The only caveat is where there is gross negligence in running the business. But that is a different story all together. I think the best thing an unhappy share-holder can do is liquidate.

Who's to say that Yahoo doesn't pull out some kind of ace from out of nowhere (it's a long shot, but hey, you never know). If every company that turned down an impromptu offer from another company got sued, then companies would stop going public. Anyone know who are the people / organizations suing Yahoo? @3: I do, but a minor stockholder would have more power by removing their investment then by suing the company just because.

I don't understand how a lawsuit will do much of anything, any settlement (if there is one) just ends up being paid with lower share values.

Seems like it might have been a better solution for a longer term payout and they would have made some cash in the interrim. Not 100% sure why suing a public company because they did something different than what you wanted because your very small share of stock belies that you have very little voice in the running of a larger company. But so the world turns.
