Wow, I love it when a bunch of engineers and wannabe richie-richs comment on a hackish tech blog as if they know anything about corporate financing, wealthy asshole’s investment patterns, or decision-level shareholders.

Clearly TechCrunch is where those in-the-know hang out and comment. You pathetic losers.

King Icahn is back in the big game.
That’ll be a hell of a show and Yahoo is not the likely winner in all this

@jenkins – Icahn is not in it for the long run, he doesn’t care if Yahoo is a dog of a company. He’ll buy in at around $26. hold a proxy battle, negotiate with MSFT and sell at $33+. It’s all about the benjamins baby.

Does he know how bad a company Yahoo is these days? People over the are jumping ship faster than the sinking Titanic.

Yang and co. have no chance against Ichan. The party is over if he gets involved.

Could get interesting.

Maybe MSFT sensed that others would help them in ultimately closing.

I bet Icahn and Balmer talk often.

I hope Icahn gets involved. He usually does when entrenched management does self-serving things.

I’m thinking, why didn’t MS go hostile on Yahoo after the initial drop in stock value… Wouldn’t it make sense?

Now thats what I would have done too.
Balmer made a strategic move by dropping MSFT’s bid, he knew ppl inside YHOO want to get acquired.
At first to entice the animal you get close to it (abt 50%) then the rest 50% it walks itself to you.

Looks like the stock price will go up, then everybody at Yahoo will get the axe.
