It's becoming a good tradition. Every time when it's earnings time, a Yahoo gossip comes to boost our moral and the stock price. SAN FRANCISCO, April 27 — Is Yahoo planning another multi-billion acquisition to boost its portal strategy? That was the buzz at the Hambrecht and Quist Technology Conference on Tuesday. Analysts here say Yahoo may be setting its sites on the online bill payment company CheckFree Holdings Corp., and could spring for a purchase of all or part of the company in the very near future. msnbc.com I hope that it is just what it is - a gossip. Any price is too cheap at this point. A suggestion that deal for CheckFree could cost an estimated $3 billion at CF's current market cap 2.5 billion barely qualifies for idiotic one. With all that said, extra publicity doesn't hurt and "CheckFree is the sole provider of online bill payment services" sounds good on MSN site.
