  • Tech Stocks in 2014: What to Buy, What to Avoid
    Tech investing
    • Money Morning Staff reports - December 26, 2013  ·   PrintPrint  |   Email

    Money Morning Capital Wave Strategist Shah Gilani joined FOX Business' "Varney & Co." today (Thursday) to discuss the viability of tech stocks in 2014.

    The hype and excitement that follow tech stocks can make them particularly volatile. Although Gilani cautions viewers against tech stocks that have reached 52-week highs, he generally believes tech stocks will soar in 2014, and states that "they're global, they're going to be here for a long time, and they're a good place to remain."

    Gilani especially cautions viewers against Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO), as he believes the "underlying numbers have not been looking great," highlighting lower display and search revenue in November.

  • Yahoo-Tumblr Deal a Hail Mary Pass That May Never Pay Off
    Top News1
    • By , Associate Editor, Money Morning  -   May 20, 2013

    The Yahoo-Tumblr deal is a $1.1 billion gamble aimed at rejuvenating a stagnating business, but is more likely to end up a costly mistake.

    The deal, announced today (Monday), is by far Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's biggest - and riskiest - acquisition yet.

    Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) wanted access to Tumblr's 117 million users, most of them teens and young adults, to give it a beachhead into the ever-more important world of social media.

    Tumblr has grown rapidly by making it easy not only to create blogs, but for Tumblr users to follow and share one another's posts.

    But Tumblr, like so many other social media companies, is not exactly a money machine. Analysts estimate the company's 2012 revenue was just $13 million, making it a pricey acquisition indeed.
