  too much greed and Yahoo lost a golden opportunity, an opportunity that knocks the door only once. Ofcourse i have nothing to gain or lose but it appears many Yahoo shareholders will have a Blue Monday and in Japan Worst Wednesday.

  This whole sorry episode just epitomises the short termist and illogical nature of the stockmarket. Shareholders have a lack of business information to know what they are talking or investing into as their "business interest" is the term used to describe/cover their basic nature of greed and drives the market of so called "analysts" who know a little more than the average FT reader about underlying business activties.

  I originally wished that this "merger/take-over" would happen as I sensed that this would be a step too far for the Vole and tip it over like a humpty dumpty. The hope being that this would change the whole IT market.....never mind.....but it will happen, its just a matter of time...

  I think Yang pushed it too far. He hoped Microsoft would increase it's bid and it backfired.

  If Yahoo! was in the $45B range then how much is Microsoft valued at? And even Google. Perhaps they asked for a very high price so that they don't get bought out. Greedy shareholders obviously wants to cash in, but what's a couple more million when they have tons already? Many believe that Yang has something up his sleeve. The company has the potential to remain independant and further growth. Just watch.
