Technology king Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) bid 44.6 billion dollars in cash and stock to acquire Yahoo (YHOO) today. Microsoft???s chief executive Steve Ballmer said that they have a great respect for Yahoo and along with MSN, they could offer an increasingly exciting mix in the search engine world. Yahoo was not available for comment but I???m sure that we will be hearing quite a bit from the media scene in the next couple of days.Yahoo shares rose 56% to 29.65 in premarket trading on Friday following the announcement of the potential Yahoo sale. U.S. Stock futures also jumped after hearing the news.

I actually read an article the other day that said Yahoo was having a rough time. Maybe they are going to accept? It will be interesting to see.

I don't want to get off topic, but GOOG stock dropped 50 dollars, and YHOO jumped up 9.

I can't wait to see whats going to happen tomorrow.:):)

Hunter1 · 02-03-2008, 11:35 PM

Well I think that Goog might have a chance at this yet because now Yahoo is saying that the stock at 32 bucks is under valued and they are going to re-visit talks that they had a few months ago with Goog to possibly form a business alliance!

This will get more interesting yet!!!

I also heard that Yahoo is thinking about considering Google's offer.

weblord · 02-04-2008, 07:48 PM

they are still living in the spirit of bill gates, and also if they can't join it, they have to buy it.

yes Yahoo board Declined Microsoft's Offer

Neusha G. · 04-30-2008, 09:30 PM

Just for an update for everyone, MSN had a meeting tonight to decide on Yahoo!

"Faced with the same options it has been facing for some time, Microsoft's board apparently just couldn't choose one of the options.

The Wall Street Journal reported late Wednesday that Microsoft's directors failed to decide on a next step for the software maker amid Yahoo's unwillingness to negotiate a deal. The software maker is said to be weighing whether to go directly to Yahoo shareholders and at what price, whether to just nominate its own slate of directors, or whether to walk away from its bid.

Citing sources close to the matter, the Journal said an announcement is expected "later in the week.""
