Why Was Oil Up Wednesday?

Eric your years of clicking keys on a keyboard hardly qualifies you to make Strait of Hormuz predictions in the event of an Israeli strike on Iran. And it shows...

Stick to where your experience lies and you won't come across as an idiot.

Microsoft Crosses a Line

Holy cow Michael, you're actually beginning to get it...

Can you say greenmail?

Look, if you are Icahn, would you try to elect a full slate of directors with a huge risk of failure and a total loss financially? Or would you take a guaranteed two or more seats on the board to harass Yahoo and Yang?

Now, if you are Yang, would you leave the fate of your company to a proxy battle that could leave you with a total loss of all of the seats? Or would you bribe Icahn with two or more seats to get past August 1st?

The way this ends is not with a bang but a whimper. Yang eventually pays Icahn for his small stake in Yahoo at $34 a share and says goodbye!

It's happened before and it will happen again. Just ask Carl.

Sources Say MicroHoo Is Back On

Michael, are you getting your information from a couple of administrative assistants at Microsoft? Either that or someone is intentionally manipulating the market for a quick pop. You realize that it is illegal, don't you?

Where in the World is Yahoo's Jerry Yang?

I'm so sick of reading the belly aching crap from greedy little investors who obviously weren't watching the market. Any smart investor would have sold Yahoo for a decent profit at $27.50. Instead these market watchers were deaf, dumb and blind when Microsoft repeatedly said they were not interested in Yahoo any longer.

I Think Microsoft Is Bluffing on Yahoo

Matthew, Matthew, Matthew.

There's a bug difference in thinking that you know something and knowing that you know something. That's the difference between you and Kara. She doesn't think, she finds out what Microsoft thinks. You on the other hand, are guessing.

Frankly, no gives a damn what you think!

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

Wow Michael! Who are your sources?

It's hard to believe that the man scared off both Steve Ballmer and Carl Icahn is intimidated by an article in the New York Times. Is that one of those near obsolete ink based news publications of the last century? You know the one that will be out of business because of Craigslist?

Yahoo Destroying Shareholder Value, Internet Balance of Power

@user151634:

Dude what are you smoking? The only company that considered paying Yahoo $32 walked away. Pay attention. No one else is stupid enough to pay more than $25.

Microsoft-Yahoo Talks End

Sramana, the board is not going to fire Yang. He owns that board.

Icahn's 5-Point Plan for Yahoo

Hold the presses! Carl, is that your big plan? Threaten Microsoft with a side deal with Google if they don't cough up $34.75?

News release. Yahoo has been trying that tactic for months and Microsoft called their bluff. But maybe because it's Carl Icahn doing the threatening, Steve Ballmer will give him all his money.

So this is the master poker player? He shows Microsoft that he's holding a pair of 2's and expects them to fold. Wow...

Anybody holding out for larger gains than a $7 premium on Yahoo over its original $19 price deserves far less If you want to gamble, go to Vegas.

Yahoo's Aug. 1st Annual Meeting: Yang Should Be Sweating It Out

Todd, when the WJJ ot Portfolio.com reported this news it was fresh and served hot. When you dish it out, the news is old and cold. Dude at least serve up some geniune insightful analysis to make it seem that you're making a contribution.

Icahn Rallying Shareholders to Oust Yahoo's Yang

Erick, is there a difference in owning 4% and controlling 4%? I had understood that Icahn had not actually bought the 50 million shares. Are you saying that he's exercised his call options? While we're at it, do you know if he still owns the initial 10 million shares he bought and rode up to $27.50? I'm just wandering if the old fox hasn't already cashed out to fund the cost of the options.

Yahoo's 'Poison Pill' Against MSFT Takeover Deemed 'Nuts'

First of all, every takeover target fends off hostile bids in exactly the same way, poison pills, golden parachutes, etc.. Do you think that Jerry Yang invented these techniques? Do you really think Carl Icahn has not resorted to hitting below the belt to win his battles? Do you really believe that billionaires make their billions by fighting fair?

Let's face it, if these idiots are so greedy not to cash out on Yahoo trading above $27 (almost a 50% premium from January) and insist on squeezing out that last $3 when Microsoft buys Yahoo, then they deserve to eat it when the stock falls below $20.

Yahoo!: Poker-Faced Icahn Gets OK to Increase Investment

Last time I checked, Icahn had not purchased 59 million shares of Yahoo. He had bought 10 million shares and options on another 49 million shares.

If Icahn is as smart as you make hime out to be, then he should have sold his 10 million shares at 27.50 before YHOO drops slowly to 24.50 over the next two weeks...

Yahoo's Jerry Yang: We're Done

Michael Arrington wouldn't call this deal a dead turkey even if someone cooked it and stuffed it for dinner. He would try giving it mouth to mouth in the hopes that it would jump off the plate, flutter its plucked wings and flop away to mate in Redmond. Let's face it, if it looks like a dead deal, smells like a dead deal and tastes like a dead deal, it's a dead deal !
