    As I said, I'm above water and buying. You guys are entitled to your opinions, but keep in mind-- I'm looking on a 1-5 year time horizon; I'm not a day-trader like some of you guys appear to be. I am well aware of how the various stocks mentioned here are doing right now. Reply

    What's Yahoo's Next Move? [view article]
    "William Morrison, ThinkEquity, has simple advice for Yahoo holders: “Take the money and run.”"

    Just so. Sell NOW.


    Yahoo itself should simply do nothing. They are under ZERO obligation to allow acquisition by MSFT or anybody else.     Reply

    "At home Google is, as predicted desperate to stop the MSFT/YHOO deal"

    GOOG's motives here are altruistic. GOOG would benefit from the removal of a competitor (YHOO) and concurrent severe weakening of an adversary (MSFT).     Reply

    "It's called LINUX and despite great strides into the enterprise it remains a thud. "

    You are in the wrong thread; this piece is about Google-- not some LINUX company, like Red Hat.     Reply

    How Yahoo! Can Exit the Microsoft Bear Hug [view article]
    Actually, they're great ideas from a business and investment perspective as well -- but $44.6B is a serious headwind that clouds the minds of stockholders. Even if the Powers That Be at Yahoo saw the wisdom therein and attempted to implement this plan, the moment that it became exposed, Balmer would stir up some shareholder lawsuits to tie things up while they blinded the shareholders with visions of billions.

    You can't tug on Superman's cape, you can't piss into the billion-dollar-wind, and you can't get in the way of Mr Softee. The best bet the Yahoos have of preserving what they have built is to fight a delaying action until after the Bush administration is gone, and hope for some help from the DOJ. With the DOJ standing in the path of a Mr Softee assimilation, there might be some faint hope of implementing Fred's notions.

    They shoulda seen this coming, and erected some decent poison pill defenses. Too late now, the barbarians are at the gate.     Reply

    Umm, I'm not sure if you knew this or not but this all ready happened. It's called LINUX and despite great strides into the enterprise it remains a thud. What OS and browser are you going to use to download this fantastic free internet OS? Probably MS Vista and IE 7. Come on man get real. Remember TC? Thin Computing, yeah, like I said we've been down this road before, people don't want to deal with the OS, to non-geeks its not important. Did you say driver support? Who do I sue when my free word processor kills my sales proposal? Come on, you wrote an entire article with your head in the clouds! Reply

    Micro-Hoo!™: Desktop vs. Internet [view article]
    I predict an increase in sales of small arms, nationwide. I would say that small arms manufacturers provide a justifiably stable investment with a steady, profitable return in light of the said merger considerations. What are consumers going to buy with the money anyway? Food? Nah. What it takes to get by takes on a whole new meaning when M$ acquires Yahoo.

    Oh wait, I forgot. Microsoft is littered with GNU GPL source code, while Yahoo could never get their damn Panama operation going (meaning they can't target ads right). So they are nothing but two oversize and yet tame beasts of capital intrepidity. Don't be afraid of the big guys. There are but 7 programmers in this entire country, and apparently neither Microsoft nor Yahoo has ever employed a single one of them. Just because it's a big dinosaur doesn't mean it's a T-Rex, double the trouble. Here it's just two big fat useless brontosaurs mating with each other behind the biggest prehistoric bush they could possibly find after an 18 month long courtship. Their worst weapon is their tails, and they've been persisting by tail jobs for just too long now for there to be any remaining ominous threat, a-over there.     Reply

    Everything taken with a grain of salt... Barry's take on people using their hotmail account for garbage, rings true for me. I thought that was funny.

    Yes, I've noticed all of his post on just about every single Seeking Alpha article on MSFT/GOOG/AAPL. The man does hate MSFT. Reply

    Thomas Barta is long on GOOG and AAPL and I'm sure he's losing money unless he bought it long ago.

    Mostly he just severely hates MSFT and likes to write comment(s) in every MSFT/GOOG/AAPL article written on this site     Reply

    "Thomas Barta, you're posting like you're long on GOOG...and losing quite a bit of money."

    I am and I'm above water. I'm buying more when they go down some more.     Reply

    "Glad you brought it up; MSFT and F are much alike--dinosaurs."...
    This would not be consistent with MSFT's balance sheet and Income Statement. In 5 years, everyone will be a dinosaur but for the few that keep reinventing themselves.     Reply
