Despite rumors of this bid, I don’t think Yahoo is the position to be taken over. Their fluctuating stock price isn’t anything particularly new, even if it’s been down lately. I think it will be a while before we see any acquisitions or mergers come by.

You are mostly correct, but for the fact that MSFT just hired YHOO’s top search guy. Ballmer is clueless in search but if he lets Dr. Qi Lu do is job and stays the hell out of the way, MSFT may actually make up some ground. No I grant you that Ballmer keeping his massive ego in check to allow this to happen isn’t 100% certain but you would think after his horrible year in ‘08 that he’d let others do what they were hired to do. Ballmer will ultimately do a deal with YHOO ( nothing like what is described in this article ) but nonetheless Ballmer will do a search deal with YHOO and let Dr. Lu do what Yang was woefully incapable of doing, which was to monetize in a meaningful way, YHOO’s once dominate search business.
