BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

No one expected the degree to which display advertising rolled over ... It happened hard and fast. By refusing to sell, Jerry Yang saved Ballmer from making a disastrous acquisition.
said Colin Gillis
They need someone who's less invested. Jerry Yang was there from the beginning... I think he's really suffered from not having an objective view of what the company is worth.

Funny, Citigroup under Vikram Pandit looks a lot like Citigroup under Chuck Prince, and that's why Pandit is the latest member of the Mad Money Wall of Shame. Let's hope he pulls a Jerry Yang and quits, causing Citi's stock to rally substantially.

Yahoo shares are up as investors applauded news that its CEO Jerry Yang is stepping down
was said
in eWeek
It seems like he did do what's right for Yahoo by stepping down. Hat's off to Jerry. Not every company founder is that self-aware. Now Yahoo has to hope that Yang and the board do a better job finding an appropriate CEO than they did the last time, when they hired Terry Semel.

said Roy Bostock
U.S. equities were given a leg up from lows by better than expected HP earnings and the resignation of Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang, which appeared to open the way for a merger down the road. But the hotter-than-expected core PPI reading gave some pause to stocks outside the tech sector
