I
expended
$7,512.82
to
buy
521
shares
of
Yahoo!
Inc.
stock
on
July
18.
Since
I
invested
for
2
days,
the
price
of
a
share
obviously
dropped
to
$1.11
per
share.
This
price
was
the
lowest
price
in
a
year.
It
can
be
inferred
that
the
price
went
down
by
rivals.
According
to
the
prediction
by
eMarketer
on
July
20,
Yahoo!
Inc.
will
lose
their
spot
as
the
top
seller
of
display
ads
in
the
U.S.
to
Facebook.
In
addition,
competitors
are
working
a
better
job
to
get
more
users
to
use
their
web
pages.
ComScore
reported
the
average
time
people
spent:
6.7
hours
on
Facebook,
4.1hours
for
Google
and
3.4hours
for
Yahoo.
Yahoo!
Inc.
is
the
only
company
from
which
I
lost
money.
From
the
first
day
I
spent
money
to
buy
521
shares
of
Yahoo!
Inc.,
I
lost
$687.72
in
total.
The
price
per
share
of
Yahoo!
Inc.
continue
going
down.
Besides,
NewsyStocks
reported
that
experts
predicted
that
Yahoo!
Inc.
will
post
$0.22
earning
per
share
next
quarter.
This
amount
is
not
so
much;
in
addition,
there
are
numerous
powerful
competitors
even
though
Yahoo!
Inc.
does
not
have
distinctive
features
until
now.
So,
I
plan
to
sell
the
shares
to
prevent
from
losing
money.
2. Microsoft
Corporation
(MSFT):
Low
risk
or
Blue
Chip
Most
of
all,
the
reason
I
chose
Microsoft
Corporation
as
a
low
risk
or
Blue
Chip
company
is
that
this
company
is
ranked
on
the
list,
The
World’s
Biggest
Public
Company.
According
to
NET
MARKET
SHARE,
Windows
made
by
Microsoft
Corporation
had
approximately
90%
of
the
market
share
of
the
client
operating
systems
for
usage
on
the
Internet
as
of
October
2009.
Out
of
this
report,
I
thought
this
company
is
famous
and
firm
enough
to
invest
as
a
low
risk
or
Blue
Chip.
