Of course, Baidu.com, Inc. (ADR) (NASDAQ:BIDU) won’t fall down very easily, if at all, with its $5.5 billion hoard. Far bigger than Qihoo 360 Technology Co Ltd (NYSE:QIHU) and Sohu.com Inc (NASDAQ:SOHU), Baidu commands a market cap of about $34 billion. The good news for Sohu investors is that with greater size comes greater threats. With less visibility but a sizable war chest, Sogou may be nimble enough to outsmart Baidu in some search niches.

Is Sohu stock a buy?
While it’s great to see founder Charles Zhang back at the helm of Sohu.com Inc (NASDAQ:SOHU), there are still many uncertainties with the company. Yes, it has $1 billion and is focused on the challenges ahead of it, but  without strides in its “access” and “channel,” I’d be hesitant to invest in this content-based company.
