MSFT buyout of YHOO rumor.

That is the biggest pile of garbage I've read on this thread. You actually think intelligent executives at MSFT consider a company with an office building and a bunch of PC's worth buying for that price.

All someone needs to do is create a better web portal, and with the value of Yahoo, and fickle PC users, they could hire one hundred thousand people for a long time to create it. MSFT never gets it right on the first or second try, but eventually they do it.

Take Frontpage. They bought it from a bunchof kids at Vremeer (?) for 'only' 100 million and have made a billion on it already in a few years. How could you possibly make moeny from a 300 billion investment in Yahoo. You can't. EVERYONE knows that. It's crazy that you would even WISH FOR THIS. The stock would TANK, and I would be out in a second.

MSFT is for real. YAHOO is a joke of an investment. Laughing all the way to the bank maybe for some, but I couldn't sleep with that over my head. Anyone who holds Yahoo after seeing people starting to bail is a gambler. I may be proved wrong again on that stock as I almost shorted it twice over the course of the last 6 months. (gulp!) Glad I didn't.
