Microhoo Part Deux: Is Jerry Selling Out His Employees?

I'm going to miss the adult chat rooms with women who like animals.

Oh wait, after the announced partnership with GOOG, MSFT will go away.

Microsoft in Perfect Position to Undercut Previous Yahoo Offer

Your calculations may not be so relevant but your position on the stock is, even if I don't agree with your reasoning.

The upside in YHOO is capped at $33 and MSFT would be fools to pay that now with the position they are in. Did you see how the board reacted to MSFT's dropped bid? It wasn't just them either the employees were the same way. The cultures of these two companies won't mix. Just ask some of the Yahoos.

Icahn and the rest of them are making a killing and a lot of publicity for themselves while they get even richer as once they are finished pumping they dump their shares into the hype they created.

The risk/reward is very in favor of shorting the shares at the current price near $28. I see 3 up and 8 down.

In full disclosure I have started a short position in YHOO and will be adding to it over $28 if it makes it there.
