> Yahoo and AOL aren't hiring these days If I may ask..how do you know this? And can you provide some detail?

Bottom line is - hiring (or lack of) is a leading indicator of a company's financial health. A company that doesn't have any open jobs for a sustained length of time (3-6 months to a year) is in belt tightening mode - which comes right before layoffs or worse, closing shop.

Btw - Yahoo is already doing layoffs or 'downsizing'. If Yahoo wasn't hiring during the past 3-6 months, that definitely was an indicator of this.

Here are some news sites that track layoffs. I recommend keeping a close eye on things.

Or better yet, keep an eye on the Dice jobs number which is prominently displayed on the Dice.com home page.

As of today, January 29, 2016 that number is 84,201. My take is that if this number goes below 60,000 then the bubble is bursting.
