Can't believe the number of household names that may disappear off planet earth! Look at their ticker symbols: they're just one letter. That tells you something right there. http://blogs.moneycentral.msn.com/t...-us-companies-that-may-disappear-in-2008.aspx Citigroup, Ford, AMD, Yahoo, Sprint and Qwest - all going away? Say it ain't so! Do you believe it? Are these beloved behemoths going bye bye?
Not even Yahoo?? Aren't they ripe for the pickens? And won't someone have to bail out C one way or the other?
In the case of YHOO, if someone bought them out, their ticker symbol would disappear. There would probably still be a Yahoo but the company would no longer exist as we know it. I cannot imagine Ford being around in 5 years either. The only thing they make well is the Mustang. I predict it will get carved up within a few years...
AMD isn't going anywhere. IBM or NVIDIA will buy them if they're smart. And they'll buy them before their stock goes back to the 20s or 30s, too.
