If he really thought he could get $37, he obviously would have started the negotiation with a higher number. I'm sure that he thought that if MS would bid $33, he could get them to around $35, which was not an unreasonable bet. But Ballmer called his bluff and walked on him. Now Yang is stuck having to explain why the stock is worth $37 as an independent company, while the rest of the investing universe thinks it is worth $26 (today's price, which includes a premium from speculators who believe MS will come back at some point). Can all these investors be dumber than Yang? Or did Ballmer just outsmart him and deftly set the stage for shareholders to shoot him?

Tech Crunch’s Erick Schonfeld speculates that this could be why there was that small rally in Yahoo stock yesterday, which makes sense. Now that Microsoft has walked away, if Yahoo approached them to start negotiating again, we believe Microsoft would have an easier time of getting the price that they want at $33 per share, the ball would be in their court.

If Microsoft was about to take over Yahoo, I was willing to give up my yahoo accounts and never go on Yahoo ever again. I know I'm being baby about it but isn't the same thing about shareholders being baby about the losing the bid from Microsoft.
