I'm wondering if he had money in Yahoo stock right before the merger attempt, or a big bet going. It's one thing to report on actual events but the last couple months he has been pushing the "Yahoo is doomed" BS relentlessly.

What's your problem here? Yes, the company has made some serious mistakes in the past but look, it still stands today as one of the most valuable internet brands reaching 3/4 of online population in US. Users still love and use stuff from Yahoo! every day. Please - stop creating these unproductive and sensational stories (yawn)...
