by hutwarmer November 28, 2008 10:09 AM PST: well, i suppose over the next few months we will see Yahoo torn apart and sold off piece by piece.; Like this Reply to this comment


by Danthemand November 28, 2008 1:13 PM PST: well you can be sure something is fixing to happen. This guy either sees things happening or makes them happen. I think Hutwarmer's comment is probably the most likely because they are too large and diversified for anyone company to want them.; Like this Reply to this comment

Lesson learned for Yang from his screw up on the deal. Don't be greedy. Now Icahn has the upper hand...; Like this Reply to this comment

He only has 5% of the company after spending $700,000,000? He overpaid.

by ceehow November 30, 2008 11:02 PM PST: i hate this guy......he wines and complains about the stock price being too low for his liking so he goes out of his way to make sure that the company can't focus on making the product better but instead now has to fight off being taken over repeatedly. maybe if he left well enough alone they would be performing better. if you don't like how the company is performing you SELL your shares, not BUY more!!; Like this Reply to this comment


by bruceslog December 1, 2008 11:48 PM PST: I think he is privy to the new rumored Microsoft 20 BILLION dollar buyout of Yahoo's search.
Yahoo will dissolve without it's search, but the lil prick will have increased His bank balance... at everyone else's expense, of course.; Like this Reply to this comment
