Yahoo Warns of Slowing Internet Advertising Sales

narramissic writes "Yahoo chairman and CEO Terry Semel warned that a slowing U.S. economy is starting to impact ad sales, particularly in 'autos and financial services.' But Yahoo was careful to note that it cannot tell whether the current slowdown is a sign of broader trouble or is limited to ads from the auto and financial sectors."

Don't take this story for more than it is. Yahoo is adjusting their guidance for the quarter downwards (at the low end of their range, not below it), and they note shortfalls in a couple major advertising sectors. There's nothing long-term about it, and they're tossing up a broader slowdown as a possible reason for their shortfall. That sounds like speculation more than anything else...

And yes, IAAE (at least that's what my degree is in, I don't work professionaly as one).
