Would you take $5 billion (that's a 5 followed by 9, count 'em NINE zeros) from Microsoft for Yahoo

Depends on whether you favour a low short term return or a high long term return.

Rumour has it that Yahoo was on the verge of releasing a suite of cloud-computing apps similar to Google.

It's obvious that windows live isn't able to compete - just look at Hotmail vs Gmail and Yahoo.

They were trying to crush Yahoo before they become a serious office suite contender.

if i were going to exit i would expect at least 30.00B for my company..

but i think YHOO is just a troubled company at this time... does not look like it will be going YHOO.Q (bankrupt symbol) any time soon! so i would hold onto the stock for dear life and ride it up when it goes up!

i love talking about business and stock :D

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

I am all for quick money, so I'd take the money and retire. Wanting more then 5 billion is just being greedy :D
