Can you say, “Proxy Fight?”

[John Jorsett]

BILL GATES ANGRY!

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.

That won’t make stockholders happy.

[mkjessup]

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?

[CaliGangsta]

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.

[Phlap]

They(share holders) turn it down at their peril.

[Uncle Hal]

Wow. This is going to get very interesting.

[mhx]

If they don’t 44 billion, I’m willing to take some of it.

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.

I’m glad Yahoo is rejecting the offer, not for their sake, but for Microsoft’s sake.

It appears MS wants to get a leg up on Google, or at least compete.

Buying Yahoo is not the way to do that. Yahoo is content-heavy. That is not what MS needs. MS already has a content-heavy MSN.com.

Frankly I can’t see what MS finds attractive in Yahoo.

Maybe it’s the name “Yahoo” and the general appeal of that name. 44 billion for a name? Not when I can pull another equally appealing name out of the air... for free.

Maybe it’s the market share Yahoo has. But what good is that market share if revenue from that market share is dropping?

Yahoo search capabilities? They don’t hold a candle to Google. Not even in the same league. Plus MSN has search capaility more or less equal to Yahoo.

No, I don’t see what MS finds attractive in Yahoo.
