Do you think Yahoo is smart in holding off for more money for the company?Should they take the offer and run?

Question

Yahoo Microsoft Deal

Answer 1

There is no offer to take -

From the WSJ 5/10/08 -

Microsoft Corp. released potential proxy board members from their agreements to serve in the event it made a hostile bid for Yahoo Inc., following the software giant's decision last weekend to end its effort to buy the Internet company.

Members of the proxy board received a short email from Microsoft's law firm Sullivan & Cromwell Thursday morning, five days after Microsoft announced it was dropping its unsolicited bid for Yahoo after an unsuccessful three-month courtship. Neither a Microsoft nor Yahoo spokesman could be reached for comment.

The move is a clear sign that Microsoft isn't planning a sudden reversal of its decision and comes amid speculation that Microsoft and Yahoo sides will restart talks as several large shareholders have expressed their disappointment that a deal wasn't reached.

Answer 2

I think google is best; personally.

Answer 3

Very interesting, I think with the poor outcome of vista to the genral public microsoft is still a very key player but  letting other market players catch up.

Yahoo are strong in the game  and maybe it was a key move by them to ask for more. I don't think microsoft will give in easy to higer demands, I dont think the deal will go through personally speaking.

Answer 4

I think that yahoo should take the deal..I agree with iccahn...yahoo is stagnant and can gain from merging with MSFT.

Answer 5

Answer 6
