Everyone Sue YHOO!

Fucking ridiculous. The assholes at [[YHOO]] will feel the “blade of billable hours” for this one.

NOTE: At best, YHOO is worth $18.

    It’s kinda sad for YHOO shareholders that Jerry Yang didn’t accept MSFT’s offer. I wouldn’t be surprised if YHOO shares see $20 tomorrow. I haven’t decided if I’ll do anything with YHOO but I might sell my MSFT shares if they pop tomorrow.

    Don’t be surprised if the deal eventually gets done down the road. In the meantime YHOO shareholders will suffer.

    I spent hours on a content-chocked-full post over in the PG, and it mysteriously disappears after I post it.

    Hahahahah looks like someone had Yahoo calls and MSFT puts huh?

    Pleaseee…a more intelligent NO-RISK approach to this…would be to BUY GOOGLE CALLS…cause its a win-win situation if you look at it.

    Boca,

    YHOO shareholders have been suffering since Jan. 06 from the looks of the chart. Glad I wasn’t one of them.

    HI TG! I agree they’ve been suffering for a long time. I’m glad I don’t own it either.

    BTW it’s happened to me before that a post I thought I made in the PG didn’t show up, not sure if it was something I did or WordPress did. Try it again later perhaps, if you have a copy of the post.

    Split adjusted, YHOO hasn’t moved in years. It’s only $3 above where I sold back in ’02 or something.

    Terry Semel gutted the company with a vision to make it a media destination. He consolidated weird divisions to a Santa Monica office (even Yahoo Finance). Lost great talent. Natahan Rischardson was GM of finance. left to run Dow Jones and Marketwatch, which is a much better destination now.

    Lost great talent to Google pre IPO.

    Funny thing – my friends at GOOG report the same shift. Company to big and too slow. Top talent leaving GOOG. GOOG CIO went to my competitor as head of the digital music biz. Noteworthy is GOOGs appoitment of a Wall Streeter into that slot and other top slots. i bet GOOG goes on an M&A tear, maybe to roll up YHOO?

    Imagine YHOO implementing GOOG search, abandoning Panama; gives GOOG a glimpse into the power of monetization across YHOO network. A YHOO GOOG deal might make sense.

    Oddly enough this film appeared immediately following one of the biggest crashes.

    You guys understand I totally knew Yang would stand firm, right? Now he looks like a total idiot, and we’ll scoop up YHOO for $15, in a few months. They won’t refuse next time. See, while Yang was rubbing it out to USENET porn in college, me and Bill were playing poker. HA HA HA. Hey sorry! Didn’t mean to splash sweat on you guys.

    Did you guys know? In Chinese, “Yang” means “bespectacled one, who fucks over his shareholders”. I just looked it up in Encarta.

    $20 is a good call on YHOO. I think MSFT will make another offer, I just hope they show some balls and make it a lower offer, just to cockslap that bitch Jerry Yang a bit. I see MSFT at $35 by the end of the week.
