		<description>I understand and appreciate Yahoo!&#039;s position.  I know they&#039;re thinking of ways to enhance and improve, and I appreciate that too.  What I don&#039;t understand is the lack of shareholder loyalty.  I confess to being an emotional investor but, if you&#039;re a shareholder, just shut-up, sit back and watch to see what comes of it all.  Give me a break!  Here&#039;s a hint... the lawyers don&#039;t need anymore money! Idiots like that are just costing the other shareholders more earnings.  What an idiotic thing to do!  Stop making your financial plans based on something that hasn&#039;t happened yet!</description>

		<description>As a former officer, former director of a public company, I look at being sued by Wayne County&#039;s retirement fund as a very big deal.  Professional plaintiffs law firms routinely file laughable lawsuits on behalf of owners of 15 shares (not 150, not 1500, not 15,000, but 15).  I know.  I&#039;ve been on the defendant end of some of these, which invariably get dismissed but only after mountains of hassles.

Institutional shareholder activism is definitely on the rise.  Yahoo&#039;s only reason for rejection, transparently clear, is that they don&#039;t like Microsoft.  There are very few other viable bidders who would find 60% worth of synergy/savings/strategic benefit from this deal.  A perfunctory rejection of Microsoft as a negotiating ploy is natural, but I doubt more bidders are coming forward.  The only interpretation left to holders like Wayne County is that Yahoo is acting against the interest of shareholders.</description>

		<description>#25 Hater, You hit the head on the nail.  If indeed Yahoo is working on socializing thier network (this is where they are losing market share i.e. myspace, friendster etc.)  they would suddenly be running neck in neck with google and MSN would be left out of the equation.

You don&#039;t want MSN buying yahoo.  MSN has a horrible track record with the internet.  Horrible.  Yahoo needs to get the socializing down and they will be right back in the game.  If I was MSN, I would offer a price Yahoo could not refuse and then bring in the right expertise to socialize the network to take back market share.  Then we would have Google and MSN/Yahoo coexisting and controling the internet as they both would be specializing in different aspects of the internet.

However MSN would not do this.  They would buy Yahoo and then be clueless on what to do with the company once they bought it.  At least Yahoo knows what it has to do and I would say most likely they are working on it diligently.  Either way though, one of the companies will be left out of the internet equation (but it won&#039;t be both) and I would bet my money on Yahoo for the long term, but never MSN.  MSN just doesn&#039;t grasp the internet and its endless potential.  Heck for all the smart moves Bill Gates had ever made, the comment that the internet would never be big, was the most puzzling comment of his reign.  It shows that MSN does not understand people.  And PEOPLE my friend is what drives the internet.  PEOPLE are the INTERNET.  YAHOO has demonstrated they understand that concept.  MSN doesn&#039;t have a clue.

Use MSN&#039;s space for a while.  You will see what I mean.  NEVER has been user-friendly.  NEVER will be..for the masses at least.</description>

		<description>That lawsuit sounds funny. They have no chance of winning and will accrue huge legal fees on their tiny shareholding.

The reason they will not win the lawsuit, is as this is a hostile offer to buy shares, they have the option to do so without board&#039;s recommendation and get the MS buyout price.</description>

		<description>@1: you my friend, are a moron.

@25: it doesn&#039;t matter what they are working on. If enough shareholders vote to sell to MSFT, then MSFT wins. 

This lawsuit maybe BS based on the number of shares they hold, but even if they lose $.01 a share because of Yahoo!&#039;s board, they are entitled to sue because they have damages. It may not be much, and it may be a frivolous lawsuit, but they are entitled to sue.

		<description>@25 those are all good ideas and I&#039;m sure you are right that Yahoo is thinking on those lines.....but much like their response time to stuff these days....I think their idea of a revolutionary social network that will make it a great destination for ad spenders......will again, come too late.....

the reason why people say (or atleast most people) say that they should sell to Microsoft is because MS is atleast trying to put up a fight against google.....Yahoo is just sitting their taking up the ass for last couple years.....MS is a much more aggressive company and if they were in yahoo&#039;s position the search adv. space for better or worse would be a lot different.....

You said they are not stupid. Maybe but whatever they&#039;ve been doing for last couple of years certainly confirms that they are either stupid or just don&#039;t want to put up a fight....

No one has a crystal ball but if I am a shareholder, going by what they&#039;ve done so far, I can&#039;t really &quot;trust&quot; this current management to come up with anything better than what Microsoft offered.....</description>

		<description>Well, at least on the employee side, the sentiments seem to get less irate as the survivors get the good news! This person that I had interviewed in the first group was very militant in his /her (Im trying to be vague), outlook (!) on the proposed Microsoft buy.

But now, they got the good news and seem less angry, and more philosophical.

		<description>@20: AGAIN, I must try to inject some common sense into TC comments about Yahoo!.

They are the world&#039;s most visited website.
They have the largest mail platform, the largest international IM platform, and are #2 search and are top-3 in something like 20 or 25 different market sectors.

Social networking is hot, yes? Don&#039;t you think because of their portal structure and the amount of traffic and information they amass, that once they figure out how to properly &quot;socialize&quot; it, they immediately become a huge player in that space?

They&#039;re not stupid. They know it, and that&#039;s exactly what they&#039;re doing. The people who say &quot;Yahoo! doesnt make the right moves and I don&#039;t care, blah blah blah&quot; like #2 are idiots. Y! is the #1 most visited website in the world for a reason. They know how to attract and keep people. Now to make it even more sticky, make it social for a huge, attractive, and importantly money-spending demographic that currently existing sites cannot market for..

Seriously people. What the fuck do you think they&#039;re working on?</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@20: AGAIN, I must try to inject some common sense into TC comments about Yahoo!.</p>
<p>They are the world&#8217;s most visited website.<br />
They have the largest mail platform, the largest international IM platform, and are #2 search and are top-3 in something like 20 or 25 different market sectors.</p>
<p>Social networking is hot, yes? Don&#8217;t you think because of their portal structure and the amount of traffic and information they amass, that once they figure out how to properly &#8220;socialize&#8221; it, they immediately become a huge player in that space?</p>
<p>They&#8217;re not stupid. They know it, and that&#8217;s exactly what they&#8217;re doing. The people who say &#8220;Yahoo! doesnt make the right moves and I don&#8217;t care, blah blah blah&#8221; like #2 are idiots. Y! is the #1 most visited website in the world for a reason. They know how to attract and keep people. Now to make it even more sticky, make it social for a huge, attractive, and importantly money-spending demographic that currently existing sites cannot market for..</p>
<p>Seriously people. What the fuck do you think they&#8217;re working on?</p>

		<description>This is an interesting move and one I think the people who surround that institution should think about. I don&#039;t think it is a smart move since it looks like much of this might be haggling and/or business dealings and formalities. It seems premature to sue.

The people who surround that organization should look at the leadership and consider whether this was a wise move by their leadership.</description>

		<description>This reminds me of that $10 dry cleaning bill dispute that resulted in the $67 million civil suit last year. Ridiculous use of the judicial system.</description>

		<description>What idiocy. So this institutional investor holds just $421,600 worth of Yahoo stock (13,600 @ $31) and rather than selling decides it would be better to sue.  The MSFT offer to YHOO earned Wayne County a 62% premium and somehow they think suing YHOO is going to get them an ever better return? How much are they going to sue for seeing as how they&#039;re only into YHOO for such piddling amount? And how much would going through with the suit cost them?</description>

		<description>Looks like Yahoo is falling apart these days.
So many mistakes and misfortunes on this company that I see it as a bleeding Godzilla that tries to survive but anything it does makes it worse.
Good article about it by Adam Lashinsky in the last issue of Fortune magazine (yeah, I am a former Business 2.0 subscriber).

Looks like they&#039;re going down and I do not see another opportunity for them that would be at least as good as the Msft offer.

Too bad...</description>

		<description>This country has caused its own problems with letting any idiot sue anyone for anything. I think its ridiculous that they would even be allowed to file a lawsuit against yahoo for not selling. On the flip side, i bet some idiot would sue yahoo if they did sell, both ideas should be struck down by any court. I guess next we should sue the government because the candidate that gets elected isnt who we wanted. Sue them! How very lame.</description>

		<description>Agree with #16. I own nearly as many shares as the folks in Michigan so I guess I should think about suing, too.</description>
