King of the Mountain

Yahoo! ruled the internet in the late 1990’s, but this decade has belonged to Google. The lads in Mountain View just celebrated their three year anniversary as a public company, and investors have been partying right along with them. You did not have to get in on Google’s IPO to make a decent buck, and this chart shows the striking difference between the two stocks over the past 24 months. Of course, this happened on Terry Semels watch, but we doubt Jerry Yang is going to fare much better.
