Certainly not all of them. Edit - do you not consider Warren Buffet a conservative investor?
Do you think Warren Buffett doesn't understand crypto from the standpoint of finance?

My off the wall suggestion would be for Coinbase to acquire them. They certainly have enough firepower to do a stock acquisition. The Yahoo Finance portal would run as a subsidized loss leader to on-ramp new customers into crypto investing. Setting up the portal to put crypto assets on the same footing as traditional assets would do a lot to appeal to older or more conservative investors who view crypto as "magic Int…
As an liberal investor, all crypto is a pump and dump scheme pushing magic internet money. But we've all seen this debate before.
2. What sectors are you invested in that are somehow immune to hype cycles?

Or makes them worse by "developing" them Eg: Google Chrome on Android
I really wish there was incentive to have products be "done". It seems that so many products get to a great state and then get made worse over time because we need continuous growth (Evernote immediately comes to mind. Others seem to feel similar about 1Password) or in the case of Google, get shut down.
I've had email addresses on Rocketmail for a very long time. I always worry they will shutter this historically significant domain & email service.

I'm surprised Twitter hasn't been interested in Yahoo Finance and Yahoo sports apps. The onboarding into Twitter, integration with tweets would be worth billions. A lot of "regular people" use those apps, and Twitter investors are looking for the user growth. Also, if Twitter is going to become a platform for interests/topics, it would be good to have a couple of standalone apps on some core topics.

nitpick: you cannot buy Doge off Coinbase even with 10,000 clicks.
Soon it’ll be Yahoo & AOL sold for an NFT of an illustration of a pile of used AOL CDs.

Just FYI, 'conservative investors' do understand crypto, they just think it's a bad investment.

A headline with 5G but not a single mention of it in the article. If any insider from Verizon may be could help explain why their insistence on mmWave 5G for Phones. ( And Phone only, not fixed Wireless internet access ) It doesn't make sense to me when the spec (3GPP) were announced, doesn't make sense when Verizon actually announced it, and still doesn't make any sense when they are now up and running. Both from a…
mmWave doesn’t penetrate glass or brick making it pretty useless as a wireline replacement. Unless you want to go through the trouble of mounting an antenna outside, assuming of course that you access to wall with direct line of sight to a 5G tower.
> For Apollo, it’s an opportunity to further invest in the digital media space — an industry it has already put money behind with deals for Shutterfly, Rackspace and Cox Media. Cox Media was my first employer (it was called Cox Interactive Media at the time), Verizon Media, my current employer. At the time, I was on the team that ran CIM's web farm which hosted the web presence for all of Cox Enterprises' newspapers,…

There's two dead companies in that title, and the only live one owns content. Fair point: in a rapidly shifting marketplace, owning the well / mine is the best bet.
Didn't you, historically, want to be the person selling shovels?
If you won big on a gold/oil/internet strike you were much, much better off buying as many shovels you could at any price and mining for all you were worth.
Selling shovels is a reliable, lower risk business for a while. But Sun/SGI/Cray/Dell/Nortel/etc show the risks that come with relying on shovel income.
