Microsoft (MSFT) has just announced a 44.6 Billion $ bid for Yahoo (YHOO)!!!!
Thats offering 31$ per YHOO share. YHOO closed Thursday at 19 / share.
This should be huge in many ways!
Tech, of course has been waiting for a move like this,
BUT more importantly:
WHEN stocks sink low enough...
BUYERS come in!
This is what makes FREE MARKET CAPITALISM work!

Microsoft offers 44 Billion for YahooIf the offer is accepted (and it will be), should Yahoo change its name? How 'bout... Micro-hoo? |

Microsoft offers 44 Billion for YahooHistory has shown that money has gone from pennies having purchasing power to larger coins, then dollars and all inbetween up to a thousand/thousands, and then it quickly went to a million and even more quickly it has become billions....then there will be trillions and on and on - we will have to invent new names for all the amounts the future will bring. Any positive news for the economy is most welcome, indeed! Micro-hoo is a good suggestion! |

Microsoft offers 44 Billion for YahooIf this goes through, do you think that Bill Gates will be promoted to diety status? He is already pretty much in " The Great and Powerful Oz" territory, so I was just wondering? |

Microsoft offers 44 Billion for YahooWatch out Google indeed! GOOG drops 48 points today on the news. Thats 8 % drop today when most all tech was up! Brilliant move by Microsoft IMHO! 31 $ a share is very fair offer. Thats just 3 $ off Yahoo 52 week high. I feel very sure this will get past the anti-trust Dept. as it currently exists. Better get this deal done before a new regime takes over next year... Its a slam dunk now! Bigd back to Top 100! 'Bout time! |

Microsoft offers 44 Billion for YahooBigd back to Top 100! 'Bout time! Thanks Skydog. So far, in my informal polling, most posters received nice rep bumps this afternoon when they put the new scoring system in place. It is still buggy a bit, as they are still listing me as an All Star (below 95), though my rep now shows as 99. Whatever the reason, I appreciate the bump, and the kind words of posters like yourself. P.S: Glad that my snide aside earlier did not sidetrack the blog. Call it humor, with a nugget of truth burried within. |

Not at all...Gates IS in that Great and Powerful Oz realm. Looks like he came out from behind the "curtain" this am. iGates sees all (in tech it seems) |
