Re: Yahoo and SEC
freehe,
That's true but I fear you're too much of an optimist. Most corporate fines, from most agencies, most of the time, are far too low to deter bad behavior.

Re: Verizon/Yahoo
@JohnBarnes, realistically that makes sense. Why bother advertising to people who don't have the capital to invest in your product? Tesla isn't going to have an ad at a WIC office. It's about knowing your customer base and what demographic they should and do fall into. Verizon no doubt believes this deal will work out in their favor, or you know they wouldn't continue to pursue it.

@DH I can't imagine what they'll buy next. What aging Internet companies are still around these days??

Re: Verizon/Yahoo
ElizabethV, modern demographic segmentation shows that much of the purchasing effect of a segment is governed by status rather than income (the nouveau riche are more easily pressured and fashion driven than old money, but old money buys quietly expensive). Wonder how that plays out with something like Yahoo, in a field where old does not equal better as it does in most status contests?

@mpouraryan - It looks like the new administration won't be doing much questioning at all when it comes to mergers.... If this article is any implication.

@Michelle, I don't think there are any - I think they are scraping the bottom of the barrel - so they really need to make the "New" Verizon count!

@DH Whew, that's too bad. I can't wait to see what they do with Yahoo. I'm expecting a bit of a wreck.

@Michelle, it will be interesting to watch. We will see if they know how to operate and lead in this new territory for them. If they do it right they will win, if not - your trainwreck will occur!

@DH No matter what happens, it'll be hard to turn away from the coverage.
