Today's Sport: Yahoo Stock Watching

Kevin Maney anticipates: Yahoo shares fell off a cliff yesterday after the company killed all possibilities of a Microsoft deal. Then Yahoo announced a search advertising deal with Google, which will bring Yahoo more cash at the expense of its own integrity as a company.

So Yahoo closed at $23.52 yesterday. Where's it going today? Will the Google deal give Yahoo a bounce-back? Or is the whole thing such a mess that investors will flee?

One thing is certain: A Google ad deal is like crystal meth -- a great high now, but a long-term debilitating addiction. Just ask AOL. Its Google search deal has hemmed AOL in strategically throughout this dance of Internet giants.
