Question

If Jerry Yang at Yahoo cant bring the stock price to the $33 MS offered within 3 months, what should be done?

Answer 1

I don't know about three months. Jerry and his board will probably get sued, but this would serve as a distraction and may have some adverse effect on the value of Yahoo!.

Jerry's first responsibility is to his investors. His affinity for the company he helped build is understandable, but it cannot cloud his reasoning. If he cannot deliver, he's gonna be on the hot seat. If microsoft's stocks appreciate in value while Yahoo!'s stagnate, the natives are going to become restless.

There is some talk that institutional investors are looking to oust the present board and replace it with a slate of candidates suggested by Microsoft. All this hinges on Balmer's willingness to return to negotiations. But already, Bill Gates has been quoted as saying both companies should pursue "seperate paths." There's no telling with these guys.

Answer 2

Merge with AOL.

Answer 3

Well, I can but no response from Yahoo! Inc so there is nothing I can do about it.
