There was a very interesting article From Marketwatch.com titled Yahoo’s share price is too low, CEO says
Yahoo Inc. Chief Executive Carol Bartz commiserated with shareholders at the Internet giant’s annual meeting Thursday, acknowledging that the company’s stock price has lagged.
Let’s break it down.
First to be honest I was never a Yahoo fan. Back in the Mid 90’s I was using search engines like AltaVista, Lycos and Hotbot. Yahoo at the time was way too focused on their Yahoo Directory.

Inktomi pioneered the paid inclusion model it was nowhere near as efficient as the pay per click auction model developed by Overture. Licensing their search results also was not profitable enough to pay for their scaling costs. They failed to develop a profitable business model, and sold out to Yahoo! for approximately approximately $235 million, or $1.65 a share, in December of 2003.
