Yahoo fell into a new dollar range on Thursday, pushed into the high $8 a share bracket as the broader markets took a beating.

Yahoo closed at $8.95 a share, down 2 percent, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average cratered 444.99 points to close at 7,552.29.

For Yahoo, its shares have not traded at this point since February 2003, while the S&P 500, which fell 6.71 percent to 752.44, has not seen these levels since 2002.

The markets reacted late in the session as signs pointed to a delay in moving a massive bailout for the automotive industry forward.

Last week, Yahoo's shares moved in the $9 a share range and the day before that the $10 a share range.

If I had the money I'd buy Yahoo stock low and hope that some other company buys it out and gives me more than $8 a share. :)

Oooo...if I had extra money lying around, I'd definitely invest in Yahoo right now.

It's bound to go up eventually.

I'm sure you'll have many holders willing to sell.

Yahoo has painted itself into an ever smaller corner, and getting smaller by the day.
