okay, when you go to facebook, yahoo!, this one that i always use yahoo!, i don't use gmail, but you can. any free e-mail system is good, but yahoo! is what i typically use because it's the easiest to get on and easiest to obtain. everybody have a yahoo! account in here? so, you know most of you guys know how to do it? if someone doesn't know how to do it i'll stop right now. basically when you get onto yahoo!.com, you're going to go here and sign up. we'll get started here. * this is the next screen that will come up. and in here you just start making your -- you don't have to put your full real name in there. make one up. john smith is too generic. they're going to see that. because they'll go back and check your yahoo! account. so, make sure your yahoo! account corresponds with your fake facebook account. okay. take the yahoo! id. i used street art for you, illegal street art. use something that they would use. mostly of you guys know about graffiti a little bit in here, right? so, you can makeup something. do you guys want to tell your handle? it asks

to make money, he needs yahoo!ise above the strike of that call bill more than the $1.25 he spent or above $21.25 by july expiration. but ponying up $1.25? come on, we can do better than that. so, to spend less, dan sold the july 22 strike call for 60 cents. now, between the $1.25 he spent buying that lowest strike call and the 60 cents he collected by selling that higher strike call, dan has reduced the total cost of his trade to just 65 cents. now, to make money, dan just needs yahoo! to rise above the $20 strike price by more than that 65 cents or above $20.65 by july expiration. but there is a trade-off. by selling that call, dan has kept his profits to the strike of the call that he bought and the strike of the call that he sold. hold on. because paying 65 cents for a trade still ain't cheap enough for this guy. so, to spend even less, dan then sold the 18 strike put for 65 cents. now, between the $1.25 he spent by buying the call, the 60 cents he collected by selling that call. and the 65 cents he collected b

now, the ceo's goal is to make yahoo! the worst choice, for jobs in silicone valley. reuters told she told staff, quote, why can't we just be good at hiring? apparently a play on the line, why can't you be in a good mood from one of her favorite fames, "say anything," an ironic choice because he sounds like the last guy she'd hire. >> whatt what are your plans fo the future? >> spend as much time as possible with diane. >> really? >> i'm serious. >> good news for mayer, her own employees are giving her an 86% approval rating on glassdoor.com, where people give anonymous reviews. that is up from 84% last quarter. >> thanks so much. >> so is marissa mayer doing the rate things to turn around yahoo!? >> fred has his doubts. he's chairman of consumer giants avon and bausch & lomb. he goes into great detail in his new book, it's called "reinvent: a leader's playbook for serial success." he joins us now at the new york stock exchange. it's been a while. how you been? >> great. >> you feel that the bottom line for you on marissa

that's the new edict from yahoo ceo marisa meyer. here's part of the leaked memo.te, to become the absolute best place to work, communication and collaboration will be important. so we need to be working side by side. that is why it is critical that we are all present in our offices. and this discussion is about much more than just telecommuting. for one, it's a renewed discussion about the role of women in the workplace and whether they can, in fact, have it all. joining me to talk about this, the president of the national association for female executives and jessica haren, the ceo and founder of jewelry company stella and dot. what did you think when you first heard about this motor home memo? >> i said, is this a hoax? it did not seem possible that someone could be going backwards. most companies today are offering some kind of flexibility for people to work from home. and it's working very successfully. but as i thought about it, i was realizing that the ceo has made a choice. she has chosen innovation over people. she's probably going to get her innovation, b

jason of oppenheimer with that big call on yahoo! right now. get right over to sooim simon hobbs who is following the european close. simon? >> the european markets are closing now. >> thank you very much, scott. we will in an hour and a half start a eurozone finance ministers meeting about cyprus so do expect a statement before we close on wall street this afternoon that could move indices here. 70% of stocks are down in europe at the moment. if you look at the detail there, france is actually worse than the others, and i'll come back to that at a moment. somebody just asked me, one of the traders whether or not european equities were a lead indicator of what was happening here in the united states. well, no. the correlation breaks down increasingly by the day. if you look at dow how it continues to essentially rock higher, you can see that here you're beginning to almost erase the entire gains that you've had in europe. one of the major reasons for that, for the equity markets underperforming this is not just cyprus, but it's also the growth,

and that's yahoo's problem.me, this work from home thing, to attack all the work from home people, and it is an attack on them, is sort of odd. why not get rid of the work from home people who didn't work out? why not try to make it a more exciting work place. i don't think you can force camarader camaraderie. i'm curious how it's going to work out because she can try as much as she like tz, but until they make pruths that are exciting, no amount of free food, no amount of free dry cleaning, phosing people into the office is going to matter. >> if this does work and yahoo starts to compete successfully with its rivals, marissa will be heralds as a genius. you used to get rid of the bottom 10% of the work force for poor performance. would she have been better off targeting the underperformers and allowed the ones who have enjoyed working from home to continue? >> look, she's not going to throw out great performers. she'll use judgment. she'll let some have flex time. some come in, some not. but she's got -- she's

diplomacy and sanctions fail strong statements from a leader emboldened by new quote from power on yahoobones the american israel public affairs committee iran is using international negotiations to buy time so it can prissy haid with its nuclear program a message he's willing to in the past. how do you stop well you have to put greater pressure and you have to upgrade the sanctions and they have to know that if the sanctions and diplomacy fails they will face a credible military threat that's essential nothing else will do the job. and it's getting closer. so much for the sigh of relief many breathed following last month's parliamentary elections the surprising win by same tempo peace political parties prompted many to believe netanyahu would back down from his threats to strike iran ask those on the street who voted against netanyahu they feel the message was clear take your finger off the trigger in your threat to attack iran give economic sanctions and diplomacy a chance but analysts on so sure netanyahu has any intention of toning down the rhetoric and the ten year old is a man whic

to yahoo! for $30 million. last time. >> when he was here, i just said hello, but i tweeted that morning, if i could invest in a person, i would invest in this kid. >> why? >> he a was so smart, understood the mark so well. he really had his head on. this is like his first company. there will be many more. >> i don't want to be a provocateur, but will he be allowed to work at home. >> no, from the london office. >> what if he has homework? >> yahoo! is making exceptions, so something tells me -- >> and i asked is he going to buy a car? he said, no, i can't drive yet. >> who wants a car in london? traffic is terrible. >> here's the think about sunnily. it's a way to read regular-sized articles, they adapt them. to me, the success of this kid is all about the shift to mobile devices. people are spending more time on the smartphones and they want to access the content they used to read, but they need it in bite-sized pieces. >> a really stupid questions. why aren't the engineers in facebook or yahoo! developing it
