I really like the acquisitions that Yahoo is making. If they can leverage them appropriately, I think Yahoo will have a renewed level of interest from the market.</p> <p>I’ll wager that in the next 12 months, Yahoo’s stock outperforms both Google and Microsoft.</p> <p>Yahoo: $40.31 Google: $409.20 Microsoft: $27.71 The bet works 2 ways.</p> <p>#1.
