Decker: Yahoo Isn't Abandoning Strategy with Google Deal

Sharehoder value.???????????? what value ,they need to resign gracefully

Sue you need to make this deal happen.

Advertising deal with Google? More ads? Do we have a choice?

I am going to buy a few shares of Yahoo next week just so I can vote against the idiotic management and kick out the board who are criminals or idiots. Yahoo shares are gonna be a lot cheaper; listen to Decker; they don't have a clue on how to make money or even run a decent website. I used to read the stock message boards till they chased everyone over to investor village. Google ate their lunch years ago. It sounds like Yahoo management is ready to really run this company into the ground. I am glad

What about the shameful treatment that every Yahoo! user has come to expect as their birthright, Ms Decker? And the incompetent bumbling around with failed projects like Panama, Mash and Yahoo 360? The transition to a Universal Profile System was supposed to happen "in early 2008". May doesn't qualify as that, and nor can the excuse that "Microsoft's bid distracted us" be wheeled out - let's face it, Yahoo's track record demonstrates that its incompetence is epidemic. Mic

Decker is a clueless idiot

Decker's pay last year was 24 Million. Thanks for driving Yahoo into the ground.

Wow. No wonder. Who hired her, Jerry? What a poor excuse for an executive. Until I watched this, I didn't think it could get more pathetic than "We never received the $33 in writing."

Chasing MicroSoft away was the stupidest thing Jerry and Gang could do. Don't they have any obligation to their shareholders. Who want to wait another 4 or 5 uncertain years for the Yahoo stock to rise to $33 or above. Since Yahoo Management is a bunch of idiots, MicroSoft should have gone directly to the shareholders. MicroSoft pls come back (:

ya-who?

Imagine abt the emp of yahoo with the greatest CEO they have...ha ha

You all are crazy, Yeah the microsoft deal would have been great short term stock price, But do you really want microsoft A company that has no people skills at all(just look at their website) owning yahoo?. Microsoft has come out with one great product(only because that product has a monopoly is it considered great). Yep I want microsoft owning yahoo making the page loads 45 seconds each and tying in security crap on every page. microsoft has failed miserably in the internet game(check their lousy browser or search engine). have been a slow painfull

Yahoo is probably the worst managed company in techland. Not to mention Sue Decker is just a tool... she can't even sound confident in her own fabricated 'interview' (although the interviewer is quite positive and giggly -- tee hee hee, silly shareholders wanting money for their shares). It's obvious, she doesn't know what they are going to do next. I know what I am going to do... Hold Microsoft and Sell Yahoo!

Yahoo has the second largest market share in the business. Microsoft will never have that unless they buy yahoo and they know it. Yahoo is worth $40 a share. I'll tell you why. It is highly unlikely that Microsoft to raise such market share with $50 billion. It takes talent to attract users to your web site. Yahoo has that talent, probably not with the executives but it sure does with the software developers. Microsoft is going down hill if they don't buy Yahoo. Just look at Windows Vista, it was a total failure. People are not updating as usual to their new products.

JR ding ding ding we have a winner, Of course people on here are whining because they are greedy and want that fast stock push that yahoo would get if microsoft buys yahoo. But the bottom line is long term it would be absolute suicide to team up with a company who has tons of money but very little innovation the higher ups know that partnering with microsoft would be a slow death. so all you people whining just need to get ungreedy and look long term or get out and don't ever use yahoo again!

Yahoo! Microsoft is a peice of crap and they would have turned Yahoo into the same. Yahoo the evil demon has been salin.

as a yahoo user, I sure don't want msft to own them. I've got enough trouble with my windows op system and other microsoft programs without adding a flawed inet experience to the mix. I think yahoo has done a decent, if not outstanding, job of making a great portal and offering some very good services. If someone doesn't like them I wonder what they prefer?

You people are too shortsighted - a larger offer will come along-soon

Yes Yahoo can be $40 or $50 in 3 to 4 yrs so as the chance to being $15 in a few months. I still cannot belive Yahoo walk away from the $33.. No one says you cannot take the profit and invest into another IT company if the image of MS bothers people. I am waiting to see what Yahoo does to justify a $37 value. It is at $24 now...so we are looking at a 50% up from current share price. I suggest all the mgmt at Yahoo put the $ to where their mouth is.... Start buying Yahoo shares because it worths $37. None of those "if we can do this and we can do that we will hit $37 " If mgmt themselves in Yahoo don't have confidence themelves to see the push to $37 is achievable by putting their $ in the company... why should MS believe in the fairy tale?
