Icahn's Agenda: Get Shareholder Support, Revive MSFT-YHOO Talks

Ask yourself one question, would Yang have accepted the the $33 he was once offered? I'm sure he would so put your tail between your legs Yang and get it done now so shareholders can overwhelmingly approve and move on.

Jerry Yang! don't be so selfish! You have been so rich, so lucky for so long now is the time to give millions of shareholder a break!!

Get with it Yahoo, how much do you want???

Yahoo not for sale at $33. MSFT needs to fork over $34-$35 to get it done. Crawford has already said $34 so that would be the most likely scenerio. MSFT still needs YHOO more than YHOO needs MSFT. GOOG handing MSFT their butt on a place when it comes to search right now and that wont change without YHOO.

Carl is a billionaire for a reason, Jerry too. They both could and should keep buying millions more shares if they think Yhoo should be valued at 37. In the meantime, it's better to look at future deals with other smaller players, like the CNET deal, I think Local.com (LOCM) and Marchex (MCHX) will be in play soon. IACI should also sell off Ask.com, all the bigger players should be paying attention to these 3 little ones.

i like the progame.

I bought Yahoo share's on the strength of the Microsoft deal going through and had gave up hope after Mircosoft had pulled out, but with these new developments there still see a chance for a profit to be made !!

YHOO should try hard to get with Google, that's their business. Why become a department in a MSFT company? Why isn't BAIDU try to get with YHOO?

This is how the rich get richer. They join force to make more money. They are not smart, they just have more money. Why isn't Carl go and form a company on his own if he is so smart and than he can sell to MSFT.

Blodgett - When will he be indicted again?

Ichan is just using "back to MSFT negotiation" to get the support to overtake YHOO's current board. He won't settle with any offer below $40. YHOO has great assets, but lossy execution. YHOO has earnings, Icahn could cut 50% work force to make it more profitable to make MSFT pay 40 bucks. He won't care YHOO long term, just to make his 40 bucks. MSFT needs YHOO more than YHOO want to be purchased by anyone. MSFT is a big sucker now for not crashing YHOO's stock back to $20, which I think would be possible by announcing $10 billion MSFT stock buy back right after walk away - to show YHOO shareholders and specuators that he really MEANT IT! It's too later for MSFT now Ichan is in.

That idiot blodgett. Who the hell employed him to talk on these tickers. He is one stupid bum who dozn't know what hez talkin about. A freakin chameleon who keeps changing colors. I've been an ardent follower of the Microsoft - Yahoo tug of war via finance.yahoo.com and started seeing this fool speaking out loud without any logic. Nothing...I repeat NOTHING that he has so far analysed has occured and infact everything else has happened. What a fool...I'd never watch that idiot talk again.

I think MSFT probably cares less for the search engine. They are only interested in eye balls to deliver advertisments well beyond search. The question is the price per eye ball (they come in a pack of two, lol). I am sure they have plan B, C, D, all the way past Z. YHOO at 33 gets them a lot of eyeballs but they dont come cheap. My guess is that AOL is cheaper because TWTC wants out and they would still have plenty of $$ left for up and coming start-ups. It will be interesting to see how Icahn's slate is presented, if they are separate votes for each individual board member Yang is out and YHOO holders can pick and choose from the left overs. MSFT signal of a true intention to walk away will appear as play for a company like Facebook or AOL or a set of others that can deliver a significant number of eye balls.

Ballmer will come back. Deal gets done around $34. Sooner the better for everybody.

Either way, come August, I expect to see Yahoo closing at least $33.00/share.....sharks smelling blood. A real feeder frenzy !

Blodgett is a self serving lying scumbag. I do exactly opposite of what he says!
