Major Fallout: Yahoo Shareholders, Employees React to Deal's Demise

yo son i think elliot spitzer is a hot leaf as a candidate what do you guys think? Bear Sterns? please reply!!!

Bravo...MSFT sucks. They don't innovate or create anything. The stock is unchanged over the last 10 years. I would not want to partner with them. Yahoo needs to be broken up into pieces instead of having everything under the same umbrella. Then their value will be fully maximized.

shareholders of yahoo are getting screwed. There is no way in hell that Yand should get away with using yahoo as his private company and disregarding the shareholders. $33 is better than 23 anyday. Lawsuits will fly and is Yang wants more than why does he not buy out this company or purchase the stock with all the money Yahoo has at this cheap a price. He should go to prison for his stupidity.

Yeah jerry. I can't wait till msft aquires yahoo for $17 early next year. Things are looking rosy. p.s. I was glad to finally dump my yhoo shares after some one made a bid.

i am a financial advisor and i had a large mutual fund portfolio manager deliver commentary to my investment team. his fund is a large cap growth fund and we talked in length about the microsoft-yahoo deal since they have a very large google position. he was 100% right on target and said microsoft would w/drawal their bid on yahoo and that the deal was nothing but hot air. i have seen him 2x in 3 years and his predictions are extremely accurate. next time i meet, i'll take better notes.

MSFT split awhile ago and is now at $30, so please get your facts together. I have owned MSFT for several years, I believe it was up around $80 before the split. MSFT does NOT need Jerry's YHOO to be successful...it would have been a win-win situation, but Jerry's ego got caught in the proverbial wringer, and now he has to sweat it out. I see YHOO's stock dropping like the lead bomb it is. YHOO is second at the very best, and not getting that much better....there's a brain drain and this fiasco is adding to it. GET OVER IT, JERRY!

It was Yahoo biggest mistake everrrrrrrrrr.. Shareholders should sue their CEO. I am sure Micrososft would still buy them but for a much lower price

i hope not only yang gets sued but he loses everything. this might end up being the single biggest stockholder screwing since enron.

Yahoo! is worth alot more than what Microsoft is bargaining for. I believe that, in the short to long term scenerio, Yahoo! will come up on top of all these scrutiny. Given the size and brightness(or uniqeness) of Yahoo!'s employees, Yahoo! has much more advantage over Microsoft and Google in terms of online services scale. I wouldn't mind buying Yahoo! stock and being an employee of their company.

Hey Pam K.....MSFT is unchanged over the last 10 years on a split adjusted basis. You would have made more money with a CD at your local bank than investing in MSFT.

Selling Yahoo! Or Not... Jerry will run Yahoo to the ground!!

the only person on the planet dumber than yang is me for not selling when the deal was first anounced......how do i get on board for the upcomming lawsuits

Wang has to get over his Luke Skywalker against Darth Vader neurosis. He better have an excellent plan B with Google and make a big increase in cash flow or he should be removed. He's living in the past.

Jerry i am not from the financial field but i can say one thing what you have done is right in all aspect Microsoft need the domain like yahoo for having good coverage and sales of its basic OS. So what you have done is fine and i appreciate that you have taken good discesion. Some or the other day they will rewart back to you. Make sure to explain this value to all the fellow staff. Wish you all the best and sucess

Hey!!!! All they are tring to do is get Yahoo stock to drop so they can BUY BUY at a Rock Bottom price, we should be Buying an when it goes up Sell.

Has anyone seen the movie IDIOCRACY? Jerry should play the starring role. He better pray that the google partnership makes enough click throughs to earn some money. I was in the internet business, when a company relies on other companies for click through cash, that basically means they do not have the power to do it on there own and they are on the way down. I lost cash over this weekend because of his decisions, I hope he feels the heat and doesnt sleep well until the stock comes back up or he resigns. Good Move Dummy.

Nice job Jerry. You think $37. The market thinks $19 - $24. You're not THAT smart. By the way. What have you done lately on the core business front? Search still sucks. Advertising isn't doing much. Music is dominated by someone else. The world's passing you by. Drift lower is my guess. Dead company walking.

Seems to em like we have more short-term traders than we do long-term investors commenting on this. Personally, I believe Yahoo will return considerably more to investors than Microsoft will over the next few years. Unless you need the cash short term, this broken deal is probably a plus for Yahoo *investors*, longer term.
