For anyone who owns YHOO, from a stock market perspective the stock could easily return from whence it came ($19) if MSFT deal falls thru and no one else comes forward...if i owned it i would consider it a gift horse right now :)

Quoting myself, theres got to be something wrong with that...but see what I mean, the Market was giving them good $ and they should have taken it (you too if you own it). Yahoo opens @ 28 after MSFT offer and after 2 weeks manages to hit $30.25, today it closed at $25.85. Selling has come in here and I doubt anyone else is going to make an offer.

If I'm MSFT I'm saying to Yahoo, you know what, I'm going to lower my offer, you just aren't worth it :)

YHOO currently @ 23.27
Yahoo blew it and screwed shareholders.
Probably going to partner with Google for search ads.

Just took another look at this specific topic out of curiosity. Yahoo did continue it's downtrend, eventually going as low as $8.94 in Nov 2008. That's a 70% loss from the high of the MSFT offer I mentioned back in 2008 (above). Yahoo didn't reach this high again ($30.25) until Sept 2013. This would constitute a 5 year period of "dead money" for anyone that held on during this period, only to enjoy a price of $46.46 today.
