 370% increase year over year. Of the $542 million, $411 was related to their Alibaba IPO. Without the IPO they would have reported $.11 per share. Estimates had Yahoo posting $.09 per share. Their 2008 revenue forecast, if met, would beat by 9%. This as Google's quarter was up 30%.





Looking at Yahoo's conference call they seemed elated that they were up 25% on display revenues. This is the only area they are doing well and Google will catch them sooner or later. They also stated how overjoyed they were with the quarter because revenues were up. They said it is a difficult environment for advertising, but they might be out of their minds to think that their investors don't look at Google's numbers and wonder why they don't have a problem.





The biggest scare for this company is where the stock will find resistance on Monday when the bottom falls out. They could fall to $19 a share on the news. That was the last high volume day and it points to the stock falling a possible 30%. There could be some resistance at $23 and if it opens higher than that buy it. If we are to look at the value of the company, it has a PE of 37 but rises dramatically to 51 in the next twelve months as they are experiencing decreased growth. Analysts have the stock growing 0% this year, but could grow 19% next year.





It is very likely the stock will have the worst day in its history tomorrow; most of the carnage will be played out early. Barring a hostile bid, the stock will probably lose all of the hot money tomorrow and if so could be a painful day.

Absolutely horrible timing for my pick. Direct violation of the "buy on the rumor and sell on the news" rule. When YHOO opened steeply down after the buyout talks broke down, it was a BUY with a 1-2 day holding period. Of course, you can't play that in CAPS. Now, Mr. Softy just needs to keep his mouth shut for a while and YHOO will likely drift down and I'll be OK with this pick.
