My 2 featured articles for the week ending Apr. 25, 2008: Archived blogs for the week of May 5, 2008 1427 - May 6, 2008 - 1.42 PM EST Jerry Yang not too popular right now... If he wants to remain CEO, Yahoo's Jerry Yang will have to show a viable turnaround strategy for the number two search company that would appease angry shareholders in light of Yahoo's refusal to accept Microsoft buyout bid. Time is running out for Yang and now all the spotlights are on him.

Yang has promised that a more sophisticated ad network will accelerate Yahoo's net revenue growth by at least 25 percent in 2009 and 2010, up from the recent pace of 12 percent increase. If Yang fails to really deliver, that could entice Microsoft to return with another takeover bid that would be more difficult to turn down, but this time at a much lower price... Although Microsoft has publicly indicated it will focus on measures besides buying Yahoo in its effort to make its Internet division profitable, several analysts predicted the software maker will revive its offer in the summer or fall if Yahoo doesn't snap out of its two-year doldrum. With similar opinions reverberating everywhere, Yahoo's shares didn't sink as dramatically as many analysts anticipated. But Yahoo's stock still managed to drop $4.30 a share to close at $24.37, wiping out nearly half the gain it made since Microsoft made its bid January 31. Yahoo has officially set its annual shareholders meeting for July 3rd, after indefinitely postponing it in early spring as part of its effort to foil a possible hostile takeover attempt by Microsoft.
