You can thank Carl Icahn for this! We all seen it coming once he got a seat on the Board. He wanted Jerry out, and he got his wish.

a strong microsoft-yahoo alliance is going to keep google on its feet. this will be good for consumers as quality products will keep on coming.

Amazing how Yahoo! keeps saying Microsoft will be coming back and thinks so within a couple of months. But then they also thought they could get nearly $40 a share too.

Just because you keep saying a thing doesn't make it true or likely to happen. MSFT has moved on and is doing other things. They simply don't need or want Yahoo! anymore.

But I'll try Yahoo!'s methodology- it might just work.

I expect Yahoo! to present me with a multimillion dollar check because I want one. They will be doing this in the next 2-3 months. Now if I keep saying that, will it come true? :)

Some people are very good at starting companies. Finding a way to turn the dream into a successful product or service is a special talent. At some growth point there are certain adjustments necessary to run a larger company. I think Jerry's letter says that very well. Mr. Icahn stated in recent interview for the Wall Street Journal that "I can go in and save 30% in almost any company because there is so much waste and mismanagement". This was published in the WSJ on Saturday, 15 Nov 08 on page A9.
