The same steady growth has been seen in the US stock market as a whole. Compare Yahoo! against DJIA, S&P500, and the NASDAQ composite indices. [1].

The US Economy FTW!

On the other hand, check out what happened to Google's stock starting on the day she became CEO of Yahoo. Maybe greater market forces are also at work here.


Or it's two great CEO's at work. Larry Page has been doing quite well with Google and it's unfair to conclude market forces are the reason.


At this moment not really because the whole market is rallying, for example look at the S&P 500:

Apple dropped from $600 to $440 during the same time period.
