Profit or not, it would be incredibly foolish for I or any other person to buy Yahoo stock given their decade+ pattern of behavior of expending exorbitant amounts of money to buy companies that a) are not worth that much and b) eventually killing the companies they purchase. If Groupon is to succeed, I think they are best to remain independent at least for a few years and really try to grow their company. Personally, I'm tired of seeing potentially long-term successful companies being purchased and mangled by bigger companies that can't successfully expand or incorporate those startups.
