On Yahoo/ Microsoft: Jerry Yang Should Be Fired

I love the poster who keeps spelling Jerry Yang's name wrong. Very clever.

As an owner of the stock, of course I would like a short-term game. As an investor in a company, Yahoo did the right thing. A marriage with MSFT would've been a disaster for both companies. I believe strongly in Yahoo's long-term growth, so if I have to wait a few quarters or a few years, so be it.

And did anyone else notice how strangely Ballmer acted throughout the entire transaction. Spoiled child? I can't quite figure out what to call it, but he certainly did not seem to act like a dispassionate businessman. He reminded me of those Viet Nam era generals who said, "we have to destroy this village to save it." Anyway, we long-term investors will have endure Bloody Monday. I'm not going to turn my computer on that morning. But I will look forward to the future.
