I don’t really care what reason they give; I’m just glad they rejected it. I want Yahoo! to stay the way it is as it’s been my preferred portal forever.

After a series of meetings over the past week, Yahoo's board determined that the $31 per share offer "massively undervalues" Yahoo, the person said. The market has said it was only worth about $22 a week ago.

Yahoo will come to regret their lack of vision.

Yahoo's board believes that Microsoft's is trying to take advantage of the recent weakness in the company's share price to "steal" the company. The people who bought Yahoo at 180 must be asking recent weakness, Did I miss out on some recent strength?

The board is crapping all over shareholders. Microsoft offered a 60% premium for Yahoo stock and the board says the offer isn’t enough?!?
They are acting in their own best interests, not in the interests of shareholders. Yahoo will be down big on Monday on the news.
To: CaliGangsta
stockholder should sue the board for malfeasance...the offer is way over the value...if yahoo stock sinks and the company goes down the tube....microsoft will by the carcass for a song!!!!
To: John Jorsett
They(share holders) turn it down at their peril.

Yahoo has more website hits/views than both MSN and Google combined....so ‘down the tube’ not likely. Yahoo just doesn’t have the resources of either Microsoft or Google.

Won’t matter squat, when Hillary/McCain become president these entities will be nationalized. All in the name of the common good. The internet will be controlled by the msm and the fairness doctrine will be applied ten fold. Bloggers will be required to allow ten postings of different views for every view they express. Think I’m kidding? It’s the way socialists think.
