Yahoo and Microsoft: Another Viewpoint
byRead what David Kottke has to say about the Microsoft/Yahoo deal. His viewpoint seems insightful, and it is 180 degrees from what most of the financial press is reporting in light of today’s Yahoo stock losses. Bottom line – at least at the close of the market Monday – Yahoo’s stock worth is still up $7 billion over its value just prior to the Microsoft offer. In contrast, Microsoft’s stock is worth $33 billion less today than the day before they offered a Yahoo buyout.
