- mikescar 14y agoYahoo stock is up from $15 under Scott Thompson to almost $23 with Mayer, so not sure what point you're trying to make. Please, since you are so familiar with the ins and outs of Yahoo, what would you have done differently?
- marknutter 14y agonot that.
- enraged_camel 14y agoI'm sorry, but are you implying that stock price has anything to do with how well the company is doing? Because it doesn't.
- vacri 14y agoOne place I worked at had a stock price that fluctuated. Some times it was 8c, other times it was 16c - we could actually double our stock price and still have to lay people off...
- biot 14y agoI'd be surprised if it were otherwise. The company only makes its money from selling "new" stock. The 8 and 16 cent prices are what people are paying each other for "used" stock, and the company doesn't see a penny from those "used" stock trades.
- benjaminwootton 14y agoEr, surely the stock price has something to do with how well the company are doing!
- dfxm12 14y agoIt's more a measure of the traders' perception of how the company is going to do in the (not so distant) future. Sometimes perception becomes reality. Sometimes traders have no idea what they are doing.
- moocow01 14y agoTo me its more clear that these companies have pretty clueless managers that have no idea if their people are working or not.
- stephengillie 14y agoFailing companies usually have managers who can't tell if their workers are being productive or not?
- stock_toaster 14y agoThey must not have shown up in Yahoo!'s VPN logs either. ;)
- ok_craig 14y agoIs Yahoo still actively "failing," or is it starting from a point of failure? If a few years from now Yahoo is successful and the move paid off, we will just as easily be able to say: "The message is now clear - ending telecommuting is a great way to help turn around your company." Time will tell. If this is just meant as a knock against yahoo/best buy, if they turn around it could make you eat your words.
