Since when will investors realize that when Microsoft made the initial offer on yahoo, the internet ad market was down in the stock market and most technology companies were down. Google delivered in their earnings. Yahoo also delivered. if Microsoft hadn't made the stupid offer for yahoo, yahoo stock price would have jumped back up and investors wouldn't have boxed yahoo's stock within this stupid $31 ceiling.

Are investors saying that yahoo's stock price cannot be back to $33 in a year?

Yahoo has been beaten in search. That is fine. But yahoo has several other businesses which google lacks.

So icahn, please take ur greedy ass back to blockbuster.]]> Fri, 16 May 2008 06:33:06 -0400

Microsoft cannot be a search verb by simply offering free ads to advertisers. Advertisers understand that they need to pay for eyeballs and not for ghost towns.
- vertical websites and publishers - Google has the greatest reach of publishers.
- free stuff - Google is offering free office software and quickly capturing user base. The model of offering free stuff to consumers at the expense of advertisers have always worked.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 07:53:14 -0400 - Search - Google is a verb and so advertisers would want to be where the audience is.
