Decker's Position on Berkshire's Board Is Reason Enough to Make Her Yahoo's New CEO

Here is the latest on Yahoo (YHOO).

Mr. Yang is going to step down. Chairman of the Board Roy Bostock has the easiest decision ever--Susan Decker is right there. She takes over Mr. Yang's spot, and using her position on Berkshire's (BRK.A) board, talks to Warren Buffett about a partial sale to Microsoft (MSFT). Mr. Buffett, of course, knows Bill Gates very well.

Mr. Bostock can't possibly screw this up... or can he?

Decker is supremely talented, but she has blood on her hands for the company's current position.

I hope they tag Whitman.

Agree with Divesh about Decker...As for "Mr" Bostock, you're too kind, remember that IDIOT was pivotal in rebuffing Microsoft...so if there is any way to screw up YHOO even more, he'll figure it out

Decker is on Berkshire board so she knows Buffett, Buffett knows Gates, Gates can twist Ballmer's arm, and Ballmer will bend over and buy Yahoo!.

This is amazing logic. God help corporate america if this kind of logic is used in mergers and aquisitions.

Isn't there something called boards and shareholders. Maybe we can fire Bostock too since he doesn't seem to have any say in this deal.
