>> I wonder who would have paid more than $100 Million in cash ?<,
Bezos? Now here's a man with $cash. He's got a $bil to burn until his junk bond holders and MS get concerned.
Oh! I forgot he pays in stock too.
Ps
Market ready to open. Internets will rock n roll. Due to the yhoo/bcst deal. Will let my long shares run for a while, then if they get tired. I'll put the lid on the longs and then let my short shares run for a bit.

I wonder who would have paid more than $100 Million in cash ?

I'm pretty certain MSFT would have payed $1B in cash for BCST yesterday if they had the chance. But they didn't; to a large extent, the market determines the price of the acquired company.
