Yahoo

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan 19, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO) today launched a new personal finance website, which brings together the Internet's most useful tools and information to help consumers manage their personal finances. Yahoo! Personal Finance (http://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance) offers consumers a suite of new financial centers, covering every major area of personal finance, ranging from "Banking & Budgeting" to "Retirement."

"The goal of Yahoo! Finance has always been to help our users make informed financial decisions, and now we're able to do that across every aspect of their financial lives," said Peggy White, general manager, Yahoo!
