Microsoft gains nothing with yahoo, what msft needs to look at is aapl > video and multimedia is the key not search.

yahoo shareholders are as dim as their users. they’ll take the stock to the mid-20s hoping for jerry to pull a rabbit that might levitate the stock again.

over time the stock will drift under $20 and bounce around. don’t look for too much drama tomorrow, yahoo shareholders are as indecisive as their users.

jerry won’t go. it must be obvious at this point that the reason he pushed back on all of this is because he legitimately believes he is a steve jobs-type character who can do for apple what the real steve did after gil amelio nearly destroyed the company. this is pure arrogance and ego at work. he’ll just trot out the same old yahoo storyline - “give me three more quarters!”, and shareholders will keep trading in vain. shareholders will never muster the balls to oust him.

Why Y! insisted wanting $4 a share more?

I’m predicting Yahoo at $15, and Yang & Co. forced out by shareholders within a few months.

At the very least, Yahoo will be in court for the next 2 years, and will be paying out a LOT in legal costs, and restitution to mis-served shareholders….

Been nice knowing ya, Yahoo…
Ballmer called your bluff.

@will…I wouldn’t be holding my breath (or money) for Yahoo to get back up to $30 anytime soon, short of a PE white knight. They’re going to see how nice it is to be on their own, but having said that, I can’t blame them for running from MS either.

Any shareholder who is “angry” about this is a fool. If they wanted to invest in Microsoft, they should’ve bought Microsoft stock. The fact that Yahoo! has enough cahones to not allow themselves to be steamrolled into oblivion by the Web Witless Wonder is a sign of strength.

First, you don’t have 20 million dollars. You probably don’t have 2 dollars. Second, YHOO wasn’t trading at over 20 before MS came in. YHOO will drop into the high teens unless they come out with an announcement on Monday with GOOG. The question is, what will happen to MS shares? MS had enough money to buy YHOO and then some, and they’ve never had any long term debt. Will people see this as MS saving a ton of cash on crappy target, or will they see this as a blow to the juggernaut of Microsoft/Oracle Acquiror power and send the stock down a buck or two?

would Microsoft still be interested months from now to buy a weaker Yahoo? I think what Microsoft was interested was not the technology but its market position, and if that becomes weaker, it might not be that cool to get it anymore.

Arrington has been commended to spread all the FUD about Yahoo’s stock.

“A lie repeated one thousand times becomes true”

So, how is propaganda 101 going?

If Yahoo tanks below $20, I’ll buy a million shares for I know it will recover over $30s in less than a week and I’ll laugh my ass to the bank.

Thanks M$ for making me rich!

Huge spread of puts from 27.50 down to 20 with spikes at 27.50 and 25. But that was of course as of Friday. Some recent investors will hold out for another MSFT bid, but my estimate is that YHOO closes Monday around 21 then declines over the next 2Q to the mid teens as future MSFT negotiations collapse.

Ballmer is doing great and he is still the guy for the job (remember that Gates is still pulling the strings, and Ballmer is Gates’s best friend.)

Yahoo’s stock was up more than 10% (including after hours activity) last Friday night, on speculation that a deal would happen.

What if there’s no more deal ahead? Yahoo’s stock will drop,
Gordon (Crawford) will call his buddy Terry (Semel), who will call his friend Jerry (Yang), who will realize that nobody’s happy (read really pissed) with the withdraw from Microsoft.

I think Microsoft are testing what a withdraw would do to Yahoo’s stock.
The week end is the perfect time to do it.

If they are really walking away, then Yahoo is lucky and I’m happy about it.

But if history repeats itself, there’s more to come from the Redmont Behemoth… and now, they have the big guys on their side.
