Yahoo disappoints Wall StreetAs you read in the news this week, Yahoo didn't have a very good second quarter! Yahoo did meet analysts' expectations with a net profit of $164 million, but the company said it postponed the introduction of a new Internet advertising idea, reducing hopes for substantially faster earnings growth later in 2006. On the Nasdaq stock exchange, shares of Yahoo dropped almost 14 percent on the news, released Tuesday just after markets closed. Yahoo is currently the owner of the world's most trafficked Web site and it said it earned $164.3 million, or 11 cents a share in the three months ended June 30. This represents a 78 percent decrease from the second quarter of last year, when the company earned $754.7 million, or 51 cents per share. The subtantially reduced numbers are deceiving since Yahoo made a $552 million profit in the second quarter of 2005 by selling its remaining stake in one of its biggest rivals, online search leader Google Inc. My take on all of this I haven't looked at the latest numbers, but I believe that Google is still hiring two to three times more new enginners, technicians and employees than Yahoo is. Maybe that's an area Yahoo needs to concentrate on. Also, what about R&D? I have a feeling Google is spending a lot more on research and development than its rival Yahoo. Food for thought. Well, thats it for this week. Have a pleasant and relaxing weekend. I will see you all next Saturday!
