...just after posting the highest operating income in its history. The stock now trades around $12. Yahoo's market value has dropped to $17 billion. Its value now is about the same as trash hauling firm Waste Management (WMI). In the last quarter, the portal company had an operating loss of $278 million.

And this figure will remain at that level only if we make no purchases for 12 months in an effort to avoid the new 1-cent-on-the-dollar increase in sales...
