>>>Someone on Yahoo posted a buyout rumor this afternoon. He claimed that it is from a very reliable source near the company's headquarter. <<<< Only one problem, they're generally idiots on that rag.

Highly Speculative I looked at the Yahoo board with the Cirrus messages, and it seems like someone is just planting something. Maybe I am wrong but I scrolled through a number of the other messages and I saw alot of name calling, fighting etc.... If a buyout does ever happen that'll be great, we'll all profit, but in the mean time, i'll keep to looking at the fundamentals and financials, products that come out, not the Yahoo board... Chi, what's your take on things here? I've really enjoyed reading and participating on this board, and really appreciate the repsect and civility of all the posters here. Good Luck everyone....(and if there are any truths to the rumor, we should see a big jump in volume again right?) The dialer

Chi; It would not surprise me, look at the last part of this post. Message 3477358 I havent heard anything, and do not heed the rumors.. I see the likleyhood of a buy out from the price to sales ratio, and the general nature of consolidation, with the larger caps seeing that market share is often more importent than product..look at the junk Microsoft can put out, all because they got market share. To them that's the name of the game. Look at what AOL gets away with, once you have market share keep it, buy any up and coming compitition, before a rival does, or at least get controaling intrest.
