YAHOO! AND VISA, TOGETHER AGAIN

IT'S AS IF THEY GOT REMARRIED before the ink on the divorce decree dried. Yahoo! and Visa International on July 29 ended a 16-month-old joint venture to create an electronic-commerce Web site. So Yahoo! will hand over $21 million in stock to Visa in exchange for its 45% share of the joint venture and take a $21.2 million pretax charge against second-quarter earnings. But the romance continues. The companies simultaneously announced a raft of new projects, including a co-branded Yahoo! Visa card.
