Yahoo Inc. warned Tuesday that slowing ad growth will depress its third-quarter results, marking the Internet company's latest letdown. Investors took out their frustration on the company's stock price, which plunged by more than 11 percent to deepen a yearlong slump. Two of Yahoo's top executives, Chairman Terry Semel and Chief Financial Officer Susan Decker, delivered the bad news during a joint appearance at a New York investment conference that was streamed over the Internet.
