NYTimes Article Reverberates Through Yahoo; Who’s Their Next CEO?

The NY Times has so much credibility these days. I remember Judith Miller pimping for Dick Cheney and that Rice woman about weapons of mass destruction. Anyway, hang in there Jerry.

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?

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.

Yahoo's Online Services Continue to Deteriorate

RBC Analysts: Stay Long Yahoo As Its Possibilities Grow

Silicon Olie, no, MSFT is not bidding against itself. YHOO was not selling. MSFT approached them and offered 31. YHOO evaluated the offer, and countered with 40. So, if MSFT wants to buy YHOO in a friendly way, it must split the difference. If not, the only way to "buy" an unwilling owner is to do so in a hostile way. I don't understand why you don't understand that very simple concept.

Citigroup Analyst: Microsoft Still Committed to Yahoo

If MSFT really wants YHOO then they should pay up and get off the lowball offer - splitting the difference between 31 and 40 gets the deal done - the rest is BS
