YHOO Rallies on False Hopes? Don't Assume MSFT Deal or Big GOOG Payday

I love the openness with which Henry and Aaron are reporting the actual facts and in a way reflect the sentiments of Yahoo employees! must watch!

buy aci now .it will go on up this year.

I wish those talking heads had some minimum level of intellegence. Microsoft is aHIGH IQ company. Ballmer is a sharp intellegent individual and he dealt with Yahoo in a sincer honest way all along.

Forget tech! Buy infrastructure ABB NOW!!!

Yahoo worth only $18/share

If I was a share holder in Microsoft, I'd be raising hell with Steve Ballamer. Why? I wouldn't pay that price for Yahoo! to begin with. I personally think that Yahoo! is overvalued as it is. If you compare it to the average PE ratios, it should be half of what it's been at. Even then, I don't see this as a great oppurtunity. I think this whole thing is a pissing contest to spite Google or try to get Google to come to Microsoft through the technological web that exists. If the management predicitons from Yahoo! come to fruition, great. They need to focus on that to build the bussiness instead of getting bought out. Now, if Ballamer is that serious (and questionable in reasoning on this), let the stock fall to nothing and then go hostile. Why pay $30 or more a share when it's over inflated, and bound to fall from this? If there is something viable in all this, let the price drop and buy it on the cheap-quietly.

If MSFT doesn't come out and continue to pursue its bid for Yahoo then I wonder how far YHOO shares will fall, after all, they've risen so much based on this takeover offer. I think that I will buy some YHOO put options.

If I waned to own Yahoo I would have bought shares. I do not want to be in advertising, on line banking, any of that stuff. I like technology, period,. I want to stay with Microsoft but will sell if they get tempted by whomever is pushing Yahoo for THEIR profit.

MSFT could have bought YHOO for $18 a share in the open market 3 months ago. That's what the deal is worth, no more no less. Steve Ballmer can write a check for the excess funds to the shareholders who have been patient with MSFT over the last 5-7 years where the stock ahas done nothing.

People don't understand that Yahoo is right behind Google, & of course it's worth more than that, MSN search is way at the button & where only hope is Yahoo, they can't afford the #1 which is Google. Without this deal MSN search is Dead. This 2 idiots are just mad cause the stock if going up again. I got my some shares yesterday & i hope it goes down even more cause i have use MSN search & i know it's dead already, search is all about yahoo & google right now

Get some new management in Yahoo -- that stock should be worth 10x it is now considering that Goog is worth $500 plus....

Every time I watch these Tech Ticker talking heads it just reinforces Yahoo's weakness in content. These two guys will take five minutes to say what could be easily be covered in two minutes. If this is an example of what Microsoft would have purchased with Yahoo, then they made the right move by walking away.

dont EVER trust what Henry Blodgett says Period!

Yahoo is right behind Google? Not a chance!

I agree with Michael S. Blodget is a moron. He drank the Kool Aid during Web 1.0 and now is trying to be relevant again. If he was a real player, he would have built a web company rather than trying to sound smart commenting on others.

Wasn't it Blodgett that said Bear Stearns wasn't in any kind of trouble and the next day they sank like the Titanic. If anything take the advice they give and do the opposite.

AS THIS CONTINUES, IT JUST STRENGTHENS AN ALREADY STRONG GOOGLE. LOOK FOR GOOG TO HIT 650 IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS......
